Eurojackpot participants all over the country
The Eurojackpot is well-known all over the continent. Very special if you consider the fact that it was established just a couple of years ago, in 2012. The lottery has expanded a lot and its popularity has grown. Currently there are eighteen participating nations, namely Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Iceland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands, Spain, Slovenia, Sweden, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia.
Choose your favorite number
The simple rules are an important reason for the popularity of the Eurojackpot. Participants buy a ticket with 50 numbers in total. They have to choose 5 main numbers out of it, as well as two bonus numbers out of 10. As a player you can decide the numbers yourself. You’re your birthday for example, or favorite number. All numbers have to match with the numbers that appear during the draw. If this is the case, you can call yourself a millionaire.
From Friday 25 March onwards the Jackpot can rise from a minimum of €10 million to €120 million. From now on there will also be a Tuesday draw, so you can hit the Jackpot twice a week with your lottery tickets. Furthermore, you can choose from the bonus numbers 11 and 12 (this was bonus numbers 1 to 10).
Changes to prize scheme
There are still 12 prize categories at Eurojackpot. The distribution of prize money between prize categories has been changed in some cases. The changed prize schedule will be in effect from the draw on 25 March. The changes can already be found here.
It’s very easy to buy tickets for the Eurojackpot. They’re available online and in most tobacco stores and kiosks. It feels great to buy a ticket online when it’s bad weather outside. Luckily you pick your favorite numbers from the comfort of your own home. It feels great that you can choose your own five numbers and bonus numbers. Some people find it difficult to choose random numbers. There is a computer available that choses the ticket numbers automatically.
Low ticket prizes
The low ticket prize is also a reason why people love Eurojackpot. A single ticket only costs 2 euros, so it’s even cheap to buy multiple tickets. It doesn’t cost much, but it increases your winning chances. You’re definitely not the only player doing it. Perhaps you’ll be convinced by the fact that you only need to have three correct numbers and two bonus numbers to win. The exact amount of prize money is not known beforehand. It depends on the number of tickets that were sold and the number of people that have chosen the winning combination.
Lotteries and probability calculation
Anyone who wants to become an excellent gambler should know something about probability calculation. The basic principle of a lottery is that a lot of people buy a ticket to participate. Lottery winners are with the money of all the participants. Everyone wants to be a winner, but this happens only to a few. This because of the simple fact that the winning odds of the Eurojackpot lottery are low, namely 1:95.344.200. How more people participate, how lower the winning chances are. Past Jackpots have proven that nothing is impossible though. Besides that, the chance to win one of the other is much higher. Eurojackpot has twelve prize categories in total. The highest categories contain the most money. The chance that you win one of the prizes of the other categories is 1:42.
Twelve prize categories
Nobody knows for sure if he or she is going to the win the Jackpot. Not even those who have a ‘feeling’ can be sure until the draw takes place. This explains the popularity of the lottery. It’s exciting and no one knows what is going to happen. Eurojackpot has twelve categories with all kinds of prizes, from high to low. The highest prizes can be found in the upper categories. Other good news is that the lottery also pays out at least fifty percent of the lottery tickets revenue.
