Lottery Tickets! Is Playing a Waste of Time? The Chances of Winning the Euro Lottery and Does Anyone Stand a True Chance of Succeeding
The prospects of scooping up the Euro Millions jackpot is a far-off one : seventy six million but the probability of winning a cash prize is a somewhat decent one : twenty-four. When the jack-pot is not won on a given week, it is carried forward to the following lottery draw that will result in an ever increasing jack-pot prize. New rules brought in on the 9/02/2007 specify the number of consecutive roll-overs to 11, with the jackpot rolling out to smaller value levels in the eleventh lottery draw if the prize is not collected.
The euromillions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it is usually well-known, pools the lottery ticket receipts of the nine partaking European countries awarding a massive Euromillions jack-pot. With the sum of countries joining the Euro on the increase, this will without question will lead to new states participating in the Euro Millions lotto. An increase in the number of individuals partaking in the Euro Millions lottery will lead to a lasting growth of the already tremendous Euro Lotto jackpots.
The new rules also initiated EuroMillions 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 collected during the week of the draw; as a result, when there is no ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will then be allotted to the lottery ticket bearer(s) in the succeeding winning prize tier.
Every player has to choose five main numbers from one to fifty plus two Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 9. During the lotto draw, five primary plus two lucky star numbers are then picked out at random from 2 lottery draw machines containing numbered balls.
