The Likelihood of Winning the European Lottery and Does Anyone Stand a Real Chance of Winning the Jackpot
The chances of scooping up the Euro Millions jackpot is a far-off one : 76 million but the possibility of acquiring a money prize is a fairly decent 1 : twenty four. When the jackpot is not won on a given lottery draw, it is carried forward to the next week that will result in an ever increasing jackpot value. Recent rules brought in on the 9th of February 2007 specify the number of successive roll-overs to 11, with the jack-pot rolled down to smaller value levels in the eleventh draw if the prize is not won.
The euro millions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it is usually best-known, pools the ticket revenues of the nine partaking European countries delivering a tremendous Euro Millions jackpot. With the number of nations joining the Euro on the increase, that will without question will lead to new states participating in the Euro Millions lotto. An increase in the number of individuals partaking in the Euro Lotto will result in a prolonged growth of the already large Euro Lotto jackpots.
The new rules also initiated Euro Lotto Super Draw which happen twice annually and 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 lottery draw; this means, when there is no lotto ticket corresponding, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will then be distributed to the lotto ticket bearer(s) in the succeeding winning prize tier.
Each participant has to select five main numbers from one to fifty plus two Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 9. During the draw, 5 main and two lucky-star numbers are then picked out at random from 2 lotto draw machines containing numbered lotto balls.
