Euro Lottery Winnings
The chances of scooping the Euro Millions jackpot is a far-off one in 76 million but the odds of winning a cash prize is a somewhat decent 1 in twenty-four. If the “jackpot” is not won on a given week, it is carried over to the following lottery draw that will result in an ever increasing jackpot value. Recent regulations brought in on the 9/02/2007 limit the number of consecutive roll-overs to eleven, with the “jackpot” rolled down to lower prize levels in the 11th draw if the prize is not won.
The new regulations also initiated Euro Millions “Super Draw” which happen twice yearly and offer jackpots in the region of £100 million. The difference with Super-Draws is that the jack-pot has to be won during the calendar week of the lotto draw; as a result, when there is no ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be distributed to the ticket bearer(s) in the succeeding winning prize tier.
