UKTV has signed a seven-year deal with lottery operator Camelot to air the EuroMillions draw.
The draw is currently being shown on Challenge, but will be broadcast live every Friday on UKTV Gold from March 2 at 10.20pm.
James McCourt, who already fronts the existing draw on Challenge, will continue to do so for the UKTV Gold show. Additional content will be provided through two new entertainment formats featuring comedian Nick Hancock, which will rotate quarterly.
The draw is played in nine European countries and last year set a £125 million world record for the largest jackpot.
The 10-minute production is made by Endemol-owned Initial and is UKTV Gold’s first advertiser-funded programme.
