rollover jackpot

And so, of course, four weeks after the lottery began in the fall and when its rollover jackpot hit $28 million, that is precisely what happened.

Dolores McNamara, 46, from Garryowen will collect €113 million after winning the EuroMillions rollover jackpot.

The National Lottery made this change to generate bigger rollover jackpots, partly so that people living near the border with Northern Ireland would not abandon Lotto when the 6/49 British National Lottery began operations on 14 November 1994.

In September 2007, bingo operators were allowed to introduce rollover jackpots for the first time and the National Bingo Game introduced the "Big N" - an optional £1 jackpot charge to players which gave them a chance to play for a gold, silver or platinum jackpot which could exceed £1 million.
