Eurolotto jackpot and prices
The jackpot starts at a minimum of €17 million and can roll over up to a cap, which is currently set at €220 million as of my last update in April 2023. If the jackpot reaches the cap and is not won, it can stay capped for four draws before it must be won or rolled down to lower prize tiers.
