The EuroJackpot Lottery
THE EUROJACKPOT LOTTERY (EUROJACKPOT)
The EuroMillions lottery (not to be confused with the EuroJackpot lottery) had just three participating countries upon its inception. Within months this number increased to nine competing countries bearing testament to the viability of the EuroMillions lottery. The Pan-European countries that couldn’t participate in the EuroMillions lottery game set about devising their very own lottery so they too could share in the excitement and joy of massive jackpot draws. Even though the EuroJackpot Lottery is comparatively younger (the first draw took place on 23rd March 2012) its jackpot has the ability to rise as high as €90 million! |

How To Play EuroJackpot
The EuroJackpot game employs a very similar structure to the Euro Millions lottery. Lottery players select five numbers from a possible 50, then a further two numbers from a possible eight numbers. To win the jackpot prize, players need to match all seven lucky lottery numbers. For those players who aren’t able to score a perfect match up, there are 11 additional prize tiers in which they can win.
The EuroJackpot has a fairly sizeable rollover cap in place, peaking at its record prize payout - €90 million. If the jackpot remains intact after reaching the rollover cap, then it will remain at €90m. The lower prize tier divisions will then be topped up accordingly, also to a maximum of €90 million. EuroJackpot originally had a rollover cap in place, in addition to the regular jackpot cap – the lottery could only roll over a maximum of 12 times. If, by the time the 12th draw came and the jackpot was still not won, the jackpot amount would roll down to the lower tier.
Notable Jackpots
From May - August 2012 the EuroJackpot game rolled continuously. On the 12th rollover, the jackpot had still not been claimed so the entire €27,545,858 tier one jackpot prize rolled down to the second tier (match 5+1). As there was only one second tier winner, the total jackpot prize was effectively won by a player who didn’t even match all seven numbers!
The biggest jackpot paid out to date was an impressive €90,000,000 won by a player from the Czech Republic on Friday 15th May, 2015. This was the first time that the jackpot cap had been reached.
