Lotto rollovers occur, when none of the players hits the jackpot. In such case, the pool from the previous draw gets rolled over to the next draw. Increased jackpot makes the lottery more attractive, while rollover makes it possible to win even a few hundreds of million dollars.
Each of the lotteries has its own specific rules regarding the rollovers. Some of the lotteries don’t limit the jackpot. This means, that the prize may keep on rising until at least one of the players picks the numbers correctly. Lotteries without a jackpot limit are Powerball, SuperEnalotto, Mega Millions and Polish Lotto.

Eurojackpot – jackpot may rise up to 90 million euros or get rolled over 12 times. If none of the players picks the drawn numbers correctly after 12 draws, the prize gets split between 2nd tier prize winners.
