Greek Lotto has no rolling jackpot: every prize is fixed. The top prize is €1.2 million, paid as €10,000 a month for 10 years; if four or more players win it in the same draw, €3.6 million is shared equally between them. The second prize is shared once more than 150 players win it.
Draws: Wednesday and Saturday.
What 1 in 13,983,816 means
Playing one line in every draw, 2 draws a week, you would wait on average about 130,000 years for the top prize.
About 88% of winning plays win only the smallest prize, €1, the price of the play itself.
How the odds are worked out
There are 13,983,816 ways to choose 6 numbers from 49. Exactly one wins the top prize.
To match k of your 6 numbers, you need k of the 6 numbers drawn and 6 − k of the 43 numbers not drawn. That is C(6, k) × C(43, 6 − k) combinations, and the chance is that count divided by 13,983,816.
