An exceptional EuroMillions Mega Jackpot puts a minimum of 130 million euros on the line for the transnational lottery draw on Friday, November 6, 2026, according to RueDesJoueurs. This special formula guarantees a jackpot well above the usual starting amount and is reserved for only a few draws throughout the year, as reported by Bfmtv.
To win the top-tier prize, players must correctly select five main numbers out of 50 and two additional stars out of 12 on a standard grid, which carries a probability of one in 139,838,160, according to Bfmtv. If no player across the participating countries matches the full winning combination, the massive sum rolls over and increases for the subsequent draw, Bfmtv notes. In addition to the main transnational draw, the French National Lottery (FDJ) runs the My Million game, which guarantees that at least one player in France or the Principality of Monaco will become a millionaire by the end of the evening, as detailed by RueDesJoueurs and 20 Minutes. Every validated grid automatically generates a unique My Million code, from which one winning code is drawn FDJ.
Set Strict Cutoff Time for Ticket Validation
Participants validate their entries either at an authorized FDJ retail counter during opening hours or digitally through the official FDJ website and mobile application available for Android and iOS, according to Bfmtv and 20 Minutes. A standard grid costs 2.50 euros, and players use the Flash function for random number selection or register favorite numbers Bfmtv.
The strict cutoff time for ticket validation is 20:15 Paris time on the evening of the draw, regardless of the Mega Jackpot status, as outlined by Tirage Gagnant. The publication notes that physical retail tickets depend on the exact timestamp printed on the receipt, while online digital submissions process down to the second on 20 Minutes’s recommended portal, FDJ.fr. Any grid validated after 20:15 defers to the subsequent Tuesday draw on November 10, 2026, with the jackpot resetting to 17 million euros if the 130 million prize is claimed Tirage Gagnant.
Following the close of ticket sales, the evening unfolds according to a structured schedule managed under the authority of a commissioner of justice in Paris:
