Simple bulletins allow between one and six combinations per ticket, while multiple bulletins permit players to mark up to 10 numbers and 12 stars on a single grid to increase statistical probability. For those without specific number preferences, the Quick Pick function generates a random selection automatically. In addition to standard European draws, the My Million game assigns an associated code to French entries, offering an additional prize tier administered by La Française des Jeux. The application is available on Android and iOS systems, and all validation modes maintain identical rules.
