Euro Millions Winnings
The probability of scooping the Euro Millions jackpot is a remote one : seventy-six million but the likelihood of winning a money prize is a fairly decent one in twenty-four. When the “jackpot” is not won on a given lottery draw, it is carried forward to the following lotto draw that will result in an ever increasing jackpot value. Recent regulations added on the 9 February 2007 set the number of successive “roll-overs” to 11, with the “jackpot” rolled down to smaller prize levels on the 11th lottery draw if the prize is not collected.
The recent regulations also initiated European Super-Draw which come about twice yearly plus they offer jackpots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super-Draws is that the jackpot has to be won during the week of the lottery draw; this means, if there is no lotto ticket matching, all the numbers drawn and top prize will then be distributed to the lottery ticket bearer(s) in the succeeding winning prize level.
