thelotter » International lottery tickets: Understanding jackpot currency – January 26th 2012
by: admin - Category:
In this guide, lotto enthusiasts may be encouraged to buy international lottery tickets by gaining a better understanding of jackpots that are not in US Dollars, sterling, Australian and New Zealand Dollars or Euros.
Brazilian Real
This week’s Brazil Mega Sena jackpot is estimated to be worth R$21.5 million – but what is the equivalent value of a Real to a Dollar?
The current top prize for this lotto is the sum of three rollovers in the past weeks and when converted to the US currency, it is worth $12.2 million – so players can expect more than half the value in Brazilian Real in terms of the Dollar if they choose to play Mega Sena this Saturday (January 28th).
South African Rand
At theLotter, fans can enter the South Africa Lotto and South Africa Powerball draws – but theRand may be stopping them from trying out either of these games.
The South Africa Lotto is currently featured in theSmart, with Saturday’s jackpot looking to be worth 25 million Rand, which is around $3.2 million.
Swedish Kroner
The Scandinavians love their lotteries and offer games that straddle several of the Nordic nations such as the Viking Lotto.
Even though they are part of Europe, Sweden, Norway and Denmark do not trade in Euros and stick to their native Kroner – which may be an alien currency to those unfamiliar.
The next Viking Lotto draw – which also features on theSmart – is due to take place on Wednesday next week (February 1st) and is estimated to have a top prize worth 14 million Swedish Kroner, which in Dollars is $2.1 million.
Turkish Lira
The Turkish games such as the TurkeyLotto 649 and the Super Lotto 654 operate in Turkish Lira. Both these lotteries are on theSmart this week, with the latter’s next drawing taking place tonight (January 26th).
Fans who enter the TurkeySuper Lotto 654 today could bag themselves TRY 3.2 million – which converts to roughly half in Dollars, making $1.7 million.
Polish Zloty
Finally, theSmart is also advertising the Poland Lotto, which has its next drawing this evening for entrants to be in with a chance of winning 6 million Zloty.
This is the sum of a double rollover and in dollars, the tip prize converts to $1.8 million.
