The Probability of Winning the Euro Millions and Does Any Player Stand a True Chance of Winning the Jackpot
The probabilities of scooping the Euro Lottery jackpot is a remote one in 76 million but the chances of winning a cash prize is a fairly decent one in 24. If the jackpot is not won on a given lotto draw, it is carried forward to the next week which results in an ever increasing jackpot value. Recent regulations added on the 9 February 2007 specify the number of successive roll overs to 11, with the jackpot rolling down to smaller value levels in the 11th draw if the prize is not collected.
The Euromillions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it is commonly best-known, pools the lotto ticket revenues of the 9 partaking Euro countries awarding a enormous Euro Millions jack-pot. With the number of nations joining the EU on the increase, that will without question will lead to new countries partaking in the Euro Millions lottery. An increase in the number of individuals partaking in the Euro millions lottery will lead to a continued increase of the already sizeable euro millions jackpots.
The new rules also initiated Euro Millions Super-Draw which happen twice annually and offer jack-pots 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; this means, if there is no lotto ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be allotted to the lotto ticket holder(s) in the succeeding winning prize level.
Every participant has to select 5 main numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 Lucky-star numbers from 1 to 9. During the Euromillions draw 5 primary plus 2 lucky star numbers are then picked out at random from two lotto draw machines containing numbered lotto balls.
