Euro Millions Rollover
Welcome...
A Euro millions rollover happens when there is no Euro millions Jackpot winner. In other words, no one has matched 5 numbers and the two lucky stars in that particular weekly draw.
This means that the 'pot' then rolls over to the following week.
Rollovers appear to be occurring more frequently, which is creating great excitement due to the massive payouts that are generated on seemingly a more and more regular basis.
Euromillions jackpots appear to be getting bigger due to the huge popularity of the game which is probably as a direct result of the more frequent rollovers.
A typical jackpot would be around 15 million euros compared to a rollover which is often more than double and occasionally many times that amount. This entices more people to play as the cost is the same but the possibility of winning the HUGE amount involved in a Superdraw can be very exciting. The knowledge that it must be won and cannot roll over can entice even the most hardened non lottery player to succumb and take part in the Euromillions draw.
The ultimate rollover Superdraw is held to celebrate or mark a notable event in the history of Euromillions, or due to there being no winners after each subsequent rollover which has continued for twelve weeks. The 12th week Euromillions Superdaw can often involve immense Jackpots which cannot roll over and MUST be won. The most recent of which took place on September 26th 2008 which was set at 130 million euros.
Euro millions Rollover History

A law to prohibit rollovers from continuing past the 12th week was introduced in January 2006. This ensured that if no one matched the 5 numbers and two lucky stars then the rollover jackpot revenue would be shared at the next level down which requires that only the 5 numbers and 1 lucky star need to be matched. This continues to the next level down if there are no winners and so on until a winner or winners are announced.
The largest rollover win to date of 115 million euros, to be paid out to one person, was made in Ireland on 31st July 2005 after the lottery rolled over 9 times.
It was initially thought that a rollovers would occur rarely in the Euro lotto, but this was proved wrong in 2006 when there were no less than three rollovers in February, March and November sharing in jackpots of 180 million, 76 million and 183 million euros respectively. The largest UK rollover win was in August 2007 which was paid out to a former Royal Mail post administrator and totalled 52.6 million euros.
There was no single ticket winner of 26th September rollover which means that no one matched the 5 numbers and two star numbers required. The rollover Jackpot then rolled down to the next level of 5 numbers and 1 star and produced fifteen winners from several countries across Europe giving each winner over 9 million euros each.
