How Not to Play?

2. Steer Clear of Patterns
Avoid numbers that form straight lines, such as diagonals or letters like "U", as these are often chosen by many players.
Need Help with Gambling Addiction?Those battling with gambling addiction can find help through the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) at the free service number 0800-1372700 (Monday to Thursday from 10 am to 10 pm and Friday to Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm). Online counseling for gambling addiction is also available. To learn more, visit Check-dein-Spiel. The Professional Association for Gambling Addiction e.V. is another resource.
3. Avoid Number Combinations
Try not to choose combinations that follow a specific logic, like 6-12-18-24-30-36, as these are common and less likely to win due to the large number of players using them. Crossing off the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6 is also not especially lucky.
4. Don't Take the Numbers from the Last Draw
The numbers drawn in the previous draw have the same likelihood of winning as any other week. Steer clear of frequently drawn numbers, as many players bet on them, which could reduce potential winnings.
How to Play Instead?Trust a random number generator to pick your numbers, as it can help you avoid playing the same system every time and potentially increase your chances. Many Eurojackpot winners choose their numbers randomly[7].
When's the Last Chance to Place Tips on the Draw Day?
Draws occur every Tuesday and Friday. Tips must be submitted by 7 PM on the same day, but some states may have an earlier deadline[8].
Where Can Players Find the Winning Numbers?
The draw results will be available on eurojackpot.de late Tuesday or Friday evening[8]. Winnings can be claimed in-person at a lottery sales outlet from Wednesday or Saturday morning.
Are Any Winnings Tax-Free?
Yes, lottery winnings in Germany are usually not taxable[8].
