Gimmee the Likelihood of Succeeding on the Euro Millions and Does Anyone Stand a True Chance of Winning the Jackpot
The chances of scooping up the Euromillions jackpot is a distant one in seventy-six million but the probability of acquiring a money prize is a fairly decent one in 24. When the jackpot is not won in a given lotto draw, it is carried over to the next lotto draw which results in an ever increasing jackpot value. Recent rules added on the 09.02.2007 set the number of successive roll-overs to eleven, with the jack-pot rolled out to lower value levels succeeding the 11th lotto draw when the prize is not won.
The Euro millions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it is usually acknowledged, pools the lotto ticket receipts of the 9 partaking Euro countries giving a enormous European Lottery jackpot. With the number of countries joining the Euro on the increase, that will without question will lead to new countries partaking in the Euro Millions lotto. A growth in the amount of people partaking in the Euro millions lotto will result in a lasting increase of the already sizeable European Lottery jackpots.
The new rules also initiated European Lottery Super Draw which go on twice each year 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 calendar week of the lotto draw; as a result, if there is no lottery ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be allotted to the lottery ticket holder(s) in the succeeding winning prize tier.
Each participant must pick out 5 main numbers from one to fifty and 2 Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 9. During the EUROMILLIONS draw five main plus 2 lucky-star numbers are then selected at random from two lottery draw machines containing numbered balls.
