Eurojackpot prizes
The odds for each prize category (as well as the overall odds of winning) remain the same for every draw, but the prize amounts change from draw to draw because Eurojackpot is a pari-mutuel game. This means that a fixed percentage of the total prize fund (the amount raised from ticket sales for each draw) is allocated to each prize category.
The actual amount won in each category also depends on how many winners there are in that category, as the total allocated to that tier is divided equally among all winners.
Eurojackpot also features a “rolling” jackpot, which increases for every draw it goes without being won. As a result, the jackpot value can vary significantly depending on when it was last claimed. Visit the Eurojackpot Prizes page for more information.
