Playing EuroMillions Abroad

You can play EuroMillions abroad without any issues. You do not have to be a resident or a citizen of a country to take part. You can buy tickets from authorised retailers in any of the nine participating nations, or play online. Find out more about how to play EuroMillions in a foreign country, whether it is Portugal, Spain, France or elsewhere.

Visiting a Participating Country

EuroMillions tickets are sold in nine countries – Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. You are eligible to play as an expat or a visitor to any of these places regardless of your nationality (as long as you are at least 18 years old). It does not matter if you live in a different participating country or somewhere else. It may be that you are there on holiday, working, studying, or for any other reason.

It’s important to remember that any prizes you win must be claimed in the same country as where you purchased the ticket. You will have to make sure you collect your money before you leave, or you will have to return before the claim deadline. Go to the How to Claim page for more information.

If you win cash amounts in three of the EuroMillions jurisdictions, you could also find yourself liable for taxes. Find out more details about Taxes in EuroMillions countries.

Playing EuroMillions Around the World

EuroMillions is a lottery that can be played and enjoyed all around the world. There are a number of online lottery services that are tailored to international players, so you can take part from outside the participating countries and still have the chance to win all the same prizes as someone within those nations.

You can play EuroMillions online from most countries. However, there are some nations where the game is currently unavailable due to local rules and restrictions. If you’re not sure whether you can play where you are, go to the Play page and select the link to buy tickets.

If you’re a EuroMillions fan in Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus or a wide range of other countries, it’s easy to sign up and choose your numbers. Here’s a quick guide:

• Register an online account. This process is safe and secure.
• Select your numbers (five from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Stars from a separate pool of 1 to 12).
• Decide how many consecutive draws to play
• Purchase your entries

Once the draw has taken place, you will receive an email if you have won. Any winnings will be transferred to your online account. There are other advantages to playing online too, with your numbers safely stored so there is no danger of ever missing out on a prize.

You can also play EuroMillions outside Europe. The game’s popularity has exploded globally beyond a single continent and you can take part from most nations around the world.
