The biggest attraction of this number lottery is the jackpot, which reaches up to €2,400,000. Players just need to guess 10 correct numbers out of 80 in a single column, and the prize is theirs. A system bet can also help increase their chances of success, although it raises the price of the betting ticket. If players match the drawn numbers, they win in one of the prize tiers. In addition, they can also join the additional game Šance milion, the Royal game, or get an Extra win.
In this lottery, players decide their potential winnings themselves, because they choose how many numbers they want to bet on. In one column, they can fill in 1–10 numbers from 1 to 80. A separate bet of €0.40–€8 can be placed for each column. In addition to a random pick, where the system selects the required number of numbers for them, they also have access to a system bet, which generates all possible combinations from the selected numbers. The draw takes place twice a day at 12:30 and 20:30.
Players receive the Extra win if they bet on 6–10 numbers and none of them are among the drawn ones. In the Royal game, they choose one number they believe will be drawn first. However, this bet doubles the ticket price. In Šance milion, the numbers are not chosen by the players but are automatically generated by the system during online betting or pre-printed on a paper ticket if they bet at a branch. The validity of the ticket can be extended by purchasing a subscription.
The potential winnings depend on how many numbers are bet on, how many of them are among the drawn numbers, and the bet amount. To reach the highest possible win, which multiplies their stake by 200,000, players must correctly guess all 10 numbers. If they also choose one number as a Royal number for the Royal win, then in the case of a main win, their bet is multiplied by 300,000, as shown in the table listing the winnings based on placed bets and their multipliers with and without the Royal game.

Players win their extra win if they place a bet on 6–10 numbers and none of them appear among the drawn numbers. In that case, they receive back the base amount of their bet — essentially, they get their money back. Winnings in the additional game Šance milion are fixed and depend on how many of the generated or pre-printed numbers match the winning ones, as shown below.
| Prize tier | Number of matching numbers | Win |
| 1st | 6 | €40,000 |
| 2nd | 5 | €2,000 |
| 3rd | 4 | €200 |
| 4th | 3 | €20 |
| 5th | 2 | €5 |
| 6th | 1 | €1 |
The chances of players hitting the main prize depend on whether they participate in the additional Royal game or not. In general, the more numbers they have to guess, the lower the probability of winning, which is clearly shown in the table below. However, from the complete history of drawn numbers, players can create their own analyses and adjust their bets accordingly. The most frequently drawn number is 18, and the most common Royal number is 2. On the other hand, number 27 appears the least in draws, while number 10 is most often drawn first.

The method of collecting winnings depends on whether the player placed their ticket online or at a branch (sales location). In the first case, they can collect up to €200 per 24 hours in cash at any sales location with a Sazka terminal. Winnings up to €20,000 are transferred cashless at selected locations (limited to once per week), and higher winnings are automatically credited to the player’s account, from which they can transfer any amount to their bank account at any time.
If the bet was placed at a branch, winnings up to €40 are paid out at any branch, and up to €2,000 after prior arrangement. Winnings up to €10,000 are paid at selected Sazka branches by prior arrangement and only cashless. For higher amounts, winners must contact Sazka headquarters by phone to arrange a payout date and method.
The highest ever win in the game’s history was a full €2,000,000. Unfortunately, no one has repeated this, and since 2015 the highest prize was won in the Olomouc Region, amounting to €1,200,000. The second highest prize in this period was won in the South Moravian Region, where a lucky winner walked away with €400,000. The most millionaires, however, are in the Central Bohemian Region, where €3,335,000 has been paid out among 288 players since 2015.
