¿How do you play it?
The way of playing is very easy and simple of understanding, we explain to you how
The game is divided into two different parts: the numbers and the stars
First, we must choose 5 numbers between 1 and 50, then, we will choose 2 lucky starts, they have to be numbers between 1 and 12.
The riffle works thanks to two machines that extract randomly, 5 numbers and 2 stars.
This way, depending on the numbers that we've chosen, we will have a prize or another.
Types of prize
There are 13 different prizes when we play the Euromillion.

Although the probabilities of winning the rifle are not impossible, on many occasions, fortunately, or unfortunately, there's no winner. When this happens, the total amount of the prize accumulates for the following winner, making the next time winner even more fortunate.
Probabilities
When we play one of these lotteries, it is important to know the statistics of it just so we know if it's worth it to invest in one of these numbers. Here we will provide you with the information you need to know for the new time you decide to participate.
Let's talk about the hypothetical case where we guess every single number and every single lucky star. To know which is the percentage of winning, we must take some things into account.
- Numbers: As we've mentioned, we have to guess 5 numbers from 1 to 50. This means that by getting only the five numbers, we have 1 probability between 2. 118, 7600
-Lucky starts: in this case, we have fewer numbers to choose from, and a smaller number of options, so we're left with 1 probability out of 66.
- If we make the final result, we multiply the 2 probabilities, and we get the result of 1 between 139. 838, 160. In percentage, this means we have a 0,000000715% chance of winning the next time we participate in this lottery
How can we increase the probabilities?
Get to know the history
It might seem like something useless and nonsense, but knowing the numbers that have repeated themselves in this riffle, could orient us on our next number choice.
If we see the most repeated combinations in history we can see:
-It exists a combination of númbers that has won twice the biggest prize of Euromillón. We're talking about the 5 numbers 4-30-31-38-42.
- The numbers that we get the least in all history are 33-41-33-18-47.
We take advantage of this to remind you guys that this lottery is celebrated every week. If we want to check the latest stats, on the official euromillón site, we can find the updated data until the very last riffle.
Getting to know its other playmodes
If after the stat that we've calculated you are feeling low, don't worry. You'll be happy to know that, like in other lotteries, we can play up to 10 different times, which will make your probabilities increase a lot.
We cannot allow low stats to bring us down, there's always a winner and you don't know if it may be you.
from Loterias del Mercat, we encourage you to participate in the next event, now that you know everything we've talked about today.
