During Friday’s Eurojackpot drawing, the winning numbers were chosen in the evening. They were 8, 17, 26, 31, 47, with the two Euro numbers 1 and 6. These figures come with no guarantee of accuracy.

The odds of winning the top prize, Prize Class 1, are 1 in 140 million. Gambling can be addictive.

Every draw guarantees a minimum jackpot of €10 million. If nobody wins, the pool rolls over and the jackpot grows until it reaches €120 million. Should the €120 million still go unclaimed, the excess is transferred to Prize Class 2, where claiming five main numbers plus one correct Euro number suffices.
