How to play TZOKER
Pick 5 numbers and 1 Joker
On each column you mark 5 numbers from 1 to 45 and 1 Joker number from 1 to 20. The Joker number is drawn separately from the 5 main numbers.
Decide whether to play a system
Full systems let you pick more than 5 main numbers or more Joker numbers, generating every combination as columns. Reduced systems cover fewer combinations at a lower cost; they do not retain the coverage of a full system.
Pay and keep your ticket
Each column costs €1.00. Tickets are available at OPAP stores and online, with multiple-draw options as specified on the ticket.
Wait for the draw
Draws take place every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at 22:00 in the evening, broadcast live. Entries close at 21:30 on draw days.
Check your ticket
TZOKER has 9 prize categories: you win with as little as 1 correct number plus the Joker. The 1st-category jackpot (5+1) is shared among winners, while the other categories pay fixed amounts.
TZOKER categories, prizes and odds
All TZOKER prize categories with the current fixed amounts and the odds of each. The jackpot starts at €1,000,000 and grows with every draw without a winner.
| Category | Correct pick | Prize | Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | 5 + 1 Joker | Jackpot (from €1,000,000) | 1 in 24,435,180 |
| 2nd | 5 | €100,000 | 1 in 1,286,062 |
| 3rd | 4 + 1 Joker | €2,500 | 1 in 122,176 |
| 4th | 4 | €50 | 1 in 6,430 |
| 5th | 3 + 1 Joker | €50 | 1 in 3,133 |
| 6th | 3 | €2 | 1 in 165 |
| 7th | 2 + 1 Joker | €2 | 1 in 247 |
| 8th | 1 + 1 Joker | €1.50 | 1 in 53 |
| 9th | 2 | €1 | 1 in 13 |
Categories 2 to 9 have predetermined amounts. The 2nd category has a €2,000,000 distribution cap: above 20 successes that amount is shared equally. Odds are rounded combinatorial calculations per simple column, not a prediction for the next draw.
How the TZOKER jackpot works
The jackpot starts at €1,000,000. When the first category has no success, its amount rolls over to the next draw. Check the announcement for the particular draw to find the actual available amount.
Example: if the available jackpot is €3,000,000 and there are three 5+1 successes, each share is €1,000,000 before any deductions. Each winner does not receive the entire advertised jackpot.
Systems, multi-draws and online play
Full-system example: 6 main numbers with one Joker generate 6 distinct columns, costing €6 in total. More columns increase coverage and cost without guaranteeing a win.
The retail slip has up to 6 selection panels, while online play has up to 12. Check the registered columns, date and draw number before comparing results.
How large winnings are paid out
LuckyPlay does not validate or pay tickets. Keep the registered ticket and check the official provider’s current payment terms. Table amounts are category prizes, not confirmation of the net amount payable.
