The chances of scooping the European Lottery jackpot is a distant one : seventy six million but the chances of winning a cash prize is a somewhat decent 1 : twenty four. When the jackpot is not won on a given week, it is brought forward to the following lottery draw which results in an ever increasing jackpot prize. Recent rules added on the 9 February 2007 limit the number of successive roll-overs to 11, with the jack-pot rolling down to smaller value levels on the 11th lotto draw when the prize is not collected.
The euro millions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it’s commonly better-known, gathers the lotto ticket receipts of the 9 partaking Euro countries presenting a gigantic Euro Millions jackpot. With the number of nations joining the Euro on the increase, that will without a doubt lead to more states partaking in the Euro lotto. An increase in the number of people partaking in the Euro Lotto will lead to a continuing growth of the already whopping European Lottery jackpots.
The new rules also initiated Euro Lotto Super-Draw which go on twice annually plus they offer jack-pots 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 lotto draw; this means, when there is no lottery ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will then be allotted to the lotto ticket bearer(s) on the next winning prize level.
Each player must select five primary numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 Lucky Star numbers from one to nine. During the lotto draw, five main plus two lucky-star numbers are then selected at random from two draw machines containing numbered lotto balls.
