SuperEnalotto Rules

To play SuperEnalotto, players choose six numbers from a guess range of 1-90. The bonus number (Jolly Ball) is drawn from the same drum as the regular guess set and is counted towards the second prize of 5+1 only. Players can choose to play a 5 line entry or select a systematic form which produces all possible entry combinations of 8, 9 ,10, or 11 numbers and increases the chances of winning a prize.

Play your favourite lottery online at theLotter.com and choose to use pre-selected numbers saved on theLotter.com (My Lucky Numbers), leave it to our random number generator (Quick Pick), or manually select their numbers (Natural Selection). When playing the lottery online, players can purchase a Subscription or a Multi-Draw to ensure they never miss a draw, as well as to take advantage of great discounts exclusively at theLotter.com.

Ticket sales on theLotter.com close three hours prior to the draw. SuperEnalotto draws take place every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 19:00 PM GMT, and results are available on the site at approximately 20:00 GMT the same day.

Winning the SuperEnalotto

SuperEnalotto has five prize categories, and to win the jackpot, all six numbers of the regular guess set must match the winning number selection. The bonus number (Jolly) is not required to win the jackpot and is counted towards the second prize only.

In Italy's most popular lottery, SuperEnalotto jackpots have no cap, and there are no roll downs of jackpots. Like many Italian lotteries, there is a tax of 1.03% on winnings over €100, a 3.1% tax on winnings over €300, and a 6% on any winnings over €500.00. The SuperEnalotto's jackpot winners can choose between an annuity (any structured fixed payments that are given over a specified period of time) or a lump sum (a one-time payment) when collecting their winnings from the SuperEnalotto headquarters.

The SuperEnalotto top prize starts at €1.3 million, and grows without a jackpot limit. In fact, the Italian lotto set the record for one of the longest rollovers of all time when in October 2010, after almost nine months unclaimed, a main prize of €177.8 million was won, setting Italy's lottery record in the process. Back in 2009, a jackpot continued to roll over for more than seven months.
