Stumbling Millionaire Grandma Misplaces Jackpot Ticket So, how many numbers do you need to nail the Jackpot?
To hit the big one, you'll want five primary numbers right, along with two lucky Euro numbers. Each ticket has 50 numbers in the five primary fields and 12 Euro numbers. Even if you've only nailed one Euro number, you could still score a cool million.
How much will it cost ya?
Prices aren't standard across countries, but a field with five primary numbers runs you around 2 euros. Then there's a processing fee of roughly 0.20 euros to tack on, bringing your total to just about 2.40 euros per field.
Your odds of winning... seasoned with a pinch of hope.
Don't hold your breath, mate. The odds of winning the EuroJackpot main prize are approximately 1 in 140 million[1]. But hey, that's lottery for ya! For the second prize category, your odds are about 1 in 7 million[1].
