Joker Odds of Winning
The Greek Powerball game is also known as Joker, or Tzoker in Greek. Having three draws a week, this is a lottery game where the jackpot grows quickly and the odds are great.
Playing the Greek Powerball requires you to pick digits from two separate groups of numbers, 1-45 and 1-20. Using two number sets makes the game’s odds a bit more challenging than the country’s other major game, Greek Lotto. But having eight prize tiers in total is a very attractive feature! Here are your chances set out in detail.
| Tier | General Numbers | Powerball | Odds of Winning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 1 | 1:24,435,180 |
| 2 | 5 | 0 | 1:1,286,062 |
| 3 | 4 | 1 | 1:122,175 |
| 4 | 4 | 0 | 1:6,430 |
| 5 | 3 | 1 | 1:3,132 |
| 6 | 3 | 0 | 1:164 |
| 7 | 2 | 1 | 1:247 |
| 8 | 2 | 0 | 1:53 |
To win any prize at all, your overall odds are 1:34,1 in this lottery.
