Euro Millions Prizes

The probabilities of scooping the Euro Lotto jackpot is a distant 1 in 76 million but the prospect of acquiring a cash prize is a fairly decent one in twenty four. When the “jackpot” is not won on a given lotto draw, it is carried forward to the following week that will result in an ever increasing jackpot prize. New rules brought in on the 2007-02-07 define the amount of consecutive “roll-overs” to eleven, with the jack-pot rolled down to smaller value levels on the eleventh draw when the prize is not collected.
