Euromillions Hotpicks?

Could someone who understands this game, please clarify something for me?

If I choose one number, and it comes up, I win £10.

If I choose two numbers, and they come up, I win £100.

If I choose two numbers, but only one comes up, do I still win £10?

    no as with the ordinary lotto if you pick 2 they both have to come up think 3 and 3 come up you get 1,500
  • So, if I pick 5 numbers, all 5 have to come up, for me to win anything?

    Thats correct, so if 4, 3, 2 or 1 numbers pop up on your 5, you get £0

    It's pays very poorly and is the same principal as lotto hotpicks.
    Many bookmakers offer this type of thing as a bet which returns far more for the money
  • Yes it's to cash in on the folk who know nothing about betting shops. Hotpicks works in a similar way to the Irish Lotto Bet that bookies run i.e 3 out of 3 numbers to win.
