Mega Jackpot Rollover
The EuroMillions Mega Jackpot was not won last Friday 5 February, so the rollover rule was applied and EuroMillions players now have an even bigger jackpot of €129 million to play for this Friday 12 February. Demand for tickets in last week’s game was extremely high, so commentators are predicting that interest in the coming game will be even stronger. Our advice to anyone who wants to have a go at winning the €129 million is to buy tickets at the earliest opportunity so that you don’t forget!
Although nobody matched the five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers to win the jackpot last week, there were still more than 3 million prizes paid out. The EuroMillions results were 34, 35, 38, 39 and 46, and the two Lucky Star numbers were 03 and 04.
17 players beat odds of 1 in 5,448,240 to match the five main numbers and one Lucky Star, winning €362,493 each. 17 other players beat odds of 1 in 3,632,160 to match the five main numbers only, winning €102,870 each. Even those who matched just two main numbers and one of the Lucky Stars each won €11, and we are guessing that many of those winners will be reinvesting their prize money in a few extra tickets for the even bigger jackpot game this Friday.
As always, the odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot are 1 in 76,275,360, so buying more tickets to improve your chances of landing a potential payoff of €129 million is something that you might want to give serious consideration. Buying two tickets would effectively double your odds of winning, and buying ten would improve your odds ten-fold.
The principle of buying more tickets applies to syndicates as well as individuals, so if you belong to a syndicate with ten members in total and you usually buy just one ticket each, buying more tickets would obviously increase the chances of the syndicate winning a prize. Buy three tickets each and the group would have 30 times more chance of winning than someone buying a single ticket.
Of course, the beauty of EuroMillions is that a single ticket might be all it takes for you to change your life forever, so whether you choose to buy one ticket or 100 tickets, be sure to play EuroMillions online today and good luck!
