The EuroMillions jackpot reaches 89 million euros for the Friday, October 30, 2026 draw, marking the final event of the month and arriving the day before Halloween after a seven-draw sequence without a top-tier winner, as reported by tirage-gagnant.com.
The Bottom Line
- The Jackpot: An estimated 89 million euros is up for grabs following Tuesday’s rollover where no player claimed the 79 million euro prize.
- The Deadline: Grids must be validated by 20:15 either online or at authorized retail locations.
- The Extra Chance: Every ticket purchased in France automatically generates a My Million code for a guaranteed one million euro payout.
Climbing the October Prize Ladder
The current cycle opened on October 6 with the baseline amount of 17 million euros. Over seven consecutive draws, the prize fund expanded steadily from 17 million to 28, 37, 49, 59, 71, 79, and finally 89 million euros for Friday night, according to tirage-gagnant.com. This trajectory places the jackpot just one million euros shy of the 90 million euro threshold. As noted by BFMTV, the prize money will return to play and increase further if no participant matches all five main numbers and two lucky stars.
Understanding the Mechanics and Odds
Participating in the draw requires selecting five numbers between 1 and 50 alongside two stars from a separate pool of 1 to 12. A standard grid costs 2.50 euros, with 2.20 euros allocated to the main EuroMillions game and 0.30 euros funding the My Million draw unique to France. According to 20 Minutes, players can also opt for the Étoile+ feature for an additional euro per combination to target supplementary winning tiers. The mathematical probability of securing the top-tier jackpot with a single grid stands at approximately 1 in 139,838,160.
Timelines and Past Results
Ticket sales close sharply at 20:15 on Friday evening across all physical outlets and digital platforms, with online participation remaining available until the final minutes before the deadline. Following the cutoff, the My Million winning code is announced around 20:50, while the official EuroMillions numbers are published starting at 21:15, with comprehensive winning reports following later in the evening.

The previous Tuesday draw yielded no jackpot winner for the 79 million euro prize, though one European ticket holder matched the five main numbers without the stars to collect significant winnings. In France, participants matched four numbers and two stars to claim prizes, while the evening’s My Million code—AH 180 7894—minted a new millionaire in an undisclosed region.
