The chances of scooping up the Euro millions jackpot is a remote 1 : 76 million but the probability of winning a money prize is a somewhat decent 1 : twenty four. If the jackpot is not won on a given lotto draw, it is carried forward to the next lotto draw which results in an ever increasing jack-pot prize. Recent regulations brought in on the 09-Feb-07 define the number of consecutive rollovers to 11, with the jack-pot rolled out to smaller value levels on the eleventh draw if the prize is not won.
The Euromillions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it’s usually recognized, gathers the ticket receipts of the 9 partaking European countries awarding a huge Euro Millions jackpot. With the quantity of countries joining the EU on the increase, this will without a doubt lead to even more states partaking in the European lotto. A growth in the number of people partaking in the euro lottery numbers will lead to a lasting increase of the already enormous EuroMillions jackpots.
The recent rules also initiated European Lottery Super Draw which come about 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 collected during the calendar week of the lottery draw; as a result, if there is no ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will then be distributed to the lotto ticket bearer(s) on the succeeding winning prize level.
Each and every participant has to choose 5 main numbers from 1 to 50 plus two Lucky Star numbers from one to nine. During the lottery draw, 5 main and 2 lucky-star numbers are then chosen at random from 2 lotto draw machines containing numbered balls.
