The Big Draw that Is SuperEnalotto

  by: Edward Webber - Category:

The Italian National Lotto, Superenalotto, has not been won as of yet and it now stands at a staggering €173.4 million. Although many ticket holders have won significant prizes since the establishment of Superenalotto in 1997, the major payout was in August 2009, where a lucky ticket holder went home with €147.8 million- making it one of the world’s biggest lottery jackpots to be won by a single player.

In order to win the jackpot, the ticket holders must have tickets with six numbers that range from 1- 90, and the combination should match the numbers that will be drawn in the draw held on one of the allotted days.

The lottery draws take place three times a week: on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday in Rome, Italy. What makes it difficult to win is that there are 90 balls to select from in order to get the six required balls and a bonus from the drum. Those with different number combinations will have the chance to win small prizes, since the additional combination prizes are available during the draws. Viewers will also get a chance to watch the draw live in Italy, while those abroad can view the same online.

This jackpot has made Superenalotto one of the most famous and sought after lottery providers. Lottery enthusiasts, regardless of their location, also have a chance to try their luck at winning the jackpot. Players from all around the world have been invited to purchase the Italian lottery tickets through the internet to stand a chance to win €173.4 million.
