Euro Lottery Winnings
The probabilities of scooping the Euro Lottery “jackpot” is a far-off 1 : 76 million but the chances of acquiring a money prize is a somewhat decent 1 : twenty-four. If the “jackpot” is not won on a given lotto draw, it is carried over to the following lotto draw that will result in an ever increasing jack-pot value. New regulations brought in on the 09 February 2007 limit the amount of consecutive rollovers to 11, with the “jackpot” rolled down to smaller value levels succeeding the eleventh lotto draw if the prize is not collected.
The recent rules also initiated European Super Draw which go on twice each year and 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, if there is no lotto ticket corresponding, all the numbers drawn and top prize will be distributed to the ticket bearer(s) on the next winning prize tier.
