Euro Millions Rollover History
Euro millions Keeps on Rolling !
Millions of people have played the Euromillions Lottery since it's introduction in February 2004 with total sales running into many billions of euros to date and weekly ticket sales approaching 100 million euros. The attraction is bigger Prize Funds than the UK National Lotto and for many, the added incentive to playing the Euromillions Lotto is the increasing frequency of it's Rollover and the huge Jackpots associated with it.
There are many fascinating facts and statistics behind the Euromillions Rollover and the huge Prize Funds that accompany it. More and more players are attracted every time a new roll over is imminent but the introduction of the 'Superdraw Rule' in 2006 which states that the Euromillions cannot roll over more than eleven times and must be won on the twelfth draw regardless of whether there is an outright Jackpot winner, must surely serve to be the biggest reason for playing.
Due to this ruling, the substantial Euromillions Prize Fund is often divided out between the players who have matched five balls and one lucky star rather than five balls and two lucky stars. It is usual for many millionaires to be made in Euromillions Superdraw rather than one multi, multi millionaire! By playing in a Superdraw, everyone feels as if they have a better or fairer chance of winning a decent cash sum. Therefore it makes sense to play in a lottery syndicate when the odds of winning become even more attractive and a player's winning chances are increased by 3600 per cent making it simply the wisest choice of playing the Euromillions Lotto today.
