Eurojackpot is one of Europe’s biggest lotteries, with draws every Tuesday and Friday. In Spain, tickets are sold by ONCE for €2 per combination, with jackpots of up to €120 million.
Eurojackpot is a major European lottery played in 19 countries, including Spain, where it is sold exclusively by ONCE. You choose five numbers from 1 to 50 and two Euro numbers from 1 to 12. Each combination costs €2, and draws take place every Tuesday and Friday. The jackpot starts at €10 million and can grow to a maximum of €120 million.

How Eurojackpot Works
To enter Eurojackpot, you choose 5 main numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 Euro numbers from 1 to 12. ONCE calls the additional numbers soles, meaning suns in Spanish.
All participating countries use the same winning combination. The jackpot is awarded to bets matching all five main numbers and both Euro numbers.
- Choose five numbers between 1 and 50.
- Select two Euro numbers between 1 and 12.
- Choose your draw: Tuesday, Friday or both, depending on the available ticket options.
- Pay €2 per combination. Multiple combinations increase the total ticket price.
- Check the official results after the draw to see whether you have won a prize.
You can choose your own numbers or use a randomly generated combination. Every valid individual combination has exactly the same chance of winning the jackpot.
In Spain, Eurojackpot is available through authorised ONCE sellers and its official JuegosONCE website, subject to registration and eligibility requirements.
Important: The normal draw starts from 20:00 Spanish peninsular time, but the results are generally available later in the evening. ONCE lists a regular sales deadline of 18:59 on draw days. Always verify the current deadline before participating.
What Happens at the €120 Million Jackpot Cap?
Eurojackpot has a maximum first-category jackpot of €120 million. When nobody matches all five main numbers and both Euro numbers, the jackpot can continue rolling over until this limit is reached.
Once the first-category jackpot reaches its maximum, any prize money allocated above the cap is transferred to the second prize category, which requires five main numbers and one Euro number.
As a result, the second category can become unusually valuable when the first-category jackpot is capped.
This does not change the probability of winning. The odds for every valid combination remain the same regardless of the advertised jackpot.
Eurojackpot Prize Tiers and Odds
Eurojackpot offers 12 winning categories. Prize amounts vary depending on total sales, the prize distribution and the number of winning combinations across participating countries.
| Tier | Match | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (jackpot) | 5 + 2 | 1 in 139,838,160 |
| 2 | 5 + 1 | 1 in 6,991,908 |
| 3 | 5 + 0 | 1 in 3,107,515 |
| 4 | 4 + 2 | 1 in 621,503 |
| 5 | 4 + 1 | 1 in 31,075 |
| 6 | 3 + 2 | 1 in 14,125 |
| 7 | 4 + 0 | 1 in 13,811 |
| 8 | 2 + 2 | 1 in 985 |
| 9 | 3 + 1 | 1 in 706 |
| 10 | 3 + 0 | 1 in 314 |
| 11 | 1 + 2 | 1 in 188 |
| 12 | 2 + 1 | 1 in 49 |
Odds are rounded and refer to one standard combination under the current 5/50 + 2/12 rules. Prize amounts for categories 2–12 depend on the number of winners and the prize fund.
Good to know: Matching only two main numbers without an additional Euro number does not qualify for a prize. The lowest winning category requires two main numbers and one Euro number.

Eurojackpot vs. EuroMillions in Spain
Spain offers both major European lotteries, but they are sold through different operators. Although they use identical number formats, their prices and jackpot limits are different.
| Eurojackpot | EuroMillions | |
|---|---|---|
| Sold in Spain by | ONCE | SELAE |
| Price in Spain | €2 | €2.50 (incl. El Millón) |
| Draw days | Tuesday & Friday | Tuesday & Friday |
| Format | 5 from 50 + 2 from 12 | 5 from 50 + 2 from 12 |
| Jackpot odds | 1 in 139,838,160 | 1 in 139,838,160 |
| Jackpot range | €10M – €120M | €17M – €250M |
| Prize categories | 12 | 13 |
| Spanish extra raffle | No equivalent regular El Millón raffle | El Millón: one €1 million winning code per draw |
What is the main difference? Eurojackpot costs less per combination, while EuroMillions offers a higher maximum jackpot and includes participation in Spain’s additional El Millón raffle.
The jackpot odds are identical, but the overall probability of winning any prize differs because EuroMillions has an additional prize category.

For a different type of Spanish lottery, the Christmas El Gordo uses pre-printed five-digit tickets and has first-prize odds of 1 in 100,000 per décimo. Its prize structure is very different from Eurojackpot.
Tax on Eurojackpot Prizes in Spain
Eurojackpot prizes won through ONCE in Spain are subject to the Spanish special lottery tax rules. The first €40,000 of an individual qualifying prize is exempt, and 20% is withheld on the amount exceeding €40,000.
The following examples show the approximate amount a winner receives after Spanish withholding tax.
| Prize | Spanish tax | You receive |
|---|---|---|
| €10,000 | €0 | €10,000 |
| €100,000 | €12,000 | €88,000 |
| €1,000,000 | €192,000 | €808,000 |
| €10,000,000 | €1,992,000 | €8,008,000 |
| €120,000,000 | €23,992,000 | €96,008,000 |
Examples assume one qualifying prize belonging to one winner. Actual jackpot payouts depend on the prize amount and any other winning combinations. International winners may face additional tax rules in their country of residence.

How to Claim a Eurojackpot Prize in Spain
Eurojackpot prizes in Spain are paid through ONCE, rather than SELAE. The payment process depends on where you purchased your ticket and the prize amount.
- Physical tickets: Prizes may be collected through authorised ONCE sellers, ONCE centres or collaborating financial institutions, depending on the amount.
- JuegosONCE purchases: Prizes are credited through the official online account in accordance with the operator’s payment and verification procedures.
- Claim deadline: Physical Eurojackpot tickets sold by ONCE generally expire 30 calendar days after the day following the draw.
- Online prizes: ONCE states that prizes corresponding to eligible entries made through JuegosONCE do not expire under the same physical-ticket rule.
Keep your original ticket safe and check your winnings as soon as possible. For large prizes, identification and additional verification may be required.
Read the official ONCE prize-payment information for the applicable procedure.
How to Play Eurojackpot from Abroad
Eurojackpot is played across 19 European countries. If you live in another participating country, you may be able to purchase entries through your own national lottery operator, subject to its rules.
Tickets purchased in different participating countries are part of the same European draw, but the sales and prize-claim procedures are handled nationally.
Important: According to ONCE, winning Eurojackpot tickets must be claimed in the country where they were purchased.
Other services may advertise Eurojackpot access through messenger services or lottery betting. A messenger service may purchase an official ticket on your behalf, whereas lottery betting is a separate wager on the result without ownership of an official lottery ticket.
Before using an online service, check its licensing, local availability, fees, ticket ownership and prize-payment conditions.
Our guide to playing Spanish lotteries online explains the differences between these services.
