What is a jackpot rollover?
A jackpot rollover happens when no one wins the top prize in a lottery draw. The prize money isn't lost; instead, it's added to the jackpot for the next draw, making it even larger. This is why the EuroMillions jackpot in the story increased from £24 million, attracting more players and excitement for the following draw.
