Frequently asked questions
Common questions about reduced wheels for Eurojackpot
A reduced (abbreviated) wheel is a filtered set of tickets from the full 5-of-50 wheel. You pick more numbers than the Eurojackpot draw requires, and the system builds a set of tickets such that a specific win is guaranteed whenever enough of your picks are matched.
The T guarantee is the minimum number of matching numbers on a single ticket that the wheel guarantees, provided at least K of your V picks are drawn. For example, a '5-of-5' guarantee means that if all K Eurojackpot numbers fall within your picked group, the wheel is guaranteed to cover one ticket with a full match.
Only a full wheel covering all C(50,5) combinations guarantees the jackpot. Reduced wheels trade that 100 % guarantee for a dramatic reduction in ticket count: they guarantee a lower-category match (T of K), which lets you reliably win lower-tier prizes and boosts your chance at a major win on a lucky draw.
The ticket count (C) depends on the picked pool size V and the guarantee level T — the wider the pool and the stronger the guarantee, the more tickets. The tables above show the exact count for every wheel: from tens for basic guarantees to hundreds for the strongest ones. We recommend starting with the smallest wheels at a 2-of or 3-of guarantee to gauge the cost of playing Eurojackpot.
