Eurojackpot prize tiers and odds
There are 12 prize tiers, from 5 + 2 down to 2 + 1. Half of all stakes goes to the prize pool, so prize amounts below the jackpot vary per draw. The odds are our own calculation for one combination.

|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 + 2 (jackpot) | 1 in 139,838,160 |
| 2 | 5 + 1 | 1 in 6,991,908 |
| 3 | 5 + 0 | 1 in 3,107,515 |
| 4 | 4 + 2 | 1 in 621,503 |

What happens at the €120 million cap
The jackpot rolls over until someone wins it or it reaches €120 million. Once it hits the cap, the money that would have made it grow goes to the tier below instead, so the 5 + 1 prize gets bigger while the jackpot stays at €120 million.

Eurojackpot compared with SuperEnalotto
Both are sold by Sisal in Italy, but they are very different games.
| Eurojackpot | SuperEnalotto | |
|---|---|---|
| Jackpot | Capped at €120 million | No cap |
| Jackpot odds | 1 in 139,838,160 | 1 in 622,614,630 |
| Draws | Tuesday and Friday | Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday |
| Price per line in Italy | €2 | €1 |
| Tax in Italy | 20% above €500 | 20% above €500 |
The Eurojackpot is about four and a half times easier to win than the SuperEnalotto jackpot, but it can never become as large. For the American comparison: the Powerball jackpot is 1 in 292,201,338.
How Eurojackpot came to Italy
Eurojackpot started in March 2012, and Italy was one of the founding countries, with Sisal as its seller. The game was set up as a European rival to EuroMillions, with a capped jackpot that is won more often. In 2022 the rules changed in all countries: the cap went up from €90 million to €120 million and a second weekly draw, on Tuesday, was added.
Frequently asked questions
Can I claim in Italy a Eurojackpot ticket bought in another country?
No. You can only claim a prize in the country where the ticket was bought. A ticket bought from Sisal in Italy is paid out in Italy, under Italian rules.
How much tax do I pay on a Eurojackpot win in Italy?
20% on the part of the prize above €500, deducted before payout. A €10,000 prize pays out €8,100. In some other Eurojackpot countries the tax is lower or zero, so the same win is worth a different amount depending on where you bought the ticket. See the Italian lottery tax page.
Where is Eurojackpot drawn?
In Helsinki, Finland, every Tuesday and Friday evening, under independent supervision. The same numbers apply in all 18 countries.
How long do I have to claim a prize in Italy?
90 days from the day after the official results are published. For prizes of €10 million or more you have three years.
