The first prize is common and is financed by a certain Euro amount for each compnation played. The lower prizes are national and locally decided. This arrangement is different from Euromillions where all prize categories are common.
The issue is to select 6 numbers which can be any integer from 1 to 48, called a combination. During the draw, 6 main and 2 additional numbers are drawn from the source of 48 numbers. The first prize is won with 6 correct numbers and the remaining prizes are decided on.
