euromillion

Hi can anyone inform me, is the euro million draw on a Tuesday a separate draw to the main euromillion. I understood it was the same draw however I continued to see adverts prior to the draw on Tuesday announcing a roll over of a big jackpot on Friday. I have watched this closely and when there is a big jackpot 100 K + Tuesdays draw is never won.... surely there is something wrong here, how can they advertised a big draw on Friday before Tuesdays draw even takes place. is it rigged so nobody wins on Tuesday, if that's the case why would you spend money doing the Tuesday draw.
Please advise

Probably unclaimed monies being added to that nights draw, it happens from time to time. Tou'd be suprisied the ammount of money not claimed.

No - tuesday and friday draws are the same, and if not won they roll over to each other. I'd guess the friday draw is more popular than the tuesday one which is why it is won more? Also, remember there is a 'Plus' draw in parallel.

Looking at the recent past, Tuesday Jackpots won were £16m, £25m, £20m, £31m & £58m) (source https://www.national-lottery.co.uk/results/euromillions/draw-history )

Tonights draw for 100M is one of the guaranteed jackpot draws that they run from time to time. Irrespective of whether tuesdays jackpot was won or not the jackpot for tonight was always going to be 100M.

Yup - onnonotgmail is right... they do a guaranteed €100m draw from time to time, in addition to the occasions when it keeps rolling over until it gets to that point.

The Tuesday draw was for just over €80m... had it rolled over as normal tonight's one would be for around €90m, not €100m.
