EuroJackpot is Europe's largest lottery by number of participating countries, launched as an alternative to the most popular EuroMillion game, leading European lotteries by jackpot size and number of winners.
With 18 countries participating in the EuroJackpot Lottery, the new European lottery has surpassed the EuroMillions lottery as the undisputed leader in European lotteries due to its number of member states since its launch. Specifically, the official members of the EuroJackpot lottery alliance are: Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia.
Europe's largest lottery, similar to the industry leader Euromillion, was conceived by the founders several years before its launch. This unique lottery project, which originated in 2006, conducted its first draw only in 2012, which is unsurprising considering the global reach of the official EuroJackpot lottery ticket distribution.
The first draw of the EuroJackpot was held on the 23rd March 2012 with a minimum €10 million jackpot declared by the founders. The jackpot continues to be relevant and can grow from draw to draw via rollovers up to a maximum €90 million EuroJackpot declared by the Euro lottery organisers.

How to Win the EuroJackpot Lottery
One of the reasons why EuroJackpot draws are so popular, in terms of the number of countries that create them, is that you can win the top prize if your combination of 5 1 numbers matches the second prize category. Such a chance arises when, after a series of rollovers, the jackpot reaches €90 million and, if there is no winner, is distributed to the secondary prize categories amongst the holders of the corresponding winning combinations.
As well as the opportunity to win particularly large prizes in categories one and two, EuroJackpot players stand a good chance of winning the remaining ten prize categories, which start at a minimum ratio of 1:42 for the top two and one additional 'Euro number'. To date, record EuroJackpot prizes of €90 million have been won on May 15, 2015 by a lucky man from the Czech Republic and on October 14, 2016 by a lucky lottery fan from Germany.
