SuperEnalotto Italy lottery is drawn from a 90 ball pool and to win the jackpot you must match 6  out of the available 90 numbers. It’s logo is a four leaved clover a symbol long regarded as lucky by people all over the world

The 6 winning numbers are taken from the first number drawn in all of Italy’s regional Lottomatica’s draws held in Bari, Florence, Palermo, Naples, Rome and Milan plus a Jolly number from the Venice draw. If two identical numbers are first out in any of the two draws then the subsequent ball becomes the lottery number for that town.

There are six ways to win the SuperEnalotto Italy, match 6 numbers for the jackpot, 5 and the Jolly number, 5 numbers, 4 numbers or 3 numbers to win a cash prize. The game jackpot starts at €1.3 million and continues to rise and rollover like our own National Lottery until it is won.

Given that the aim is to match 6 numbers from a massive 60 available, Italy’s SuperEnalotto is one of the hardest lotteries in the world to win; the odds of matching all of the 6 numbers to win the jackpot are 1 in 622,614,630.

The biggest prize ever won in a SuperEnalotto draw was a jackpot of €71 million, won by a syndicate of 10 customers in a bar in Milan on May 4th 2005 and was the biggest ever lottery prize to be won in Europe until lucky Irish woman Dolores McNamara scooped a staggering €115 million on the Euromillions lottery draw a couple of months later.
