The Eurojackpot draw held in Helsinki, Finland, on October 6 failed to determine the winner of the top prize of 1억2천만 euros.
With no participant matching all 5 regular numbers and 2 Euro numbers, the top jackpot carried over to the next draw.
Although the prize is large, the reported odds of winning first prize are 1 in 1억4천만.
3-Line Summary
1. The 1억2천만-euro Eurojackpot jackpot has rolled over.
2. The numbers drawn on October 6 were 7·12·19·28·50.
3. To win first prize, participants must match all the regular and Euro numbers.
The October 6 Draw Had 7 First-Prize Numbers
In the October 6 Eurojackpot draw, 5 regular numbers and 2 Euro numbers were drawn. The numbers were regular numbers 7·12·19·28·50 and Euro numbers 1·6. WEB.DE reported that Westlotto, the lottery operator in Münster, Germany, announced after the draw that there was no first-prize winner.
To win first prize in Eurojackpot, participants must match 5 of the 50 numbers and 2 of the 12 Euro numbers. BILD introduced the odds of winning first prize in this game as 1 in 1억4천만. Although the top jackpot was at stake in this draw, whether a participant wins depends on whether all 7 numbers selected in advance match the draw results.
The Jackpot, Having Reached the Maximum, Also Shifts to the Second Prize Tier
Eurojackpot’s maximum jackpot is 1억2천만 euros. If there is no first-prize winner, the jackpot accumulates, but after it has already reached the maximum amount, unpaid money moves to the second prize tier. WEB.DE explained that the longer this stage continues, the larger the possible prizes in the second tier become.
This is a lottery jointly operated by 19 participating countries, and the draws take place in Helsinki. Draws are held on Tuesdays and Fridays. According to WEB.DE’s report, the top jackpot was still not won after the October 6 results, and participants will again try to match the numbers for the maximum prize in the next draw.
The Result Left by the Large Jackpot Is the Absence of a First-Prize Winner
The confirmed result of this draw was that the first-prize numbers were announced and no one matched the entire combination. Since there was no first-prize winner, the maximum jackpot remained in place, and it was also revealed that the jackpot does not continue accumulating beyond the cap.
WEB.DE reported that experts said people should be mindful of the possibility of gambling addiction. The fact to confirm before focusing on the amount of 1억2천만 euros is that there was no first-prize winner in this draw either, and the next draw will also use the same number-combination format. According to reports, participants must be at least 18 years old.
