How to Play SuperEnalotto: Rules, Odds & Draw Times
SuperEnalotto is Italy's national lottery and, thanks to some of the longest odds in the world, the source of some of the largest jackpots ever won anywhere. Here's exactly how it works and what makes it different from every other lottery on LottoScopeX.
Where you can play
SuperEnalotto is sold exclusively in Italy, through Sisal-operated retailers, tobacconists, bars, and licensed online platforms. Unlike EuroMillions or EuroJackpot, it isn't a cross-border pooled lottery — it's Italy's own national game, and has been since it launched in December 1997.
How to play
Choose 6 main numbers from 1 to 90. Matching all 6 wins the jackpot. After the 6 main numbers are drawn, a seventh number called the Jolly is drawn from the remaining 84 numbers — matching 5 main numbers plus the Jolly wins a large second prize, though it never affects the jackpot itself. There are six prize tiers in total, down to matching just 2 numbers.
Draw schedule and ticket price
Draws take place four times a week — Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, at 20:00 Central European Time in Rome. A standard entry costs €1. Players can add the optional SuperStar number for an extra €0.50 per entry, drawn separately from its own pool of 90 numbers, which pays a fixed €2,000,000 for matching all 6 main numbers plus SuperStar, or smaller fixed and multiplied prizes further down the tiers.
Jackpot size and odds
The jackpot has no fixed cap and no rolldown rule forcing it into lower tiers, so it simply keeps growing every time it goes unwon. The odds of matching all 6 numbers are 1 in 622,614,630 — by far the longest odds of any lottery LottoScopeX tracks, over twice as long as Powerball's. See our full odds comparison across all 9 lotteries for how that's calculated. Those long odds are exactly why SuperEnalotto has produced some of the largest lottery prizes ever recorded: the biggest, €371,133,424.51, was split between 90 winning tickets on 16 February 2023, while the largest single-winner jackpot — €209,160,441.54 — was won on 13 August 2019 by a single ticket sold at a bar in Lodi.
A brief history
SuperEnalotto launched on 3 December 1997, an evolution of the older "Enalotto" game that had existed since the 1950s. Sisal, the operator, redesigned the format to draw numbers independently rather than pulling them from regional Lotto wheels, and introduced the SuperStar add-on in 2009. It remains Italy's biggest jackpot lottery today.
