PlayEtoile+
Etoile+ is a supplementary EuroMillions game played in France that is not like any of the other associated games offered elsewhere in Europe. It boosts your overall chances of winning a prize, and also increases the value of payouts in most categories.
The game is centred around the Star numbers. It even allows you to win a prize if you match one Star without getting a single main number. Find out more about how the game works.
How Etoile+ Works
To play Etoile+, you just have to select the option in the relevant place on your EuroMillions grid. The cost of entry is €1 per play, so if you have a single combination you would pay €3.50 in total. If you submit three EuroMillions combinations with Etoile+, the cost is €10.50, and so on. You cannot play Etoile+ on its own, it is an add-on to the main EuroMillions game.
All you have to do then is wait for the draw to take place and find out if you are a winner. Etoile+ offers 10 different prize tiers, and has created thousands of extra winners in every draw since it started in September 2016.
Etoile+ Prizes
If you add Etoile+ to your EuroMillions ticket, you win a prize if you match one or both Stars without getting any of the main numbers.
You will also get a larger prize if you win in any of the EuroMillions prize tiers that involve matching Stars, apart from the jackpot. For example, if you match five numbers and one Star, you will receive a higher payout if you’ve added Etoile+ than if you have not.
