    2. pay any taxes due on Winnings;

    3. not be a person on the Excluded Lists;

    4. at the time of placing a Bet not be a director, officer, or employee (or their spouse or dependant) of EU Lotto or the Operator or of one of the group companies or a contractor or service provider of any company within the group of EU Lotto;

    5. Acknowledge that instructions to place or the apparent placement of a Bet after the submission deadline and/or after the start of a specific draw or a draw that has actually occurred will not be valid, irrespective of any automatic confirmation that may be generated or irrespective of a wrong deadline displayed on the Operator’s Website;

    6. Acknowledge that the jackpot values displayed for lotteries offered on the Operator’s Website are approximate estimates of what the jackpot will be using certain assumptions, such as the current or future jackpot being won or rolled over. The value is an estimate and is not legally binding and EU Lotto and the Operator are not liable for any inaccuracies between the estimated jackpot and the actual jackpot;

    7. Acknowledge that if a lottery draw does not take place or no draw result is published or officially announced or the bets could not be accepted for a particular draw, all valid Bets on that Betting Event will stand for the rescheduled draw or the next available relevant draw; other than in respect of valid Bets placed on (i) Austrian Lotto, Austrian Joker, Spiel77, El Gordo Primitiva, Summer Lottery, El Niño, French Lotto, Irish Lotto, Irish Lotto +1, Irish Lotto +2, Irish Lotto n Win, Polish Lotto, Polish Lotto+, Swiss Joker, Mark Six, Keno 24/7, KeNow, Cash4Life, German Keno, GlücksSpirale, MULTI, Swedish Lotto Plus 1, Swedish Lotto Plus 2, Swedish Joker Plus, Drömvinsten Plus or Mexico Melate, where all valid Bets will stand and the Underlying Lottery will be replaced with a lottery-style draw using the RiNG technology that will take place at the same time as the official and/or state-run lottery draw was scheduled to take place; or (ii) SuperEnalotto, where all valid Bets will stand for the draw of SuperEnalotto GO (using the certified random number generator “RiNG”) that takes place either at the same time as the original draw or, if none, the next available SuperEnalotto GO draw. The deadline for submission of Bets will be displayed on the Operator’s Website. Instructions to place or the apparent placement of a Bet after the submission deadline and/or after the start of a specific draw or a draw that has actually occurred will not be valid, irrespective of any automatic confirmation that may be generated or irrespective of a wrong deadline displayed on the Operator’s Website.

  1. Acknowledge where these Supplemental Game Terms are published in several languages, the English version of these Supplemental Game Terms will supersede and take precedence over any conflicting elements with other languages;

  1. WINNINGS FOR BETS ON LOTTERIES

A. Payment of Winnings. In the event that a Bet is a Winning Bet:

    1. a calculation of the total monetary value of the Winnings will be carried out;

    2. if required the Operator will request the completion of certain Player verification tasks. In particular, all tier 1 payouts in respect of Bets on the outcome of Betting Events are subject to enhanced player verification, third party audits on win validation and payout by the underlaying insurers; and,

    3. after completion of such verification tasks, assuming no valid issues that may have been identified remain unresolved, the Winnings will be made available to the Operator. For the avoidance of doubt, EU Lotto shall have no liability to the Player in respect of the Winnings.

    4. Winnings in the El Gordo de Verano, KeNow, Cash4Life, WorldMillions, Keno 24/7, Bitcoin Lottery and all EU Lotto games based on the RiNG and Bitcoin Lottery are paid out as published on the Operator’s Website and independent of the Winnings published by the Underlying Lottery Operator.The total of all Winnings payable by EU Lotto per Prize Category for these certain draws must never exceed the numbers as set out below. If it the numbers are exceeded, Winnings are divided among the winners; KeNow: 5,000,000,00 EUR; WorldMillions: such amount chosen and advertised by the Operator; Keno24/7: 10,000,000,00 EUR (10,000,000.00 GBP for GBP players); GlücksSpirale GO: Monthly payments of 50,000.00 EUR or 4,800,000.00 EUR as the sum of all future monthly payments; Spiel77 GO: 10,000,000.00 EUR; Super6 GO: 1,000,000.00 EUR.

Payout of Prizes in MegaMillions and PowerBall

As is common with MUSL Mega Millions and Powerball, EU Lotto may also pay out the Winnings in Prize Category 1 over 30 years (the “Annuity Option”). If EU Lotto chooses the Annuity Option, the first payment will be made as soon as possible after the draw, with the next 29 payments at one-year intervals. The level of payments is calculated such that the payments rise by the percentage set by MUSL from year to year until the full sum has been paid out. If EU Lotto chooses the option to pay out Winnings in one lump sum (“Cash Option”), the Winnings after withholdings are discounted, as it is done in MUSL Mega Millions and Powerball. The discount rate is 40%, i.e. the lump sum is 60% of the Annuity Option value. It is in EU Lotto’s discretion to choose the payout plan.

