How do rollovers work?

When no one wins the main EuroMillions jackpot, the prize money isn't lost; it 'rolls over' and is added to the jackpot for the next draw. This is why the £84 million from Tuesday's draw became an estimated £94 million for Friday. This process can continue, making jackpots grow significantly larger over time.
