How many rollovers can take place?
This varies from one lottery to another. In the case of the UK Lottery, there is a maximum of three rollovers. After a triple rollover, the unwon jackpot is distributed amongst the next tier winners. The EuroMillions lottery can roll over many more times. However, if the jackpot is not won on the twelfth successive week (i.e., eleven rollovers), then the jackpot prize is “rolled down” by distributing it between winners of the next level instead of rolling it forward again. Both the PowerBall and MegaMillions lotteries have no cap to the amount of times a rollover can take place. These lotteries will roll over until won.
