How to Play Eurojackpot
To play Eurojackpot, you must select five numbers between 1 and 50, plus two additional numbers from 1 to 12. To win the jackpot, you will need to match all seven numbers drawn. In the event that no ticket holder matches all seven numbers required, the top prize rolls over to the following draw.
The jackpot is capped at €120 million, but in the event that funds from ticket sales exceed this amount, the excess funds are rolled down and added to the second tier prize pool.
Eurojackpot has 12 prize tiers and the winning combinations, as well as the odds of winning, are as follows:
