Lottery question

Megahurtz400 · 1 Jan 2011 at 18:08

So, got a ticket for tonight, but was just wondering this:

Say I get 6 numbers, and no one else does, but people get 5 numbers and below, do I get the jackpot all to myself, or do I share the jackpot between everyone else?

Cheers,
Dan

you get the jackpot, second tier prizes are calculated independently. If no one wins the JP then it rolls over.

Yes you get the jackpot to yourself. The other prizes are paid independently from the jackpot.

Thats alright, I wouldn't mind sharing the jackpot with someone from the forums, we could build the most epic house ever known to man!

Lucky dip for me

Although theres no reason those numbers have any less chance of coming up than others

What websites have you been visiting today ? I was looking for a second hand Ferrari then spotted that you've already beaten me to it.

What a waste of a couple of lucky dips :mad:

Yeah, 6 correct numbers is in its own tier, so if you were sole winner, you get the JP. If no one wins, the JP rolls over.

5 numbers + bonus is the next tier, usually good for £100k if you get it.

5 numbers alone is the next tier down, think you get £1k for that.

4 numbers is the next tier, between £65 and £120 if you get it. (I had it once and got £88).

Then it's 3 numbers for £10.

You would need slightly more than the ~£7mil I'm afraid.
