How to Play EuroJackpot
To play EuroJackpot, players are required to select five numbers between 1 and 50 plus two additional numbers, known as Euro numbers, from a choice of 1 to 10. To win the jackpot, players must match all seven numbers drawn. In the event that no ticket holder matches all seven numbers required, the jackpot rolls over to the following draw.
The jackpot is capped at €90 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. The largest jackpot to date in Eurojackpot is €90,000,000.00 and was won on 15th May 2015 by a single ticket purchased in Czech Republic.
