When the Reserve Fund runs to a given excess, the participating national lotteries can jointly arrange the next big promotion.Īpart from the enhanced jackpot, Superdraws operate exactly the same as regular draws. The money for Superdraws comes from the Reserve Fund, which is the same fund that is used to ensure the minimum jackpot of €17 million can always be offered. If there’s been a run of winners without the top prize being able to rise too high, it guarantees there will be a huge jackpot to look forward to on a particular date. In a Superdraw, the jackpot is increased to the advertised amount regardless of its value in the preceding draw.
There’s even a chance that the jackpot could surpass €130 million by the time the 9th September comes around. Between the Superdraws there have been several other big payouts across the participating countries. It’s not just been UK success in 2022 either. Another Superdraw which should have taken place on 29th April had to be pushed back because the top prize was already worth more than €130 million, leading to a €215 million (£184 million) win for Gloucester’s Joe and Jess Thwaite a couple of weeks later.Ī UK player also won the jackpot in the year’s first Superdraw on 4th February. It has been a remarkable year for big jackpots.

It is set to be the third Super Jackpot event of the year, following hot on the heels of the last one on Friday 17th June.
