It is Roll Down Time
Normally, for each week that the Euromillions jackpot is not won,
all the money in the jackpot pot for that week, is rolled-over to
the jackpot pool for the following draw, so it gets bigger, and
bigger. But, after 11 weeks of this, i.e. for the 12th draw, (or for special designated Superdraws) the
rules change, and something called a Roll down comes into action.
Now usually to win the Euromillions jackpot, you have to guess the
five main numbers (from 1-50) and two lucky stars (numbers 1-9)
and the odds to doing that are 1:76,000,000, which is a big number in anybody's book! But matching 5 numbers and one lucky star has odds
of 1:5,000,000, which are much better.
So if you are ever going to play the EuroMillions lottery, the time you hear the jackpot is going to be rolled down, is the time to buy your tickets.
