The Euro millions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it is commonly known, gathers the lottery ticket receipts of the 9 partaking European countries presenting a super Euromillions “jackpot”.

Euro Lottery Winnings
The probability of scooping up the Euro Lottery jack-pot is a distant 1 in 76 million but the prospect of acquiring a cash prize is a somewhat decent one in twenty four. When the jack-pot is not won in a given week, it is brought forward to the following week that will result in an ever increasing jackpot value. New rules added on the 09/02/07 specify the amount of consecutive rollovers to 11, with the jackpot rolled out to lower prize levels on the eleventh lottery draw if the prize is not won.
The new rules also initiated Euro Millions Super Draw which happen twice yearly and offer jackpots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with “Super Draws” is that the jack-pot has to be collected during the week of the lotto draw; as a result, when there is no ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be allotted to the lottery ticket holder(s) on the succeeding winning prize level.
