How does the reduced euromillions work?

Reduced Euromillions, reduced Euromillions, reduced Euromillions… surely you have heard these terms on more than one occasion. What we are not so sure about is that you know what its meaning is. For this reason, in today's article we want to inform you about what the reduced euromillions is and how it works .

How does the reduced euromillions work?

The reduced euromillions is a system that allows us to play only and exclusively the columns that at least guarantee prizes of 4, 3, 2 or 1 hit, as long as we have 5 hits in the forecast made. To dare to play the reduced euromillions, it is not necessary to have any previous knowledge about this or other State Games and Bets .

Thanks to the reduced euromillions system, the traditional direct play of more than 5 numbers can be made cheaper. A set of columns drawn from a system is played directly, guaranteeing a minimum of hits. Depending on the minimum number of hits that is guaranteed, the reduced combinations of Euromillions can be divided into:

Reductions to 1

Different prizes of at least 1 hit are guaranteed. These are prizes of 1 + 2 in case you choose to hit the two stars. It should be noted that the player can only play a reduction to 1 if he chooses more than 20 numbers.

Reduced to 2

They ensure at least one or more prizes of 2 hits. These are 2+1 or 2+2 prizes depending on the chosen combination of stars.

Reduced to 3

They guarantee a minimum of 3 hits and several prizes of 2 and 1. Depending on the way the stars are combined, the options 3+0, 3+1 or 4+2 will be awarded.

reduced to 4

Here at least 4 hits are guaranteed and different prizes of 3, 2 and 1. As always, depending on the combination of stars chosen, the possible prize options are 4+0, 4+1, 4+2.

Get access to higher category prizes

Playing the reduced Euromillions there are possibilities of accessing prizes of higher categories. For example, when playing reduced to 4 we have the possibility of hitting all 5. This will only happen when the winning column coincides with one of the columns that make up the reduced combination.

The importance of the stars

When playing reduced euromillions, the stars have great importance. These work independently. Once the reduction is chosen, it must be taken into account that the greater the number of stars, the greater the number of bets.

random stars

The cheapest option. The stars played can be randomly combined 2 by 2 in each reduced euromillions bet. A unique pair of stars is played on each five-number bet. There is only a set number of hitting 1 or 2 stars.

Two stars

The one that increases the volume of bets the most. It guarantees that all 5-number draws played will hit the 2 predicted stars. Each column of 5 numbers is combined with all pairs of stars in the general forecast.

Two stars if it comes out

The player chooses a fixed star and it is combined with the rest. If the chosen star comes out, the player will have both as long as they are correct in the forecast.
