The Odds of Succeeding on the Euro Lotto and Does Any Player Stand a Real Chance of Winning the Jack-pot
The probability of scooping the European Lottery jackpot is a far-off 1 in seventy six million but the possibility of winning a cash prize is a fairly decent one : twenty-four. When the jack-pot is not won in a given week, it is carried forward to the next lottery draw which results in an ever increasing jackpot prize. New rules added on the 09/02/2007 specify the number of successive rollovers to 11, with the jackpot rolled down to lower value levels on the eleventh draw when the prize is not won.
The Euromillions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it’s usually recognized, pools the ticket receipts of the 9 partaking Euro countries giving a gigantic European Lottery jack-pot. With the number of countries joining the EU on the increase, this will without a doubt lead to even more states participating in the European lotto. An increase in the amount of individuals partaking in the Euro millions lottery will result in a lasting increase of the already whopping European Lottery jackpots.
The new rules also initiated European Lottery Super-Draw which go on 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 collected during the week of the lottery draw; this means, when there is no lotto ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be allotted to the ticket holder(s) in the succeeding winning prize level.
Each player has to choose five primary numbers from one to fifty and 2 Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 9. During the Euro Millions draw 5 primary plus two lucky star numbers are then picked out at random from two lottery draw machines containing numbered lottery balls.
