The probability of scooping the Euro Lottery jackpot is a far-off one : seventy six million but the prospect of acquiring a money prize is a fairly decent one in twenty-four. When the jack-pot is not won on a given lotto draw, it is carried forward to the next lotto draw which results in an ever increasing jackpot value. New regulations brought in on the 09/02/07 specify the number of successive rollovers to 11, with the jack-pot rolling down to smaller value levels succeeding the eleventh lotto draw when the prize is not collected.
The euro millions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it’s commonly better-known, pools the lottery ticket receipts of the 9 partaking Euro countries showing a super Euro Millions jackpot. With the amount of countries joining the EU on the increase, that will without question will lead to more countries partaking in the European lotto. A growth in the amount of people partaking in the Euro millions lotto will lead to a lasting growth of the already large EuroMillions jackpots.
The new regulations also initiated EuroMillions Super Draw which go on twice each year plus they offer jack-pots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super Draws is that the jack-pot must be collected during the calendar week of the lottery draw; as a result, 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) on the succeeding winning prize tier.
Every participant has to select 5 primary numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 Lucky-star numbers from one to nine. During the lotto draw, five primary plus 2 lucky star numbers are then picked out at random from two draw machines containing numbered lotto balls.
