Most lottery players are quite familiar with what a Rollover is and how it works when they are playing their chosen lottery game. It's an incredibly simple concept indeed.
Just for the record, however, in a lottery, a Roll-Over occurs when the jackpot prize is not won and is then carried forward to the jackpot prize of the next lottery draw.
This happens every single week within lotteries worldwide and makes for some large jackpots to be won – in many cases these lottery jackpot prizes can be absolutely staggering!
Lottery jackpots can Roll-Over many times – sometimes without limit – until someone picks the winning lottery numbers. Until then, the lotto jackpot will continue to roll and build game after game.
Sometimes there is a limit as to how many times these Rollovers can occur within a lottery game. When this limit has been reached and the jackpot prize is still not won, the lottery jackpot will then generally be shared amongst lottery winners in the 2nd prize tier.
So, you can win a lottery jackpot in some cases even if you don’t have all the correct winning lottery numbers!
Largest EVER Rollover…
The largest ever lottery rollover in the world to be won to date was on March 6th 2007, when the Mega Millions game in the USA produced a lottery jackpot of $390 MILLION which was shared between 2 lucky lottery ticket holders.
