Six-digit sum for a Hessian: He got the right number in the Eurojackpot on Friday. Three other players shared his luck.

Several lottery players were able to enjoy big wins after Friday night’s Eurojackpot draw – including a bettor from Hesse. He reached the third prize category with five correct numbers and won 312,134.50 euros.

Players pay two euros per field typed, and a one-time processing fee is also charged per ticket. In addition to the classic paper tickets at lottery acceptance points, those interested have other options: The federal state lottery company and the t-online lottery service offer practical online participation. Submission deadlines vary by state and end on Tuesdays and Fridays.

In Helsinki, Eurojackpot draws are held twice a week under police supervision. The minimum jackpot is ten million euros, while the maximum win is 120 million euros. Players must correctly predict five numbers between 1 and 50 and two Euro numbers between 1 and 12 for the top prize. The odds of winning the top prize (class 1 prize) are 1:139,838,160. In the lowest prize class (class 12), two correct main numbers plus one correct Euro number will result in a win – with odds of 1:49.
