European Lottery Winnings

The probability of scooping up the Euro Lotto jack-pot is a far-off 1 in seventy six million but the odds of winning a cash prize is a fairly decent 1 in twenty-four. If the jackpot is not won on a given week, it is carried forward to the next lottery draw that will result in an ever increasing “jackpot” prize. Recent regulations brought in on the 09/02/2007 limit the amount of consecutive roll overs to 11, with the “jackpot” rolling out to smaller value levels in the 11th lotto draw when the prize is not won.

The recent regulations likewise initiated European “Super Draw” which come about twice each year plus they offer jackpots in the region of £100 million. The difference with Super-Draws is that the jack-pot has to be collected during the calendar week of the lotto draw; as a result, if there is no ticket matching, all the numbers drawn and the top prize will then be distributed to the lotto ticket bearer(s) in the next winning prize level.
