EuroJackpot: Official Guide, Rules, Odds & How to Play
Europe's fastest-growing lottery — jackpots from €10M up to €120M, drawn every Tuesday & Friday
Draws every Tuesday & Friday at 8:00 PM CET (Helsinki) — results available via SmartLotto within minutes of the draw
EuroJackpot is a pan-European transnational lottery launched in March 2012 as a rival to EuroMillions. Operated by a consortium of 18 European national lotteries, it uses a format virtually identical to EuroMillions — 5 main numbers from 1–50 plus 2 Euro Numbers from 1–12 — but is managed from Helsinki, Finland.
EuroJackpot is now the fastest-growing lottery in Europe, having expanded from 8 countries at launch to 18 participating countries by 2022. A second weekly draw (Tuesday) was added in March 2022 alongside the original Friday draw. Maximum jackpot is capped at €120 million — lower than EuroMillions but with identical odds.
Choose Your 5 Main Numbers
Select 5 numbers from 1 to 50. Each number has an equal probability of being drawn. Use your favourites, choose a Lucky Dip, or use SmartLotto's AI prediction systems.
Choose Your 2 Euro Numbers
Select 2 Euro Numbers from 1 to 12. These are drawn from a completely separate barrel and are required for the top 9 of 12 prize tiers.
Select Lines & Draws
Enter a single line or multiple lines. Choose one draw or multiple draws. Tuesday and Friday draws are independent — entering both draws doubles your weekly chances.
Purchase Your Ticket
Available from authorised lottery retailers in 18 participating countries, online via participating national lottery websites, or via Australian-approved lottery concierge services.
Watch the Draw — Tuesday & Friday
Draws take place at 8:00 PM CET (Helsinki) every Tuesday and Friday. Results published online and via SmartLotto immediately after each draw.
Claim Your Prize
Non-jackpot prizes are paid automatically via your ticket provider. Jackpot prizes require prize claim coordination with the national lottery of the country where your ticket was purchased.
Euro Numbers function identically to EuroMillions' Lucky Stars. They are drawn from a separate barrel of 12 balls (numbered 1–12), independent of the main 50-ball draw. You must select 2 Euro Numbers per entry, and they are required to win 9 of the 12 prize divisions.
Because both EuroJackpot and EuroMillions use 5/50 + 2/12 formats, SmartLotto's prediction algorithms — including the Cherry Pick Engine and QME — can be applied directly to EuroJackpot draw history with the same methodology used for EuroMillions.
EuroJackpot has 12 prize divisions. The minimum jackpot starts at €10M. The cap is €120M — once reached, the jackpot is won at that level or cascades to Division 2.
