How to play Sazka lotteries

Sazka currently offers players 14 lotteries on its website, where they can compete for valuable cash prizes. However, to participate, they must first register with Sazka. This process involves entering an email address, setting a password, and then filling in personal details either via bank identity verification or manually. They must also confirm their details, verify their email address, set gaming limits, and finally deposit funds into their gaming account.

How to bet on Eurojackpot

Players can place bets on Eurojackpot both online and at branches or sales locations of Sazka (for online play, they must first register and log into their profile). They then select 5 numbers from 1 to 50 in the first column and 2 numbers from 1 to 12 in the second. If they do not have their lucky numbers, they can use the random selection option, where numbers are generated by a computer, or choose a system bet. As an additional game, there is Extra 6, where players do not select their own numbers but simply check a box to indicate whether they want to participate.

How to increase your chances of winning the jackpot

Unfortunately, there is no proven strategy that works 100% of the time, nor a simple guide to winning any lottery. The more numbers in the drum, the more possible combinations exist. Specifically, in Eurojackpot, the odds of hitting the jackpot are 1:139,838,160. As the prize tier decreases, the probability of winning increases. However, players can improve their chances with these simple steps.

More tickets

One way to improve the odds is to bet on multiple tickets. Each ticket allows players to fill in up to 6 columns with different number combinations and subscribe for up to 12 consecutive draws (covering 6 weeks). However, players can place an unlimited number of tickets. A fully completed ticket with all columns and the Extra 6 add-on game costs €20, which is not an insignificant amount. A solution could be pooling bets with other players, sharing the initial costs and splitting any potential winnings.

System bet

This type of betting allows players to select a certain number of numbers, from which the system automatically generates all possible combinations. It works similarly to betting on multiple tickets. However, the more combinations created, the higher the cost of the bet, which may no longer be worthwhile in the end. The more combinations a player bets on, the higher the ticket price.

Jackpot growth

The jackpot amount depends on the total bets and the number of players. If players dream of a truly massive sum, it might be worth waiting until the promised prize grows significantly. The maximum limit for the Eurojackpot is set at €100 million. Once this limit is reached, any additional funds are redirected to increase the second and third-tier prizes, which are more attainable for players.

Pay with bonus points

Sazka offers its registered players and members of the Sazka Club various opportunities to earn bonuses. They can participate in bonus games, different contests, and promotions, or use the bonuses to pay for new bets. This way, they don’t risk losing their own money, but if they win, the entire prize is paid out (credited to their player account) in Czech koruna, from which they can withdraw funds anytime according to the applicable rules and conditions.

Statistics on drawn numbers and winnings

Currently, Eurojackpot is played in 18 European countries, with German players enjoying the most success, having won €2.7 billion since 2015. In the Czech Republic, a total of €180 million has been distributed among winners. The highest win was achieved in 2015 with a prize of €100 million (the second-highest win brought the lucky player €3 million). The most frequently drawn numbers in the first drum are 20 and 25, while in the second drum, they are 9 and 11.

Where to bet on Eurojackpot

Players can place their bets on this lottery online on Sazka’s website or via their Sazka mobile app. Additionally, bets can be placed at branches and retail locations with a Sazka terminal. However, registration with Sazka is required for online play. Betting at retail locations is possible without registration, but Sazka Club members enjoy a more convenient and faster experience, along with access to bonus offers, special contests, and promotions.
