EUROMILLIONS. An exceptional jackpot of 215 million euros was at stake on Tuesday May 10, 2022. Has the jackpot been won? The results.
[Mis à jour le 11 mai 2022 à 09h59] It was the second biggest win in history to land. Tuesday, May 10, 2022, the FDJ put into play an exceptional sum of 215 million euros to be won by playing Euromillions. In the 12 European countries in which it is possible to play, the grids multiplied throughout the day… and one was the good one! It was in the UK that the winning combination was registered, it was announced. Across the Channel, a Briton has therefore become a multimillionaire by ticking the right boxes, being also propelled as the biggest winner in the country. He thus positions himself as the second most important winner of the lottery, behind a Polynesian who had won 220 million euros in October 2021.
If only one player managed to find the right numbers in the right order, several French people however won a few (smaller) jackpots on Tuesday. Four French people will indeed inherit 212,405.70 euros after finding the five correct numbers, as well as one of the two stars. In addition, a resident of the Grand Est won the MyMillion and therefore collected one million euros.
Draw of 10/05/2022
- 3 – 25 – 27 – 28 – 29 Stars: 4 – 9
- MyMillion: OL 151 7591
The next Euromillions draw will not be as colossal, but the chance of becoming a millionaire will double. Indeed, it will be a Friday the 13th. It will also be the only Friday the 13th of the year 2022, a date that the most superstitious are impatiently awaiting. 17 million euros will be put into play with the Euromillions, but a jackpot of 13 million euros can also be won with an exceptional Loto draw, this same Friday. In addition, fifty codes will be drawn at random to try to pocket 20,000 euros.
Statistics to win?
To thwart the random element, some players refer to statistics… Thus, any regular Euromillions player knows that the most drawn numbers since September 2016 are 20, 23, 27, 15 and 39 and the stars 2 and 3. Also, keep in mind that the least often drawn numbers are 18, 22, 40, 33, 36 and the stars 10 and 1.
If all the winners have already entered, your chances of hitting the jackpot are slim. Indeed, you have a one in 139,838,160 chance of becoming a multi-millionaire. This figure is also that of the number of different possible combinations in a Euromillions grid. To maximize your chances of winning, you can play several grids. Especially since you will also increase your chances of finding the correct MyMillion code.
