Part of the excitement when playing Eurojackpot is discovering exactly how much you’ll win. You won’t know this until the results are published because the operators use a prize pool based on ticket sales to allocate money to each prize tier.

FAQs
You can take part in two Eurojackpot draws each week. The lottery takes place on Tuesdays and Fridays, at 21:00 EEST. South Africans are in a different time zone to Helsinki where the draws take place, so it takes place at 20:00 for local players.
In certain European countries the results are shown on TV, but countries have different approaches to showcasing the results. The draws for Eurojackpot are recorded live and you can watch footage of these draws by using YouTube.
For small amounts, European players can request payments from retail outlets or expect immediate payment in their online accounts. Larger prizes may require more elaborate procedures. For international players that use lottery sites, small amounts are often paid out quickly, but requesting a withdrawal to your personal account can take a few business days.
The rules about claim periods differ between countries. So, if you have an official ticket, you need to check where it was purchased. Claim periods in certain countries are also dependent on the size of the prize. The claim period can be anything between 30 days and 3 years.
The Eurojackpot does roll over when it’s not won. However, there is a jackpot cap, so it won’t increase indefinitely. Currently, the jackpot cap is set at €120 million.
The excellent odds are some of the reasons people enjoy Eurojackpot. Compared to Mega Millions, it’s much easier to walk away with the main prize. However, in South Africa you’ll find games with large jackpots with even better odds though. For example, SA Powerball’s odds of 1 in 42,375,200 of winning the jackpot makes it much easier to win than Eurojackpot.
