Put together, a line wins something about once in every 13 draws. The Lucky Stars do a lot of the work: 5 + 0 is 45 times more likely than 5 + 2, which is why the two prizes are so far apart.
Over a year of playing
Two lines a draw, two draws a week, is 208 lines a year. The chance of the jackpot over that year is about 1 in 672,000. The chance of at least one 2 + 0 prize or better is close to certain. Change the lines and draws in the calculator to see your own figures.
The same draw runs in the UK and Ireland, so the odds are the same in both. The prize amounts differ because of currency and local extras like the UK Millionaire Maker. For your numbers, the EuroMillions number generator does Lucky Dips, and the lottery odds calculator compares every major game.
