EuroMillions HotPicks: What 2 Numbers Pays
Pick 2 on EuroMillions HotPicks pays £100 for matching both of your chosen numbers among the five main EuroMillions balls drawn. It’s all-or-nothing: match both and the £100 is fixed and never shared — match just one and the ticket wins nothing at all.
How EuroMillions HotPicks works
HotPicks piggybacks on the main EuroMillions draw every Tuesday and Friday: you choose how many numbers to predict, from Pick 1 to Pick 5, using the five main balls only — Lucky Stars play no part. Prizes are fixed, running from £10 for Pick 1 up to £1 million for Pick 5, and every Pick requires all your chosen numbers to appear. There are no consolation tiers.
The Pick 2 trade
Two numbers from fifty is a genuinely hard ask — that’s why the £100 prize is 100 times a Pick 1 win rather than double. It’s the classic HotPicks ladder: each step up multiplies the prize far faster than the difficulty multiplies, which is exactly why the top Picks return less on average. Pick 2 sits in the sweet spot many players like — a three-figure prize at odds that land often enough to feel real.
Wasn’t HotPicks changed in June 2026?
Lotto HotPicks was — its prizes halved and every line now plays two rounds. EuroMillions HotPicks was untouched: same single draw, same fixed prizes, same £100 for Pick 2. The two games share a name and a concept but run on different draws with different prize tables, and only the Lotto side was reshaped.
Claiming a £100 win
Online entries are paid automatically to your account; retail tickets up to £100 can be paid over any store counter, making Pick 2 the biggest HotPicks prize you can collect with your shopping. Claims stay open for 180 days.
