When the “jackpot” is not won on a given week, it is carried forward to the following week which results in an ever increasing jack-pot value. New rules added on the 9/02/2007 specify the amount of consecutive roll-overs to eleven, with the jackpot rolling out to lower value levels in the 11th lottery draw when the prize is not won.

The new regulations likewise initiated European Lottery Super-Draw which come about twice annually and offer “jackpots” in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super Draws is that the “jackpot” must be collected during the calendar week of the lottery draw; as a result, if there is no lotto ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be distributed to the lotto ticket holder(s) on the succeeding winning prize tier.
