The Odds of Winning the Euromillions and Does Anyone Stand a True Chance of Winning the Jackpot
The prospects of scooping the Euromillions jackpot is a remote one : 76 million but the probability of winning a money prize is a fairly decent 1 : twenty four. When the jackpot is not won on a given lottery draw, it is carried forward to the next week that will result in an ever increasing jackpot value. Recent regulations added on the 9/02/07 set the amount of successive roll-overs to eleven, with the jack-pot rolled out to lower prize levels on the 11th lottery draw when the prize is not won.
The Euro millions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it is ordinarily recognized, pools the ticket revenues of the nine partaking Euro countries giving a huge Euromillions jackpot. With the quantity of nations joining the EU on the increase, this will without question will lead to more states participating in the EuroMillions lottery. A growth in the number of people partaking in the euro millions will result in a prolonged increase of the already huge European Lottery jackpots.
The new rules also initiated European Lottery Super Draw which come about twice each year and 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 draw; this means, when there is no ticket matching, all the numbers drawn and the top prize will then be distributed to the lottery ticket holder(s) in the succeeding winning prize tier.
Each participant has to select 5 primary numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 9. During the lottery draw, 5 primary plus two lucky-star numbers are then selected at random from two draw machines containing numbered balls.