Withholdings for Prizes in MegaMillions and PowerBall:

EU Lotto retains 38% withholdings of prizes in the highest three prize categories because it is intended to put Players in similar economic position as if they had played the underlying lottery.

Winnings in a Type A Prize Category. The Winnings payable in respect of each Bet in a Type A Prize Category (as defined in the table above), will depend on the number of the Underlying Lottery Winning Tickets in that Prize Category, the number of EU Lotto Winning Bets in that Prize Category, the payable Prize by the Underlying Lottery Operator for the Underlying Lottery Winning Tickets in that Prize Category as well as the Underlying Lottery Jackpot in that Prize Category. EU Lotto calculates the Winnings in a Type A Prize Category on the basis of the amount of aggregate stakes published by the Underlying Lottery Operator as well as the distribution to that Jackpot Prize Category or on the basis of the jackpot published on the Website of the Underlying Lottery Operator for that Prize Category of the relevant draw of the Underlying Lottery.

Only one EU Lotto Winning Bet in a Type A Prize Category

If there is only one EU Lotto Winning Bet in a Type A Prize Category, the Winnings payable in respect of this EU Lotto Winning Bet are calculated as:

Winnings = Underlying Lottery Jackpot in that Type A Prize Category / (Underlying Lottery Jackpot Winning Tickets in that Type A Prize Category + 1)

Example 1: There is only one EU Lotto Winning Bet in the Type A Prize Category and no Underlying Lottery Winning Ticket has been announced by the Underlying Lottery Operator in the Type A Prize Category in respect of an Underlying Lottery Jackpot in the Type A Prize Category of 90,000,000.00 EUR. The Winnings payable in respect of that single EU Lotto Winning Bet amount to 90,000,000.00 EUR.

Example 2: There is only one EU Lotto Winning Bet in the Type A Prize Category and two Underlying Lottery Jackpot Winning Tickets have been announced by the Underlying Lottery Operator in the Type A Prize Category in respect of an Underlying Lottery Jackpot in the Type A Prize Category of 90,000,000.00 EUR. The Winnings payable in respect of that single EU Lotto Winning Bet amount to 30,000,000.00 EUR.

More than one EU Lotto Winning Bet in the Type A Prize Category

If there is more than one EU Lotto Winning Bet in the Type A Prize Category, the Winnings payable in respect of the EU Lotto Winning Bets in the Type A Prize Category are calculated based on a “Share Model“, consisting of three steps.

Step 1 – Calculation of the number of shares:

Number of shares = Number of Underlying Lottery Jackpot Winning Tickets in that Prize Category + Number of EU Lotto Winning Bets in that Prize Category

Step 2 – Calculation of Size of each share:

Size of 1 share = Underlying Lottery Jackpot in that Prize Category / Number of shares

Step 3 – Allocation of Winnings:

1 share per EU Lotto Winning Bet in the Type A Prize Category

Example 3: There are two EU Lotto Winning Bets in the Type A Prize Category and one Underlying Lottery Jackpot Winning Ticket has been announced by the Underlying Lottery Operator in the Type A Prize Category in respect of a Underlying Lottery Jackpot in the Type A Prize Category of 90,000,000.00 EUR. There are three payout shares, with a size of 30,000,000.00 EUR each. The Winnings payable in respect of each EU Lotto Winning Bet in the Type A Prize Category amounts to 30,000,000.00 EUR.

Winnings in a Type B Prize Category. The Winnings payable in respect of each EU Lotto Winning Bet in a Type B Prize Category (as defined in the table above, for example Prize Category 2 in EuroMillions) will depend on the number of the Underlying Lottery Winning Tickets in that Prize Category, the number of EU Lotto Winning Bets in that Prize Category, the payable Prize by the Underlying Lottery Operator for the Underlying Lottery Winning Tickets in that Prize Category as well as the Underlying Lottery Jackpot in that Prize Category. EU Lotto calculates the Winnings in a Type B Prize Category on the basis of the amount of aggregate stakes published by the Underlying Lottery Operator as well as the distribution to that Jackpot Prize Category or on the basis of the jackpot published on the Website of the Underlying Lottery Operator for that Prize Category of the relevant draw of the Underlying Lottery.

