The Prospect of Succeeding on the Euromillions and Does Anybody Stand a Real Chance of Winning the Jack-pot
The prospects of scooping the Euromillions jack-pot is a far-off one in seventy-six million but the odds of winning a cash prize is a somewhat decent 1 in twenty-four. When the jackpot is not won in a given lotto draw, it is carried forward to the following lotto draw that will result in an ever increasing jackpot value. New regulations added on the 09-Feb-07 set the amount of successive rollovers to 11, with the jack-pot rolling down to lower prize levels in the 11th draw if the prize is not won.
The Euro millions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it’s commonly acknowledged, pools the ticket receipts of the 9 partaking European countries delivering a immense Euromillions jack-pot. With the number of countries joining the EU on the increase, this will without a doubt lead to even more states participating in the EuroMillions lottery. A growth in the amount of people partaking in the Euro Millions will lead to a continued growth of the already huge European Lottery jackpots.
The recent rules also initiated European Lottery Super Draw which happen twice yearly and offer jackpots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super-Draws is that the jackpot has to be won during the calendar week of the lottery draw; this means, when there is no lottery ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be distributed to the lotto ticket bearer(s) on the next winning prize tier.
Every participant has to select 5 main numbers from one to fifty and two Lucky-star numbers from 1 to 9. During the draw, 5 primary plus two lucky star numbers are then selected at random from two draw machines containing numbered balls.
