Get Set For Big EuroMillions Events
Last Updated: Tuesday 18th August 2026, 10:00 am
A couple of exciting promotions have been lined up for EuroMillions players, with a guaranteed millionaire on Friday 21st August and a Superdraw ahead in September. Find out more about these exciting events!
Special Ireland Only Raffle Draw
One lucky ticket holder is guaranteed to win a seven-figure prize as part of the Ireland Only Raffle on Friday 21st August, making it a perfect day to take part.
In a standard draw, the Ireland Only Raffle gives away 10 prizes of €5,000. You are automatically entered when you buy a EuroMillions ticket, with one random raffle code generated for each line of numbers you buy. The code consists of four letters (always starting with an ‘I’) and five numbers. Match one of the 10 winning codes exactly and you’ll receive €5,000.
In Friday’s special draw, one of the 10 raffle winners will be selected at random to receive an extra €1 million, taking their total prize to €1,005,000.
The odds of winning an Ireland Only Raffle prize depend on how many tickets are sold, so they vary from draw to draw, but they are always considerably better than your chances of winning one of the top two prizes in the main draw.
September Superdraw
The date of the next EuroMillions Superdraw has been set for Friday 25th September, with the jackpot set to be increased to €130 million (provided it is short of that figure after the draw on Tuesday 22nd September).
Superdraws, also known as Megadraws, are held a few times a year and use money from a Reserve Fund to boost the jackpot to a guaranteed nine-figure amount (usually €130 million).
There has never been an Irish winner on the night of a Superdraw, although back in February 2019 a family syndicate from Co Dublin scooped €175 million after a Megadraw jackpot rolled over for a few more draws.
The jackpot can roll all the way up to €250 million before it gets capped, then it can stay at this value for four more draws before there must be a winner.
Keep the date of 25th September in your diary as a time to play for a gigantic jackpot, and enjoy EuroMillions draws every Tuesday and Friday in the run-up to the big event.
