What numbers do I need to win the jackpot?

What are the odds of winning the Eurojackpot?
The odds of winning the Eurojackpot's main prize are around 1 in 140 million, according to Westdeutsche Lottery. The chances of winning the second prize category are approximately 1 in 7 million, and the odds of winning the lowest prize category are 1 in 49.
How and where can players place bets on the Eurojackpot?
Eurojackpot can be played by adults in a lottery sales outlet or online at here or eurojackpot.de. Each bet consisting of five numbers between 1 and 50 in field A and two numbers between 1 and 12 in field B costs two euros plus processing fee.
Do you automatically participate in both prize categories?
Yes, participation includes both prize categories.
How should I avoid common mistakes when betting?
Avoiding Pitfalls
1. Evade Date-based NumbersMany people use the birthdays of their loved ones or personal anniversaries as numbers, which is a mistake. To minimize sharing the jackpot, use numbers beyond the popular range of 1-31 for months and 1-31 for days.
2. Steer Clear of PatternsNumbers forming a pattern within a game field, such as a cross, diagonal, or the letters "U," should be avoided to minimize the chances of winning from a lower prize pool due to numerous winners.
Seeking Help for Gambling AddictionFor those suspecting gambling addiction, help can be found through numerous resources, including telephone counseling at the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) under the toll-free number 0800-1372700 (Monday to Thursday from 10 am to 10 pm and Friday to Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm) or online counseling for gambling addiction. Additionally, you can find tests and tips on the Check-your-game page. The Professional Association for Gambling Addiction e.V. and buwei.de are also valuable sources of help.
3. Don't Bet on Number CombinationsAvoid marking combinations in a game field that follow a specific logic - for example, 6-12-18-24-30-36. These combinations are popular and can reduce your winnings if they're drawn. Similarly, crossing off the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6 is also unlucky.
4. Don't Use the Winning Numbers from the Last DrawThe belief that the numbers drawn in the last draw are lucky for the upcoming one is a misconception. The probability of these numbers winning again remains the same. Avoid frequently drawn numbers, as most players bet on them, which may decrease potential payouts.
Play strategies to increase your oddsPlace your trust in a random number generator when marking your crosses. This helps you avoid sticking to the same system every time, which many Eurojackpot winners have claimed to have done.
By what time can tips be submitted on the draw day?
The Eurojackpot draws occur every Tuesday and Friday. The deadline for submitting tips for the respective draw is 7 pm on the same day. However, the deadline may differ by federal state, as advised by the West German Lottery.
Where can participants find the drawn winning numbers?
The draw results are available on eurojackpot.de late Tuesday or Friday evening. In the lottery sales outlet, the winning numbers can be found from Wednesday or Saturday morning. Winnings can also be claimed based on the playing receipt.
Are any winnings tax-free?
Yes, in Germany, game, sports, betting, and lottery winnings are generally non-taxable.
