The probabilities of scooping the Euro Millions jackpot is a far-off 1 in seventy six million but the chances of acquiring a cash prize is a fairly decent one : 24. When the jack-pot is not won on a given lotto draw, it is brought forward to the following week that will result in an ever increasing jack-pot value. Recent regulations added on the 9/02/07 specify the number of consecutive roll-overs to eleven, with the jackpot rolling down to lower value levels succeeding the eleventh lottery draw if the prize is not collected.

The Euromillions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it is ordinarily renowned, gathers the lottery ticket revenues of the nine partaking Euro countries giving a whopping Euro Lottery jackpot. With the number of nations joining the Euro on the increase, this will without a doubt lead to even more states partaking in the European lotto. A growth in the amount of people partaking in the Euro Millions lottery will lead to a continued increase of the already huge Euro Lotto jackpots.

The new regulations also initiated European Lottery Super Draw which go on twice each year and offer jack-pots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super-Draws is that the jackpot must be collected during the calendar week of the draw; this means, if there is no lotto ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will then be distributed to the lotto ticket bearer(s) in the next winning prize tier.

Each and every player must select five primary numbers from one to fifty and two Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 9. During the euro millions draw 5 main and 2 lucky-star numbers are then chosen at random from 2 lotto draw machines containing numbered lottery balls.
