The UK Lotto draw on February 20 is a roll down draw. It is also the largest roll down jackpot since the launch of the revised game and the draw is on a Wednesday.
Five S groups launched to buy tickets for the draw. With a total of 13 groups buying tickets, this will be one of our largest ever group plays. The S groups are predicted to collectively win more money than they spend if the jackpot rolls down. The prediction held true for the previous Wednesday roll down draw.
Please refer to the section Multiple Group Launches on the page How it all works (http://www.lotterygroup.info/Blog/HowItWorks.htm) for an explanation on how the 5 new S groups are being organized.

The deadline to join the new S groups buying tickets for the UK Lotto roll down draw is today at midnight Eastern Standard Time.
To read about how a couple made millions playing roll down draws, search "Jerry and Marge Selbee" for many interesting stories. Some of the stories are misleading since they refer to loopholes and math errors in the games - neither of which is true. It is a simple case of buying lots of tickets when the expected value is positive.

If the jackpot is not won in the March 9 UK Lotto draw, then 3 groups will launch to buy tickets for the UK Lotto roll down draw on March 13. Given how much money the existing groups have, this will be our largest ever group play.
If there is a roll down draw on March 13 and the jackpot is not won, then the S groups will most likely turn a profit. The same prediction was made and came true for the previous two roll down draws
