The probabilities of scooping the Euromillions jackpot is a far-off 1 : seventy-six million but the probability of winning a cash prize is a fairly decent one : 24. When the jack-pot is not won on a given week, it is carried over to the next lotto draw that will result in an ever increasing jackpot value. Recent rules added on the 09/02/07 limit the amount of consecutive roll-overs to eleven, with the jackpot rolled out to lower prize levels succeeding the eleventh lotto draw if the prize is not won.
The Euromillions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it’s normally known, gathers the ticket revenues of the nine partaking European countries presenting a super Euromillions jackpot. With the quantity of countries joining the Euro on the increase, this will without a doubt lead to new states participating in the European lottery. A growth in the amount of people partaking in the Euro Lottery will result in a continuing growth of the already immense EuroMillions jackpots.
The recent regulations also initiated Euro Millions Super Draw which happen twice each year 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 lottery draw; this means, if there is no lottery ticket corresponding, all the numbers drawn and top prize will then be distributed to the lotto ticket bearer(s) on the succeeding winning prize level.
Each participant has to choose 5 primary numbers from 1 to 50 plus two Lucky Star numbers from one to nine. During the Euro Millions draw five primary plus 2 lucky-star numbers are then picked out at random from two draw machines containing numbered lottery balls.
