The European Lotteries With the Best Odds

Good Odds

When you consider the odds of winning US Powerball are 1 : 292,201,338, it’s simple to understand why many Lottoland players prefer their chances of becoming rich in the wide selection of European lotteries now available to Australians. That’s because some European lotteries are much easier to win!

For example, the odds of winning Poland’s Mini Lotto are just 1 : 850,668 – some of the best odds in the business. Swedish Lotto, which has jackpots that have reached up to $33 million, also has great odds of winning in relation to some of its peers. For example, the odds of hitting the Swedish Lottery Jackpot are 1 : 6,724,520, while the odds of winning Oz Lotto are more than 7 times that at 1 : 45,379,620. Considering the Swedish Lotto jackpots can often be similar or bigger than the Oz Lotto jackpot, it’s in your interest to put the ABBA record on and wait for your lucky numbers to come out in the Scandinavian lottery of choice!

There’s more to European lotteries than vikings and Volvos though. Here’s the top 7 easiest European lotteries to win based on their odds.

As you can see from the above list, with great odds and the potential to win big, Swedish Lotto is a great option! But if you’re looking to join the mega-rich, UK Lotto is the European Lottery for you.

When looking at odds, the other element worth considering is your odds of winning any prize with a single bet. For example, while the odds of winning the French Lotto jackpot are 1 : 19,068,840, the odds of winning any prize with a single bet are quite low at just 1 : 6. This means that if you buy a 12 game Quicky in the French Lottery, on average your 12 games should win two prizes!

Here’s a list of the European lotteries with the best odds of winning any prize with your bet.

The interesting thing about this table is that while the Polish Mini Lotto offers the best odds of hitting the jackpot, it’s relegated to 10th spot in the European standings in terms of your single bet winning any division prize. This is because Polish Mini Lotto only offers a first, second and third prize, while French Lotto has nine winning divisions including its jackpot for you to snag a return for your bet.

The other surprise thing to note about this table is that Europe’s monster lotteries, EuroMillions and EuroJackpot, both fill the top 5 in terms of lotteries with great odds for you to win a minor division with your bet.

Considering EuroMillions has had jackpots reach a whopping $280 million, and the jackpot in EuroJackpot has climbed to $132 million, if you combine that with low odds of picking up at least a minor division prize, it’s always worth buying a bet in these larger than life lotteries.
