Jackpot behaviour

In comparison to other lotteries such as the EuroMillions along with the German Lotto 6 aus 49, the Eurojackpot was created to spend much more frequently (1:95 million odds versus over 1:139 million for the EuroMillions along with the German Lotto). As a result, it is not anticipated that the lottery will grow towards the same record-breaking sizes achieved through the EuroMillions, because it will in all probability be won instead.

Around January 31, 2013 the Euromillions lottery stood a ‘rolldown’ clause: in case the jackpot is not won for 12 consecutive draws, the 13th draw will likely be at the mercy of a rolldown whereby if no winner has the capacity to match all 7 winning numbers, the jackpot pays to another winning tier in which a winner can be obtained. It had been this clause that set the first sort jackpot record of 27,545,857.50 Euros in August 2012, being a German player who correctly matched the five main numbers, but only one of the Euronumbers (out of two), walked away together with the jackpot within the second prize tier.

Initially the record for the largest jackpot for the EuroJackpot was set on May 15, 2015 in which a person from Czech Republic won the 90,000,000.00 Euro jackpot.
