On Friday, March 28, 2025, the EuroMillions lottery is set to make history with a staggering jackpot of 243 million Euros, the largest ever offered since the lottery's inception in 2004. This unprecedented sum has generated excitement across Europe, with nearly 50 million players expected to participate in hopes of winning big.
The previous record, held by an Austrian who won 240 million Euros in 2023, is about to be challenged as the jackpot has continued to grow since there has been no winner since March 7, 2025. Following the last draw on March 25, which featured a 217 million Euro jackpot, 43 million tickets were sold, yet no player successfully matched all five winning numbers and the two lucky stars.
For those looking to try their luck, the deadline to enter the EuroMillions draw is 8:15 PM on March 28, 2025. The My Million draw will take place at approximately 8:20 PM, followed by the EuroMillions draw at 9:05 PM. Results will be announced soon after, with My Million results expected around 8:35 PM and EuroMillions results at 9:45 PM.
As the excitement builds, many players are not just dreaming of what they would do with such a life-changing amount of money. Some envision buying dream homes, luxury cars, or traveling the world. However, financial experts also suggest that the winners should consider wise investments to secure their newfound wealth.
According to BFMTV, a strategic approach to managing this windfall could include diversifying investments to mitigate risk. For example, a winner might consider purchasing a luxury property on the French Riviera or a chic Parisian apartment. Investing in real estate could provide a solid foundation for wealth preservation.
Moreover, the winner could look into financial products that combine stocks and bonds. By doing so, they might reasonably expect an average gross return of about 5% in the first year, translating to a potential gain of 11.65 million Euros. After taxes, this would leave them with approximately 8.15 million Euros, or around 679,000 Euros per month.
By reinvesting 75% of these earnings, estimated at about 510,000 Euros monthly, the winner would still have more than 169,000 Euros each month to live on, which breaks down to nearly 5,500 Euros a day. This substantial amount would easily cover living expenses, including any applicable wealth taxes.
The draw will be broadcast live around 10 PM on TF1 during the popular show "Danse avec les stars," allowing eager participants to see if their dreams come true. For those unable to watch the live broadcast, results will also be made available on the EuroMillions - My Million website and the FDJ application shortly after the draw.
As anticipation builds, players are reminded that EuroMillions is ultimately a game of chance. The French gaming authority, now known as FDJ United, emphasizes that it is impossible to reliably predict outcomes or winning numbers in future draws. However, they do provide statistics on frequently drawn numbers, which include 35, 34, 42, and 29, offering players a glimpse into past trends.
With the chance to win a life-altering sum, many are eager to participate in this historic draw. The excitement surrounding the EuroMillions lottery not only highlights the allure of wealth but also the dreams and aspirations that accompany such a significant prize. As players across Europe prepare to submit their tickets, the question remains: who will be the lucky winner of this record-breaking jackpot?
