EuroJackpot and EuroMillions are the two most popular lotteries in Europe, bringing players together from across the continent in the quest to land a payout that can make dreams come true. While they share some similarities, they do have some very distinct differences.
First, let look at their similarities. Both of these European powerhouses are drawn on Tuesday’s and Friday’s. They also share the same format where players choose five main numbers and two additional numbers – Euro Numbers and Lucky Stars. This means that the likelihood of winning the jackpot is the same in both: 139,838,160 to 1.
Given these similarities you would be forgiven for thinking that these lotteries are largely the same thing packaged differently, but you would be wrong! A closer examination of each shows that there are big differences that could persuade you to choose one over the other.
First, we have the price. Eurrojackpot is slightly cheaper at €2.00 compared to the €2.95 a bet on EuroMillions cost you. That extra 45 cents goes a long way however, as the minimum and maximum jackpots are significantly larger with EuroMillions. In EuroJackpot the minimum jackpot is €10 million, while EuroMillions offers €17 million. The biggest difference is in the maximum potential jackpot. EuroJackpots maximum jackpot is €120 million, an amount that would undoubtedly make most people’s dreams come true. EuroMillions, however, boasts a maximum jackpot of €250 million – more than double that of its continental rival.
Whichever lottery you choose, you are going to be entering a lottery where staggering jackpots are won every week. We hope you enjoy playing one or the other (or both!) and we wish you good luck!
