Greece Lotto Odds of Winning
The Greece Lotto, active since 1990, is one of the many games that use the popular game setup of picking six numbers from the range between 1 and 49. There is a bonus number drawn, but this won’t make you eligible for the main prize, only the second tier.
This game setup results in impressive odds, so you have a good chance of getting a prize – much more so than in some of the more well-known international lotteries like Mega Millions.
Another great feature is having multiple prize tiers that can turn you into a winner! Here’s a table to explain.
| Tier | General Numbers | Bonus Number | Odds of Winning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | n/a | 1:13,983,816 |
| 2 | 5 | 1 | 1:2,330,636 |
| 3 | 5 | n/a | 1:55,491 |
| 4 | 4 | n/a | 1:1,083 |
| 5 | 3 | n/a | 1:61 |
Greece Lotto Prize Breakdown
It’s definitely worth taking a chance with Greece Lotto since the jackpot grows over time. Although this main prize is not as huge as Eurojackpot or Mega Millions, it has hit €2 million (ZAR 38 million) very recently and even more than that in its history.
There are set prizes for the lower tier categories. Players appreciate that they receive a guaranteed amount – no need to divide the prize money as is the case with pari-mutuel lotteries.
Check below to see how much you stand to win with this Greek game.
Here’s a table for clarity:
| Category | Numbers Matched | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | Jackpot (~ZAR 950,000) |
| 2 | 5+1 | €50,000 (~ZAR 950,000) |
| 3 | 5 | €1,500 (~ZAR 28,500) |
| 4 | 4 | €30 (~ZAR 570) |
| 5 | 3 | €1,50 (~ZAR 28,50) |
Note that the first tier does carry pari-mutuel rules. Therefore, if more than one person has the correct set of numbers, they’ll split the jackpot prize between them.
