Lotto Blog – Online Lottery News, Results and Tickets »

Welcome to the first blog in our new series of lotto terms, a feature that aims to explain to players what some lottery jargon really means.
Lotto fans may already be familiar with the word rollover, but to those who do not know, this is when games become even more exciting and jackpots start to climb even higher.
A rollover is when a top prize is not won after a draw because no lottery tickets had numbers matching all of the balls drawn in the game.
As a result, the jackpot rolls over to the next game, increasing the payout when somebody does strike lucky with their numbers.
Rollovers are a thrill for many lotto fans and some prizes can keep on growing for months on end, creating record-smashing jackpots when they are finally won.
This year, the EuroMillions saw its largest-ever prize go to Christine and Colin Weird of Largs in Scotland.
The couple won the coveted €185 million jackpot in July after 14 rollovers and were lucky they nabbed it when they did,
because EuroMillions officials were going to split the money between second-tier winners if nobody’s luck came in.
Another game that is popular thanks to its rollovers is Italian SuperEnalotto, which sees its jackpots climb week upon week owing to having 90 balls in play – which may also tempt those who love the excitement a rollover causes.

Many lottery fans may have their plans for spending their Italian SuperEnalotto winnings all mapped out for when their lucky numbers come in – but do these dreams feature friends and family?
Speaking to Wales Online, BBC Wales newsreader Jamie Owen admitted that the first thing he would buy if he scooped a lotto jackpot is lunch for all of his nearest and dearest, so they could mull over what best to use the money for.
And Sara Manchipp – also known as Miss Wales 2011 – claimed a big party for her relatives is what she has always dreamed of doing with a big lottery win.
“[I've planned on] bringing my family together for one big celebration, with so much food and cake that we’d be there for weeks,” she stated.
The last Italian SuperEnalotto draw took place on Saturday (October 1st) and resulted in a rollover – so lotto fans might be itching to get in the game to be in with a chance of winning €19.2 million tomorrow (October 4th).

There are two options a winner can choose to claim the super lotto prize. They can either claim a lump sum of the cash value payment or opt to go with the modified payment options process where the jackpot is paid in 26 graduated annual payments. Should one choose to get the lump sum cash value of their prize, which is about 45% to 55% of the jackpot value, the amount one will receive will be subject to US federal tax, which is set at 25% for US citizens and 30% for non-residents.

The common concern among skeptics is the security of the draws to be random and fair. The Superlotto Plus governing body ensures the public that they do every precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the lottery balls and the actual draws. The draw balls are kept safely sealed and locked in a room with door alarms and is monitored with surveillance cameras and motion detectors round the clock. The only way one can get in to retrieve the lottery balls is with the use of two keys, one of which is in the hands of an independent representative.
