Yet another roll-over awaits us this coming Friday, thanks again to people across the globe failing to select the winning 7 number combination. This recent spout of roll-overs therefore raises the question: is the EuroMillions lottery “the most difficult lottery in the world to win”?
Against the odds
In comparison to other lotteries from around the world, mathematically, the SuperEnalotto of Italy is supposedly the most difficult, as players try to match 6 numbers out of 90, compared to 5 numbers out of 50, plus 2 out of 9, in the EuroMillions. The odds in winning the SuperEnalotto jackpot are an impossible 1 in 622,614,630! However, in terms of prizes, the EuroMillions far surpasses it, with notable jackpots of €180 million in 2006, and the recent €126 million in May 2009. The US based Mega Millions also boasts to be extremely difficult to win, with numbers being drawn from two separate bags. However, with smaller jackpots than the EuroMillions and having to pay taxes on your winnings in some States, it certainly isn’t the most appealing lottery.
So, on paper, the EuroMillions isn’t the most difficult lottery in the world to win. Nevertheless, with huge odds stacked against you, why do players keep coming back for more? Perhaps this isn’t so difficult to answer – a small investment for a huge potential reward!
The Solution to a Need
While we have already blogged about ‘cracking the code’ and the enormous odds against you (1 in 76 over million), this recent roll over again highlights the necessity for services like Gluto.com and its Lotto Insights function. By firstly reducing the challenge of selecting 7 numbers, to just five (Gluto.com guarantees the 2 Lucky Star Numbers) and therefore increasing your chance of winning by 3600%, the Lotto Insights can further improve your chances of winning by providing you with all the data you need to know about the 50 main numbers. This means that players are able to make more informed choices on the numbers chosen.
Gluto.com was created based upon the premise of ‘difficult made easy’. It is therefore our prerogative to ensure that as many EuroMillions lottery players across the globe are aware of the service and how it can benefit them, as we intend to make the difficulty of winning the EuroMillions lottery, that much easier.
