Jackpot behaviour
In comparison with other lotteries just like the EuroMillions along with the German Lotto 6 aus 49, the Eurojackpot is designed to fork out have sex (1:95 million odds versus over 1:139 million for that EuroMillions along with the German Lotto). Because of this, it’s not anticipated the lottery will grow for the same record-breaking sizes achieved by the EuroMillions, because it will in all probability be won instead.
As much as January 31, 2013 the Lotto results lottery stood a ‘rolldown’ clause: in case the jackpot isn’t won for 12 consecutive draws, the 13th draw will be susceptible to a rolldown whereby if no winner has the capacity to match all 7 winning numbers, the jackpot will be paid to another winning tier where a winner can be obtained. It turned out this clause that set the last jackpot record of 27,545,857.50 Euros in August 2012, as being a German player who correctly matched the five main numbers, only one of several Euronumbers (from two), walked away together with the jackpot in the second prize tier.
