Eurojackpot is a lottery organized by various betting offices, including the Czech Sazka. Players buy a bet on which they fill in columns with numbers. Each column contains two number rows, where you have to choose 5 numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 numbers from 1 to 12. The numbers can be chosen either manually or randomly by the computer. The price for one bet on a single column in the Czech Republic is CZK 60.
When betting on the Eurojackpot, Czechs can also play the extra game Extra 6, where the win is determined by the serial number of the bet. This game costs CZK 40 per bet, and participants can bet on up to 12 draw days at once, paying up to CZK 4,800 for a fully filled ticket. The Eurojackpot draw takes place twice a week in Helsinki, Finland, while the Extra 6 winner is drawn by Sazka in Prague. Eurojackpot, which started playing in 2012, is now popular in many European countries, including the Czech Republic.
In Eurojackpot, the winner is the player who guesses at least 3 drawn numbers, while the main prize goes to the one who correctly guesses all 5 numbers from the first lottery and 2 numbers from the second lottery (5+2). The organizers distribute 42.5% to 50% of the total deposits among the winners. The main prize ranges from €10 million to €120 million, while Sazka converts the winnings into crowns according to the current CNB exchange rate. With the current exchange rate, the jackpot can reach up to 3 billion crowns.
