A Euromillions Superdraw is a special lottery draws that offer a bumper jackpot to players and there have been a number of these since the Euromillions was first introduced back in 2004. Often these Superdraws are held to commemorate a special occasion such as an anniversary of Euromillions or when a change has taken place to the rules like the introduction of a new prize tier, additional Lucky Stars numbers and a new draw like the Tuesday draw in May 2011. Whilst the minimum jackpot for Euromillions is currently £13 / €15 million Superdraws tend to start at £85/€100 million.
Despite the enhanced jackpot on offer in Euromillions Superdraws the odds of being a winner and the cost of tickets remain the same meaning the Euromillions Superdraws offer better value for money than regular non-rollover draws.
A popular misconception of Euromillions Superdraws is that the £85/€100 million prize pot is added to the prize pot, this is not the case. If the jackpot prior to the Superdraw has rolled on a number of occasions the prize pot for the Euromillions Superdraw is just increased to reach the £85/€100 million mark.
For example: Draw no: 292 on 11th September 2009 produced a 3rd consecutive rollover to reach a jackpot of £37.8/€43.1 million. Draw no: 293 on 18th September was a Euromillions Superdraw but the jackpot prize pool was estimated at £85/€100 million.
Of course Euromillions Superdraws incite much excitement amongst players simply because of the increased jackpot but also because often they are promoted with more enthusiasm and excitement than a standard Euromillions jackpot.
