Mega Jackpot Rollover
Back in February 2010 the EuroMillions Mega Jackpot eluded players everywhere and rolled over to give them a second bite at an even bigger cherry. Well, the same thing has happened again, because the €100 million Mega Jackpot last Friday 1 October has rolled over to give players an even bigger €129 million to aim for on Friday 8 October. For UK readers, that’s a Mega Jackpot of around £112 million!
Demand for EuroMillions tickets in last week’s Mega Jackpot game was incredibly high – so much so that over 3.59 million prizes were won in total. 16 players each won a second-tier prize of €392,669 (or £268,412 for UK winners) for matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star number, whilst 18 more players matched just the five main numbers to walk away with a third tier prize of €99,052 (or £67,707).
Every EuroMillions ticket bought in the UK includes an automatic entry into the Millionaire Raffle game which guarantees that one player will win £1,000,000 regardless of the EuroMillions results. The winning Millionaire Raffle number last Friday 1 October was PXY889884, so if you haven’t checked your own tickets against the EuroMillions results you might want to do so now, just in case!
We mentioned at the beginning of this news item that the Mega Jackpot draw in February also rolled over to the following draw. You may be interested to note that the larger rollover jackpot was then won by two tickets, one belonging to a player in Spain and the other to a player in the UK. If history repeats itself then the €129 million jackpot could be won this Friday, and even if the jackpot is split between two players again, each one would still start the working week with an extra €64.5 million to their name!
Play EuroMillions online today and each of your entries will have just as much chance of winning the EuroMillions Mega Jackpot rollover prize as any other.
