![]() ![]() I'm trying to think of other places that have embraced their unexpected fame. ![]() On the other, it feels a shame, as the Island is truly wonderful in its own right. On the one hand it's great that Skopelos has seized this marketing opportunity. The 2008 jukebox musical which, to be honest, had mixed reviews, seems inextricably linked to this beautiful island's tourist trade. Yet, despite the influences of the Dolopians, the Spartans and Venetians, it seems that ABBA are the dominant cultural force in this marina today. I'm sat in the harbour of Skopelos, an island whose history traces back to the arrival of the Minoans in 1600 BC. It's midday and the assorted Saturday sailors determinedly disembark the tourist boats to the familiar chords of "I Believe in Angels" and "Fernando". #local #radio #journalism #communications And never, ever imagine it’s going to be an easy ride. My top tip? Remember each interview is a standalone opportunity and take the small amount of time between each slot to forget the last one and prepare – as fully as you can – for the next. The listeners don’t appreciate you’re in a remote studio and haven’t been tuned in exclusively to BBC Three Counties for the last 90 minutes, so it can be difficult to get the context and tone right. Not only are the journalists often as tenacious as a Newsnight host, but you can often be wrongfooted by questions related to local issues that you’d just not planned for. If you’ve ever done a series of back-to-back radio (or TV) interviews, you’ll know just how challenging they can be. It was interesting to hear the Prime Minister get an absolute grilling this morning, across the country on BBC stations from York to Cornwall. You can then dream about how you would spend the money if you won, and then check the results after the draw to find out how lucky you have been.A big shout out to our local radio journalists who do a brilliant job with ever decreasing resources. ![]() Regardless of how you choose to play, you'll be in with a chance as long as you’ve got at least one entry. Another idea might be to play in a syndicate, so you can pick up more tickets whilst splitting the cost with others. You might decide to generate random numbers for yourself or analyse the latest statistics to see recent patterns. More tickets are likely to be sold across Europe as players are attracted to larger prizes - and the only way to actually boost your own chances of winning is to purchase more lines. Superdraws work in exactly the same way as regular draws - apart from the enhanced jackpot - so the odds of winning are no different to normal. To win any EuroMillions jackpot, you have to match all seven winning numbers, including the five main balls that are numbered between 1 and 50, and the two Lucky Stars from 1 to 12. It has not hit those heights again over the past 12 months, but there is a chance that another summer Superdraw could see a repeat. Last June, for example, there was a Superdraw which resulted in a series of rollovers that took the jackpot all the way up to €230 million - which was as high as it could go at the time.Īfter someone from the UK won that record amount (worth £195 million), the jackpot cap was raised to €240 million. It does not matter if the jackpot is much lower in the preceding draw - or even if it has just been won - it is guaranteed to be bumped up to €130 million.įrom such a large starting point, the jackpot can roll over as normal, so previous Superdraws have provided the platform for some of the biggest wins in EuroMillions history. There are usually four Super Jackpot events scheduled during the course of a year, when there is sufficient money in the Reserve Fund for such a promotion to be held. ![]()
