The scale for OPAP games
Tzoker, Lotto, KINO, ΠΡΟΤΟ, SUPER 3, EXTRA 5 and Eurojackpot. Each band is taxed at its own rate, per entry in one draw, after the entry's cost is subtracted.
| Part of the win | Rate |
|---|---|
| €0 – €100 | 0% |
| €100.01 – €200 | 2.5% |
| €200.01 – €500 | 5% |
| €500.01 – €2,500 | 10% |
| €2,500.01 – and above | 20% |
Lottery tickets are taxed differently: per ticket, on the part above €100, at 10% if the win is up to €1,000 and 15% if it is more.
