Eurojackpot systems
The systems in Eurojackpot offer players the opportunity to increase their chances of winning by choosing more numbers than the basic rules of the game. Instead of a simple column of 5+2 numbers, the systems allow the creation of multiple combinations of numbers, which can significantly increase the chances of winning. Below are the available eurojackpot systems costing them according to the number of numbers selected:
| Type of System | Numbers Selected | Total Number of Columns | Cost (€) |
|---|---|---|---|

| 7 number system | 7 of 50 and 2 of 12 | 21 | 52,50 € |
| 8 number system | 8 of 50 and 2 of 12 | 56 | 140 € |
| 9 number system | 9 of 50 and 2 of 12 | 126 | 315 € |
| 10 number system | 10 of 50 and 2 of 12 | 252 | 630 € |
| System 45 | 5 numbers out of 50, but with all possible variations of 2 numbers out of 12 | 45 | 112,50 € |
How the systems work
- Create multiple combinations: Selecting more numbers automatically creates multiple columns.
- Increase odds: With each additional number you select, your chances of winning in one or more categories increase.
- Cost calculation: The total cost depends on the number of columns created. Each column costs €2,50.
Systems are a strategic choice for players who want to increase their chances of success, but require careful calculation of costs.
