The EuroJackpot game rules have changed since the game began in 2012. Previously, the jackpot could not roll over more than 12 times, but this was found to be too limiting, and in February 2013 the rollover limit was removed and replaced with a Jackpot Cap of €90 million. The matrix for the Euro numbers has also changed, expanding from 1-8 to 1-10 in October 2014.
In March 2022 the game rules changed again. An extra draw day was added on Tuesday, the jackpot cap was set to a €120 million and the matrix for the Euro Number expanded from 10-12.
