Win for Life Classico gives you the chance to win a regular income of up to €3,000 a month for 20 years, as well as a host of other cash prizes.
To play Win for Life Classico, you need to select ten numbers from 1 to 20 in the first panel on your playslip, and then one number from 1 to 20 in the second panel. Should you desire, you can choose a number in the second panel that you also have selected in the first panel.
The next step is to decide on your wager amount. The minimum bet is €1 per play, or spend €2 to double your chance of winning a prize.
It is also possible to play an integrated systems entry, selecting up to 14 numbers in the first panel, creating as many as 1,001 combinations to enter into the draw.
Draws take place every day on the hour, with the first at 07:00 CET until the last draw of the day at 23:00 CET. You can play online or at a retailer, and tickets are automatically submitted into the next available draw.
You win a prize by matching at least seven of the first ten numbers drawn. If you played the €2 bet option, you can also win a prize if you don’t match any numbers!

The Win for Life Classico jackpot is €3,000 a month for 20 years, which works out at €2,500 per month after tax. Grand Prize winners also claim all the money in the Match 10 or 0 prize pool as a one-time cash payment. This prize pool increases in value for every draw it’s not won (like a rolling jackpot!), as opposed to the other prize categories where all the money in the pool is awarded for every draw. As a result, the Match 10 or 0 prize is often worth over €10,000!
The following tables list all the different prizes available depending on your bet, along with the odds of winning and approximate prize amounts.
