How to Bet on EuroMillions
Betting on EuroMillions from South Africa is quick once you know the three steps. You are placing a fixed-odds bet, in rand, on the outcome of the European draw — not buying a ticket overseas — so choose what to back, set your stake, and the payout is locked in before you confirm.
Step by step
- Choose what to back — the five main numbers from 1 to 50, the two Lucky Stars from 1 to 12, or a combination across both pools.
- Set your stake in rand — and check the fixed payout shown for your chosen market.
- Confirm before betting closes — earlier in the evening; the bet settles automatically when the result is in that same night.
A worked example
Say you back two main numbers plus one Lucky Star for the Friday draw at a R10 stake. Both main numbers must be among the five drawn, and the Lucky Star among the two drawn, for the bet to win — the payout is shown at fixed odds, in rand, before you confirm. Backing the Lucky Stars on their own is a shorter-odds bet because they come from the smaller pool. See the odds and payouts for how each market is priced, and the EuroMillions guide for the full picture.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a European ticket or euro account?
No. You bet in rand with a South African licensed bookmaker and are paid in rand. There is no European ticket, no euros and nothing to claim abroad.
When does betting close?
Before the evening draw. Place your bet earlier in the evening, South African time, on the Tuesday or Friday draw day.
