Hoy puede ser un gran día para los jugadores del Euromillón, ya que contamos con un premio acumulado de 17 millones de euros.
How the game works
To enter, players select five numbers from 1 to 50 and two "star" numbers from 1 to 12. Matching all seven numbers wins the jackpot, but the game offers 13 prize tiers, from matching just two numbers up to the top category.
In Spain, a single bet costs 2.50 euros and includes entry into the supplementary "El Millón" draw, which is available only to tickets sold in Spain. In other countries, the base price is 2 euros. The prize pool represents 50% of total ticket sales.
Where to watch
The draw is scheduled to begin at 21:00 CET, with live coverage available via the official website of Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (SELAE) in Spain and through lottery operators in other participating nations. El Confidencial will also offer a minute-by-minute live blog starting at 21:30.
Larger context
EuroMillions was launched in 2004 by a consortium of lottery operators from Spain, France and the United Kingdom and has since expanded to nine countries. It has a jackpot cap of 190 million euros; if the top prize is not won, it rolls over and increases for the next draw, with excess funds allocated to the second prize category once the cap is reached.
Funds from ticket sales support social and cultural projects in the participating countries, including education, health, sport and heritage programmes.
