Euromiliony
Euromiliony lottery offers one of the largest jackpots among all lotteries
In the Euromiliony game, players have a chance twice a week to play for tens to hundreds of millions of crowns. The objective is to correctly guess 7 numbers out of 35 from the draw pool and 1 additional number out of five. The potential winnings depend on the number of correctly guessed numbers and are distributed across 10 prize tiers. The more numbers the player guesses, the higher their prize – even with a lower bet. A player wins the minimum prize if they guess at least 2 out of 35 numbers and 1 additional number. As a bonus, players can also join the Eurošance game.

Game history
In the Czech Republic, this lottery has been played since 2003, when it replaced the 5 out of 40 game. In 2013, the additional game Eurošance was added. A similar version of this lottery is known worldwide under the name EuroMillions, which started in 2004 in the UK, France, and Spain. As its popularity grew, it expanded later that year to Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Switzerland. It is still played in these countries today, though the gameplay and rules may vary slightly.

How to check winnings
The easiest way to check if your ticket has won is by using the Sazka mobile app. Just take a photo of your bet confirmation and the system will evaluate it within seconds. Results can also be found on Sazka’s official website, where the winning numbers for other games are also published after each draw, or you can verify your ticket in person at any sales location with a Sazka terminal.
Euromiliony game rules
You can fill in 1 to 9 columns on one ticket with numbers from 1 to 35. Players pick a total of 7 numbers plus one additional number from 1 to 5. Numbers can be selected manually or via the random pick option, where the computer makes the selection. The base price for one completed column (one bet) is €1. Players can also join the Eurošance game, which costs the same as the Euromiliony bet. A fully filled ticket thus costs €10.
How to play Euromiliony
To play, players fill in 1 to 9 game columns either online or on a paper ticket by selecting 7 numbers from 1 to 35 from the first draw pool. From the second pool, they choose 1 additional number from 1 to 5. Players can also choose a system bet, which creates all possible combinations from their selected numbers, increasing their chance of winning. In this case, they only fill in the first column with 8 to 13 numbers and 1 to 5 numbers in the second pool.
If players don’t have lucky numbers in mind, they can go with a random tip, where the computer generates the selected number of digits for them. The probability of winning is the same whether you use your own numbers or random ones. Before confirming the ticket, they can also decide to participate in the additional Eurošance game, where the result is determined by the ticket number (paper ticket) or a system-generated code (online play). A confirmed ticket is valid only for the next draw, but it can be subscribed for up to 16 draws in advance.

Lottery tax
Lottery winnings are subject to tax like other types of income. As of January 1, 2024, the exemption limit for income from gambling games has been reduced from the original one million to €2,000. From now on, all winnings exceeding this threshold will be reduced by a 15% withholding tax. However, players are not required to report or pay this tax themselves, as the lottery company will deduct the tax and pay it on their behalf.
Individual winnings are not aggregated within a single tax period, which means each win is taxed separately. So, if during one tax period you win €1,600, €1,200 and €1,600 on three different lottery tickets (a total of €4,400), the winnings will not be taxed, since each individual win remains under the €2,000 threshold.
