SuperEnalotto world's biggest lottery
16th November 2009 8:58 AM
Right now the Italian SuperEnalotto is the world’s biggest lottery with a staggering jackpot of €88.8 million on offer in the next draw on Tuesday evening. It’s been weeks since the popular Italian Lottery had a winner and lottery fever is taking hold right across Italy as players vie to be the next big lottery millionaire. Notoriously one of the hardest lotteries in the world to win, rollovers are common for the SuperEnalotto but jackpots of this magnitude not quite so common which is bound to attract a lot of interest in the lottery world.
It’s certainly not the first time the SuperEnalotto has been the world’s biggest lottery either, just a few months ago there was over €100 million up for grabs on the lottery, an event which caused the nation to go into lottery meltdown.
The reason the SuperEnalotto is one of the hardest in the world to win is because of the way it is played. Many of the world’s lottery draws are played with 49 or 50 balls, the SuperEnalotto has 90. This of course makes it much harder to pick the winning numbers, something that ensures rollovers aplenty.
Also the SuperEnalotto doesn’t draw all its balls from one single draw machine. The winning numbers are made up of the first ball drawn in all of the country’s local lottery draws and this somehow, seems to make the odds of winning even less likely.
Players do win though and you have just as much chance of winning with an €88 million jackpot as with a €1 million jackpot so if you want to put your money into a risky but high dividend investment this week you might find yourself with a bigger bonus than ever imagined.
