The Probability of Winning the Euro Millions and Does Anybody Stand a Real Chance of Winning the Jackpot

Published on April 17, 2009

The chances of scooping up the Euromillions jack-pot is a far-off 1 : seventy-six million but the chances of winning a money prize is a fairly decent one : 24. If the jackpot is not won on a given lottery draw, it is carried forward to the next lottery draw that will result in an ever increasing jackpot value. Recent regulations added on the 9/02/2007 set the amount of successive roll overs to 11, with the jackpot rolled down to smaller value levels succeeding the 11th lottery draw if the prize is not won.

The Euromillions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it is usually renowned, gathers the ticket revenues of the 9 partaking Euro countries showing a enormous Euro Lotto jackpot. With the sum of countries joining the EU on the increase, this will without a doubt lead to more states participating in the European lotto. A growth in the number of individuals partaking in the EURO MILLIONS will result in a continued growth of the already large Euro Lottery jackpots.

The new rules also initiated Euro Millions Super Draw which go on twice annually and offer jackpots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super Draws is that the jack-pot has to be won during the week of the lotto draw; as a result, when there is no lottery ticket matching, all the numbers drawn and top prize will be allotted to the ticket holder(s) on the succeeding winning prize tier.

Each and every player has to select five main numbers from one to fifty and 2 Lucky-star numbers from one to nine. During the lottery draw, five primary and 2 lucky star numbers are then picked out at random from 2 draw machines containing numbered lottery balls.
