| Game | Top-prize odds | Any-prize odds | Ticket | Cost per unit of jackpot chance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spiel 77 | 1 in 10,000,000 | — | €2.50 | 25,000,000 EUR |

Shorter odds are not automatically better value — shorter-odds games pay smaller top prizes. Cost per unit of chance (price × odds) is the cleanest single comparison.
Lottery winnings from licensed German lotteries are tax-free — prizes are not treated as taxable income, so winners receive the full amount. Interest and investment returns earned on the winnings afterwards are subject to normal German taxes.
State lottery companies do not publish a winner's identity without consent.
Generous by international standards — typically until the end of the third year after the draw for state lottery prizes.
