Euromillions Prizes
The prospects of scooping the Euro Lottery “jackpot” is a remote one : seventy six million but the chances of winning a money prize is a somewhat decent 1 in 24. If the “jackpot” is not won in a given week, it is carried over to the following lotto draw that will result in an ever increasing jack-pot prize. New rules brought in on the 9/02/2007 limit the number of successive roll-overs to eleven, with the jackpot rolling out to lower value levels succeeding the 11th lotto draw when the prize is not won.
The recent rules also initiated EuroMillions Super Draw which come about twice each year plus they offer “jackpots” in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with “Super Draws” is that the jack-pot has to be collected during the calendar week of the draw; as a result, when there is no lotto ticket corresponding, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will then be allotted to the ticket bearer(s) on the succeeding winning prize tier.
