EuroMillions Superdraws

This last Superdraw of 2023 had a boosted starting jackpot of €200 million. The grand prize rolled over twice before reaching its then-cap of €240 million. The biggest EuroMillions prize in the history of the game was won by an Austrian player. Consequently, the jackpot cap was raised to €250 million.

For the second Superdraw in a row, there was a jackpot winner on the night. This time the money went to a player from France.

For the first time in over a year, there was a winner in the Superdraw itself so the jackpot did not roll over. The jackpot went to a UK player.

There was no jackpot winner in the first Superdraw of 2023, but it only rolled over the once before a player from Belgium won €144 million in the next draw.

The €130 million jackpot rolled over on 2nd December, bumping the prize up for the next draw, when it was won by a player in Belgium.

Nobody won the €130 million jackpot on the night, pushing it up even higher for the subsequent draw. A jackpot worth €193 million was finally won on 23rd September.

The jackpot rolled over in the second Superdraw of 2022, and kept climbing until it got to its €230 million limit. A UK player eventually won on 19th July.

The jackpot was won on the night in the first Superdraw of 2022. The winning ticket was sold in the UK.

In the final Superdraw of 2021, the €130 million jackpot rolled over. A Spanish player won €143 million in the next draw.

The third superdraw of the year went without a winner until the cap of €220 million was hit, and was then won at the second time of asking by a single French ticket.

The second superdraw of the year was won on the night by a single player in the UK.

The first Superdraw of the year came and went without a winner on 5th February 2021.

Changes in February 2020 included a plan to up the frequency of Superdraws to three per year. This was achieved in September 2020, when the third Superdraw jackpot of the year was won by a ticket holder in Valladolid, Spain. The first two Superdraw jackpots of 2020 were also won in Spain, while the final one rolled over all the way to €200 million before a French player set a new record for the biggest-ever EuroMillions win.

Three Superdraws helped to make 2019 one of the biggest years for jackpots in EuroMillions history. The first of the year, on 1st February, was not won on the night but rolled over five times to reach €175 million, when it was won by an Irish family from Dublin. It was the biggest lottery prize to have ever been claimed in Ireland.

Neither of the two Superdraw jackpots in 2018 were won on the night of the draw. April's jackpot rolled over to €138 million for the following draw, when it was won by an anonymous ticket holder in the UK. September's Superdraw jackpot rolled over four times before a Swiss player won the entire €162 million.

On 30th June 2017 a player from the UK, who chose to remain anonymous, won a jackpot of €100 million on the night. The subsequent Superdraw on 15th September did roll over, all the way to the jackpot cap of €190 million. One more draw went by with the jackpot at its cap before a Spanish ticket holder claimed it all, making it the joint-biggest EuroMillions jackpot ever won.

Only one Superdraw took place in 2016, offering a top prize of €130 million. The jackpot rolled over three times and was eventually won by a father-of-four from Belgium, making him the fifth-biggest winner in EuroMillions history at the time. Not much else was revealed about the lucky winner, except that he worked for a waste management service in Brussels, loved football and Robert De Niro films, and liked cooking with fish.

2015 was a busy year for Superdraws, with three taking place in the span of nine months. They offered €300 million worth of jackpots between them. The jackpot in the first of the year was won on the night, but the other two rolled over to even higher amounts. The November Superdraw in particular was a highlight, as it rolled over to reach €163 million, at which point it was won by a single ticket holder from Portugal.

Neil Trotter, an amateur racing driver from the UK, won the first Superdraw jackpot of 2014, but not until it had rolled over twice to reach €129 million. At the time he was the fourth-biggest lottery winner ever in the UK. In October 2014 a Superdraw jackpot of €100 million rolled over all the way to the €190 million jackpot cap. A player from Portugal won the entire amount on 24th October, in the first draw at the cap.

2013 was the first time in which three Superdraws took place in the space of the same calendar year. The first of the year was on 15th March and it rolled over twice to reach €132 million; the second took place in June and rolled over five times to hit €187 million, just short of the jackpot cap. That prize was split between two winners: one from Ireland and one from Belgium. The final Superdraw of the year was on 15th November, and that time the €100 million on offer was won on the night.

The only Superdraw of 2012 took place in September and followed hot on the heels of a record €190 million jackpot win just a month before. The big win generated interest in EuroMillions just in time for the Superdraw; over 61 million entries were bought for the special event, almost double the number from the previous Friday draw. Wih that many players, it was always likely that the jackpot would be won on the night, and so it turned out; a player in Spain won the entirety of the €100 million prize.

A €100 million Superdraw took place on Tuesday 10th May 2011 in celebration of the first ever midweek EuroMillions draw. The 'Mega Jackpot' was not won on the night of the draw but instead rolled over to the next one on Friday 13th, a date that certainly didn't prove unlucky for the Spanish ticket holder who won all of the €121 million jackpot. That was followed by another in October, which rolled over once to €117 million before it was won by Dave and Angela Dawes from the UK.

Both of the Superdraws that took place in 2010 played out in a similar way. The €100 million jackpot on offer in each draw was not won on the night and in both cases rolled over once to reach €129 million. The February jackpot was then won by two ticket holders - one in the UK and one in Spain - while another ticket holder in the UK won the entirety of the October jackpot.

Both of the Superdraw jackpots on offer in 2009 were won on the night of the draw. In the first, on 6th March, the jackpot was split between two ticket holders - one from France and one from Austria - with each winner taking home €50 million. In the second of the year, on 18th September, the €100 million jackpot was won by a single ticket holder in France.

Unsurprisingly, the first ever EuroMillions Superdraw generated a huge amount of interest and as a result there were over 81 million entries. There was one jackpot winner on the night - a player from Belgium who took home a prize of €100 million. The Superdraw format proved to be popular among lottery players and it went on to be a regular and much-anticipated fixture on the EuroMillions calendar.
