Every draw is independent and random, and past results never change your chances. This is not a tool for predicting winners. It is for seeing the odds for yourself, and how the losses grow the more you buy.
Using the estimated prizes, the average return is about 31.1% (about €0.62 for 1 ticket). Every Eurojackpot prize is pari-mutuel: it changes each draw with sales and the number of winners. Tiers 2–12 are theoretical estimates worked out from the official share of the prize fund for each tier. The jackpot is set to the guaranteed minimum of €10 million, so the payout ratio comes out lower than the long-run figure. A ticket is €2, as in most countries (some countries charge more).

Eurojackpot odds, and how this simulator works
Eurojackpot is a lottery sold together in 19 European countries, including Germany, Italy, Spain and Finland, with draws in Helsinki every Tuesday and Friday. You pick 5 numbers from 1 to 50 and, from a separate draw machine, 2 Euro numbers from 1 to 12, for 139,838,160 combinations. The jackpot needs all 7 to match, so the odds per ticket are about 1 in 139.8 million — buying one ticket for every draw, that's about once in 1.34 million years on average. There are 12 tiers, and the odds of winning any of them are about 1 in 32. Matching just 2 numbers doesn't win. With the jackpot at its €10 million minimum, a €2 ticket is worth about €0.62 on average (a payout ratio of about 31%).
This simulator decides each draw's winning numbers first with your device's cryptographic random numbers (crypto.getRandomValues), then checks every ticket you bought for that draw against them. Even if you buy 1 million tickets, there's only one draw, just like the real thing. The 3D drums only replay the numbers already decided and never change the result. The checking runs separately from the page (in a Web Worker), so even 1 million tickets won't freeze it. Your numbers and results stay on this device and are never sent anywhere.
FAQ
Common questions about the Eurojackpot simulator.
Are my numbers or results sent anywhere?
No. The draws and the totals all happen in your browser on this device, and your numbers and results so far stay on this device only. “Clear results” deletes them.
Can it tell me hot numbers, or what comes up next?
No. Every Eurojackpot draw is independent and random. Numbers from the last draw, numbers that haven't come up for a while, or patterns like birthdays don't change your chances. This simulator is for fun and for understanding the odds, not for predictions.
How are the random numbers chosen?
It uses your browser's cryptographic random numbers (crypto.getRandomValues) and picks 5 different numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 different Euro numbers from 1 to 12, without bias. The 3D drums only roll out the balls already decided, in order, and never change the result.
What prize amounts does it use?
Eurojackpot has no fixed prizes. Half of sales goes to prizes, a set share of that (from 8.6% for tier 2 to 20.3% for tier 12) goes to each tier, and it's split between the winners. Tiers 2–12 use the theoretical amounts worked out from those shares and the odds (from about €600,000 for tier 2 to about €10 for tier 12). The jackpot rolls over and varies a lot, so it's set to the guaranteed minimum of €10 million (the cap is €120 million).
Is a ticket €2 in every country?
Most countries charge €2, but some charge more — for example €2.50 in Greece and Slovenia — or bundle an add-on game. This simulator uses €2 and leaves out national fees.
Are taxes or payout options included?
No. Prizes are the estimated amounts as they are, with no national taxes. Amounts stay in euros and aren't converted to other currencies.
What's the expected value or payout ratio?
With the jackpot at its €10 million minimum, a €2 ticket is worth about €0.62 on average, a payout ratio of about 31%. In reality the jackpot grows with rollovers, and over the long run close to half of sales is paid out as prizes. The more you buy, the closer your returns get to that share — the rest is lost.
How long does “Until jackpot” take?
The odds are about 1 in 139.8 million, so on average it takes about 139.8 million tickets (about €280 million). Buying 1 million at a time, that's about 140 draws on average — and with luck it can be many times more. If you want to stop partway, press “Stop” and the results up to that point are added.
Won't buying 1 million tickets freeze the page?
No. The checking runs separately from the page (in a Web Worker) and finishes while the draw machine is spinning. “Until jackpot” fast-forwards, and you can stop it any time with “Stop”.
How is it different from EuroMillions?
Both pick 5 from 50 and 2 from 12, so the odds of the top prize are the same, about 1 in 139.8 million. Eurojackpot has 12 tiers, matching just 2 numbers doesn't win, and the odds of winning any prize are about 1 in 32. A ticket is €2 in most countries, and the jackpot is capped at €120 million.
The draw machine doesn't show in 3D.
The 3D drums use WebGL. On devices or browsers without WebGL, a flat version shows the balls coming out one at a time. The results are decided the same way. If “Reduce motion” is turned on in your device settings, the animation is skipped and the result appears right away.
How is “how many years” worked out?
The number of tickets bought is divided by “Tickets per week” × 52 weeks. There are two draws a week (Tuesday and Friday), so to buy one ticket for every draw, choose “2”.

Yes, it's free. No sign-up, and no ads.
