Lotto Triple Rollover

Rollover The UK National lottery jackpot always becomes more exciting when there is a triple rollover. There have only been a handful of triple rollovers and they have all offered huge jackpots worth somewhere around the £20,000,000 mark. In some cases the triple rollover jackpots have been shared by several winners, but because triple rollover jackpots tend to be so big, every winner has still managed to take home a huge chunk of money.

Of course, triple rollover jackpots aren't always shared by multiple winners, and sometimes a single winner scoops the whole triple rollover jackpot prize. This has helped some lucky Lotto players see their bank accounts swell by £18 million, £20 million and even more.

Clearly, a lottery triple rollover is something special, and whenever there is a triple rollover jackpot up for grabs there are millions of people dreaming of a win of £20 million or more. But what would anyone do with such a fortune? If you happen to get lucky and are scratching around for ideas, here are a few of our own: 

* Rent the Disneyworld theme park in Orlando for the day. Michael Jackson did it, so why can't you? Just think, no queues, no FastPass tickets, and not a single back-pack in sight - just immediate Disney gratification whenever you want it, thanks to your triple rollover win.
 
* Buy an executive jet. You could get a Lear jet for around a quarter of your triple rollover win, or a helicopter for slightly more. Even better, it would only cost a relatively trifling amount to learn to actually pilot the beast.
 
* Get yourself a new home in every country in Europe. This is the perfect idea for those of you who want to make the most of your EU citizenship. You could also buy a EuroMillions ticket in each country for the sake of posterity.
 
* Buy a thoroughbred racehorse. Actually, with a triple rollover jackpot in the bank you could buy several. Just be sure to leave enough left over for their upkeep and hiring a decent jockey.
 
* Pay Christina Aguilera (or any other celebrity that takes your fancy) as much as it takes for a private audience. Not everyone has a price, but most do, and a triple rollover jackpot should be enough to give you a fighting chance.

Ticket sales invariably increase when there is a rollover, and so a triple rollover jackpot always sends sales figures through the roof. It could simply be that a triple rollover jackpot attracts more players, but the fact is that triple rollover jackpots also make the lottery better value for money. Your chances of winning are around 1 in 14 million, so if the triple rollover jackpot prize is £20 million, you're getting ten times as much value for your £1 than if the jackpot was just £2 million. The lottery odds of you winning don't change, of course, but if it happens you'll be a lot richer playing a triple rollover than a regular game.

The UK National Lottery doesn't allow for more than four consecutive rollovers, so if a triple rollover jackpot isn't won it rolls over just one more time. If the jackpot isn't won after four consecutive rollovers it rolls down to the players who get five numbers plus the bonus ball.
