The likelihood of winning the top prize-meeting all five main numbers and both Euro numbers-is 1 in 140 million. According to the rules, a guaranteed jackpot of at least €10 million is paid out for each draw. If the jackpot is not claimed, it rolls over and increases, capped at €120 million. Once that cap is reached and still unclaimed, the surplus is transferred to the second prize tier, where a winning ticket requires five correct main numbers plus a correctly matched Euro number.

For this particular draw, the standing jackpot was around €31 million.
