The more numbers you guess correctly the more money you win. There are 12 prize tiers in each Eurojackpot draw, in ascending order: 2+0, 2+1, 1+2, 3+0, 3+1, 2+2, 3+2, 4+0, 4+1, 4+2, 5+0, 5+1 and 5+2. You can see the exact amounts for each tier from inside the simulation.
The draw is held in Helsinki every Tuesday and Friday. The amount of each prize depends on several factors: fixed distribution percentages for each category, collection and participation by country. If there are no 1st category winners (5 numbers and 2 euronumbers) the prize is added to the jackpot fund for the following draw.