Only one EU Lotto Winning Bet in a Type B Prize Category

If there is only one EU Lotto Winning Bet in a Type B Prize Category, the Winnings payable in respect of this EU Lotto Winning Bet are calculated as:

Winnings = Underlying Lottery Jackpot in that Type B Prize Category / (Underlying Lottery Jackpot Winning Tickets in that Type B Prize Category + 1)

Example 1: There is only one EU Lotto Winning Bet in a Type B Prize Category and no Underlying Lottery Winning Ticket has been announced by the Underlying Lottery Operator in that Type B Prize Category in respect of an Underlying Lottery Jackpot in a Type B Prize Category of 9,000,000.00 EUR. The Winnings payable in respect of that single EU Lotto Winning Bet amount to 9,000,000.00 EUR.

Example 2: There is only one EU Lotto Winning Bet in a Type B Prize Category and two Underlying Lottery Jackpot Winning Tickets have been announced by the Underlying Lottery Operator in that Type B Prize Category in respect of a Underlying Lottery Jackpot in a Type B Prize Category of 9,000,000.00 EUR. The Winnings payable in respect of that single EU Lotto Winning Bet amount to 3,000,000.00 EUR.

More than one EU Lotto Winning Bet in a Type B Prize Category

If there is more than one EU Lotto Winning Bet in a Type B Prize Category, the Winnings payable in respect of these EU Lotto Winning Bets are calculated based on a Share Model, consisting of three steps:

Step 1 – Calculation of the number of shares:

Number of shares = Number of Underlying Lottery Winning Tickets in that Prize Category + Number of EU Lotto Winning Bets in that Prize Category

Step 2 – Calculation of Size of each share:

Size of 1 share = Underlying Lottery Jackpot / Number of shares

Step 3 – Allocation of Winnings:

1 share per EU Lotto Winning Bet in that Prize Category

Example 3: There are two EU Lotto Winning Bets in a Type B Prize Category and one Underlying Lottery Winning Ticket has been announced by the Underlying Lottery Operator in that Type B Prize Category in respect of an Underlying Lottery Jackpot in a Type B Prize Category of 3,000,000.00 EUR. There are three payout shares, with a size of 1,000,000.00 EUR each. The Winnings payable in respect of each EU Lotto Winning Bet in that Prize Category amount to 1,000,000.00 EUR.

Winnings in a Type C Prize Category. The Winnings to be paid out in respect of each EU Lotto Winning Bet in a Type C Prize Category (as defined in the table above, for example Prize Category 4 in EuroMillions) shall be the amount of the Prize announced by the Underlying Lottery Operator in respect of an Underlying Lottery Winning Ticket in the respective Prize Category. If the Underlying Lottery Operator has not announced a Prize in the respective Prize Category for the relevant draw of the Underlying Lottery, the Winnings payable in respect of each EU Lotto Winning Bet in that Prize Category will be calculated on the basis of the aggregate amounts paid in for the relevant draw of the Underlying Lottery announced by the Underlying Lottery Operator and its allocation to the winning Prize Categories.

Payout of Prizes from Prize Categories to other Prize Categories. The above regulations apply based on the assumption that there was no payout of Prizes from one Prize Category to another Prize Category , regardless of whether the rules of the Underlying Lottery indicate otherwise. Therefore, in the event Prizes of a higher Prize Category are added to a lower Prize Category, due to either (i) no Underlying Lottery Winning Tickets in a Prize Category for one draw, (ii) no Underlying Lottery Winning Tickets in the higher Prize Category for a number of subsequent draws or (iii) to a jackpot cap in respect of the higher Prize Category, this will not be taken into account by the Operator. The Operator will only payout the Prize originally allocated to that lower Prize Category based on the stakes published by the Underlaying Lottery and the Prize allocation table of that lottery.

For all games, the Operator has the possibility to announce a SpecialJackpot under its sole discretion. In this case, the SpecialJackpot sum announced replaces any Underlying Lottery Jackpot in that Type A Prize Category.

One Prize Category. Only one Prize Category can be won per Bet, which will be the highest of the available Prize Categories achieved by, and relevant to, that Bet. A Combo Bet can win in more than one Prize Category, based on the separate Bets it is made of.

Winnings are calculated and credited in EUR. The exchange rate used is the spot rate of exchange (the closing midpoint) for that currency into EUR on the respective draw date as published on oanda.com or (if oanda.com is not available) the European Central Bank euro foreign exchange reference rate (ECB rate) for the respective draw date. This also applies for annuity payments.

Displayed Information. EU Lotto will not be liable for any mistakes in respect to the information displayed.
