Syndicate wins UK Triple Rollover

A Lotto triple rollover jackpot is a jackpot that has rolled over on three consecutive occasions. Because the chances of any single ticket winning a lottery jackpot are always quite slim, a lottery jackpot rolling over once or twice is quite common, but three times in a row to create a triple rollover is somewhat rarer.

Triple rollover lottery jackpots are popular with lottery players for the obvious reason that they offer the eventual triple rollover winner a lot more money even though the cost of a ticket remains the same.

For example, if a lottery offers an average jackpot prize of £5 million, a triple rollover jackpot might be worth £20 million, which is four times as much cash. However, the price of a lottery ticket for the £5 million draw and the price of a ticket for the triple rollover draw would be the same, as would the odds of winning the triple rollover jackpot.

As with other Lotto jackpots, if more than one ticket wins a triple rollover jackpot then the prize is shared equally between the number of winning tickets. There can be no more than three consecutive Lotto rollovers, so if no ticket matches all of the main numbers required to win the triple rollover jackpot it is ‘rolled down’ to players who match five main numbers and the bonus ball.

Many lottery players are in the habit of buying more tickets for triple rollover draws than they do for regular draws, and they do this to take advantage of the increased prize money that is available. If a lottery ticket in a regular draw offers value for money then a ticket for a triple rollover draw offers even better value, so from that perspective buying more tickets in a triple rollover game make a lot of sense.

Because triple rollover lottery jackpots are so popular, demand for tickets tends to be higher than usual. This can lead to lengthy queues in offline retail outlets, so many triple rollover lottery players choose to buy Lotto tickets online instead.
