The probabilities of scooping up the Euro Millions jackpot is a distant one : 76 million but the possibility of winning a cash prize is a somewhat decent 1 : 24. When the jackpot is not won in a given week, it is brought forward to the following lottery draw that will result in an ever increasing jack-pot value. New rules brought in on the 09-Feb-07 set the amount of consecutive roll-overs to 11, with the jackpot rolled down to lower value levels in the eleventh lottery draw if the prize is not collected.
The Euromillions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it’s normally best-known, gathers the ticket receipts of the 9 partaking Euro countries delivering a super Euro Millions jack-pot. With the sum of countries joining the Euro on the increase, that will without a doubt lead to even more countries participating in the EuroMillions lotto. An increase in the number of people partaking in the European Lotto will result in a continued increase of the already tremendous euro millions jackpots.
The recent regulations also initiated European Lottery Super Draw which go on twice each year plus they offer jackpots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super Draws is that the jackpot must be won during the calendar week of the draw; this means, when there is no lottery ticket corresponding, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be distributed to the lotto ticket holder(s) on the succeeding winning prize tier.
Every participant must pick out five main numbers from one to fifty plus 2 Lucky Star numbers from one to nine. During the Euromillions draw five main plus two lucky star numbers are then picked out at random from 2 lottery draw machines containing numbered lotto balls.
