Q. How Would You Play The European Lottery

Euro Lotto Prizes

The chances of scooping up the European Lottery jackpot is a distant 1 in seventy-six million but the prospect of acquiring a cash prize is a fairly decent one : twenty-four. When the “jackpot” is not won in a given lotto draw, it is carried over to the next lottery draw that will result in an ever increasing “jackpot” prize. New rules brought in on the 09.02.2007 specify the number of successive roll-overs to eleven, with the jack-pot rolling down to smaller value levels succeeding the eleventh lottery draw if the prize is not won.

The new regulations also initiated Euro Millions “Super Draw” which come about twice annually plus they 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; this means, when there is no ticket matching, all the numbers drawn and top prize will then be allotted to the lotto ticket bearer(s) in the next winning prize tier.
