Overview
- The Eurojackpot rose to the statutory maximum of €120 million for the Tuesday, 6 October drawing after the Friday, 2 October draw produced no top‑prize winner.
- Draws take place in Helsinki under local police supervision and are later checked by the central control office in Münster, and the jackpot requires five correct numbers from 50 plus two correct Euro numbers from 12.
- A single tip’s chance of winning the top prize is about 1 in 139,838,160, a probability experts use to stress that very large sums do not make a win much more likely.
- Big capped jackpots typically attract many occasional players, which raises the money paid in secondary prize tiers and can create multiple seven‑figure payouts for five-plus-one matches, as seen after the 2 October draw.
- Practical notes for players: a tip field costs €2 plus a small processing fee, online participation closes nationwide at 18:45 CET with in‑person deadlines varying by state, official results and draw videos are published online, and the BZgA hotline for gambling help is 0800 1 37 27 00.
