Which European lotto has the best odds?
The first thing you'll want to know when deciding which European lotto to play is which game has the best winning odds. Like with other lotteries, it all comes down to balancing winning odds against jackpot prizes. You can expect that lotteries with smaller prizes will have higher odds, and that lower odds will mean higher prizes.
When it comes to winning chances, SuperEnalotto surprisingly has both the highest and lowest odds. How can that be? It's because this Italian lottery is known for having one of the hardest to win jackpots in the entire world, with jackpot odds of 1 in over 622 million. On the other hand, its lowest division prize has odds of 1 in 22, making it one of the prizes with the highest winnings odds in Europe.
As far as jackpots with higher odds go, both EuroJackpot and EuroMillions have identical odds of 1 in almost 140 million. When you participate in EU Jackpot and Spain La PrimitivaLotto at theLotter Australia, these odds are matched. Consequentially, because both jackpots use the same amount of numbers and guess range, their odds are almost identical all the way down. Although, EuroMillions does have an extra prize tier providing some variety. EuroMillions also has the famous Superdraw, which you can read all about in our EuroMillions Superdraw guide.
