To win Game 2 of Big Draw 2000, simply match the 2 years print on your ticket with the 2 years drawn (1 from the past 1000 years and 1 from the next 1000 years) and you'll be celebrating the millenium as a millionaire. Guaranteed!
* The prize figures are estimates. They are based on estimated sales of £125,000,000. The exact value of prizes depends on the number of tickets sold, the number of Game 2 winners and how many people match the winning years.
** If 2 or more players win the Game 1 Jackpot, it will be shared between them.
*** In Game 1 the Match 5 Category is the highest Prize Category. If a player correctly mathces the 5 Main Years and the Bonus Year, the prize will be the same as that for the Match 5 Category.
