The chances of scooping the Euro Lotto jackpot is a distant one in seventy-six million but the odds of winning a money prize is a somewhat decent one in twenty-four. If the jackpot is not won in a given week, it is brought forward to the next lotto draw which results in an ever increasing jackpot prize. Recent rules added on the 9/02/07 define the number of successive rollovers to eleven, with the jackpot rolling down to smaller value levels in the 11th lottery draw if the prize is not won.
The recent rules also initiated EuroMillions “Super Draw” which happen twice yearly and offer jackpots in the region of £100 million. The difference with Super Draws is that the jackpot has to be collected during the week of the lottery draw; as a result, if there is no ticket corresponding, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will then be allotted to the lotto ticket bearer(s) on the next winning prize tier.
