What Time Is the Millionaire Maker Draw?
The Millionaire Maker is drawn on the same nights as the main EuroMillions draw — every Tuesday and Friday — after UK ticket sales close at 7:30pm. The winning code is published alongside the EuroMillions results the same evening, on the National Lottery website, in the app and at retailers.
How draw night runs
Once sales close at 7:30pm, every valid code sold for that draw is loaded into the Automated Draw Machine, and one is selected at random after the main numbers are drawn. Results — the five numbers, two Lucky Stars and the winning Millionaire Maker code — then appear together later that evening. There’s no separate event to watch and no separate time to remember: if you know when EuroMillions results land, you know when the code does.
Checking tonight’s code
The official National Lottery site and app carry the winning code shortly after the draw, and online players are notified through their accounts automatically. Retail players can scan a paper ticket in any store or check the code character-by-character against the published result — all nine must match in order.
If you’ve missed a draw
Nothing is lost by checking late: results for past draws stay available on the official site, and every prize has a 180-day claim window from the draw date. A code from months ago could still be worth £1 million — unclaimed Millionaire Maker prizes are announced with regional appeals precisely because winners so often check their numbers and never their code.
One winner, every draw night
Unlike the jackpot, the Millionaire Maker cannot roll over — a UK millionaire is guaranteed to be created every Tuesday and every Friday. Whoever holds tonight’s drawn code has already won; the only question is whether they’ll look.
