Before thinking about the Euro millions results, you should know the rules of the game that you are about to play. The first thing you should remember is that you must claim the prize money in the country that you have purchased the tickets in. So if you were vacationing in the UK and bought a ticket for the draw in that week, then you must claim the prize and accept it in UK too before you return to your own country. You cannot go back and then ask the money to be delivered there as the rules of the game disallow this. The other rule you should stick to is the age limit. You have to be 18 years or above to be able to participate in the lottery. The age limit may differ in the various lotteries in other countries but the Euro millions has fixed the limit at 18.
Find and Win
Another rule that you should be aware of is that whoever presents the lottery ticket for collection of the prize money after the Euro millions results, will be deemed its owner. This means you will have to be very careful if you buy a physical ticket from the retail outlet. You have to preserve the ticket in a safe place so that you can produce it when needed. If you win the prize and cannot produce the ticket for verification, then you cannot claim the money in any way. You have to forfeit the prize. If the ticket is stolen from you, then the thief can produce the ticket and win the prize. You have no way of proving that the ticket was originally yours. You cannot hold the Euro millions authorities responsible for paying the money to the wrong person.
Limited Rollover
A few years back, the rules were revised by the authorities when the jackpot was not won even after being rolled over 11 times in the Euro millions results. After that, the organizers made it a rule that if the jackpot was not won between 11 consecutive draw, then in the 12th week, the prize would be claimed by the person having the 5 primary numbers correct along with 1 of the lucky star numbers. This was done to avoid the jackpot being rolled over too many times and the prize money increasing to an unthinkable amount. So there is the possibility of someone getting the jackpot within a year. It will not be rolled over indefinitely.
Play Any Number of Times
Now that you know the rules of the game, you can look at the Euro millions results with new hope. Although the odds are very high, you can still be the lucky one to win the jackpot this Friday. It is a fact that if you go on buying tickets every week, you might just win a prize within a year. The more number of tickets you buy, the greater is the probability of your winning the jackpot. And if you still win one of the lower tier prizes, you will have enough money to cover all the expenses made on the tickets throughout the year. And even if you win, you can continue to buy tickets and look at the Euro millions results hoping for another win.
