SuperEnalotto is one of Italy’s most popular national lottery games.
SuperEnalotto costs €1.00 to enter, with draws taking place three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 20:00 local time. Ticket sales end at 19:30 local time on draw days, with online entry from abroad ending several hours earlier.
To enter SuperEnalotto, choose six numbers between 1 and 90, or go for a Quick Pick to play with randomly generated numbers. A seventh number called the Jolly Number is drawn, with players matching it against their six choices for a chance to win the second prize.
For an extra €0.50, a SuperStar number can be played alongside the regular numbers, which multiplies existing SuperEnalotto payouts and guarantees a prize if matched.
