WHAT IS SUPERENALOTTO?

SuperEnalotto is a popular lottery in Italy that has been played since December 1997. The original national lottery, Enalotto, had been around since the 1950s and was modified by the Sisal Group years later to create SuperEnaLotto.

The lottery’s jackpots are among the largest in the world and the odds of winning the SuperEnaLotto is the lowest in the world.

SuperEnalotto draws take place three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Tickets cost € 1 per play.

Players pick 6 numbers from a pool of 1 to 90. To win, all 6 numbers must match the 6 drawn numbers. There are 6 prize divisions and the odds of winning any cash prize by matching at least 2 numbers is 1 in 21. The odds of winning the SuperEnalotto is 1 in about 622 million.

SuperEnalotto uses the Powerball format with an added number (red ball) that gives players an extra chance to match the 5 drawn numbers. It’s called the Jolly number and only affects the second prize tier. If a player matches the Jolly number, they win a higher 5+1 prize.

Who owns SuperEnalotto?

SuperEnalotto is operated under license by the Sisal Group. The lottery organisation is regulated by Italy’s top authorities and is mandated to promote the sustainable development of the lottery and gaming industry. It holds a position of leadership in the management of various gaming products in the Italian Customs and Monopolies Agency portfolio.

Sisal Group, together with Sisal Entertainment Group, has been instrumental in the process of legalising gaming and betting in Italy. The lottery organisation has earned its license to operate SuperEnalotto and other popular betting games through tenders.

The most recent tender was officiated in July 2019 and the lottery concession was once again granted to the Sisal Group. The new concession has a duration of nine years.

Sisal Group is responsible for administrating the following:

national lottery games

HOW TO PLAY SUPERENALOTTO

SuperEnalotto is a 6/90 game. Tickets cost €1 for two plays. For a small additional cost, players can pick a SuperStar number. It’s not a bonus ball but provides players to multiply the cash amount for the second cash prize.

Adding SuperStar costs only €0.50 more per combination. SuperStar is a number draw game that multiplies SuperEnalotto cash prizes anything up to 100 times.

Players pick 6 numbers from a pool of 1 to 90 numbers. One draw selects the 6 winning numbers and the Jolly number. A separate draw selects the optional SuperStar number.

To win the SuperEnalotto, players must match 6 out of the 6 drawn numbers. The odds of winning any cash prize is 1 in 21 and the odds of winning the SuperEnalotto jackpot is 1 in over 622 million.

SuperEnalotto draws take place three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

What to do at a SuperEnalotto retail outlet

Find an authorised SuperEnalotto retail outlet near you.

Choose your lucky numbers. You can manually pick your lucky numbers or use Quick Pick to randomly generate 6 numbers for you.

Choose add-on features that offer you a chance to win instant cash or participate in multiple draws with the same numbers.

Check your betslip is correct, hand it over to the cashier and pay for your ticket.

Sign the back of your ticket and then put it somewhere safe so you don’t lose it.

Check the official website for SuperEnalotto or the mobile app to check if your lucky numbers have been drawn.

Claim any cash prize either from your closest lottery retail outlet if it isn’t a large amount or from an official SuperEnalotto claim centre is you’ve won the jackpot or a big cash prize.

What is Quick Pick?

Quick Pick is the easiest way to pick your 6 lucky lottery numbers for SuperEnalotto. When you mark the Quick Pick box on your betslip (or tell the cashier to select it), the lottery terminal automatically generates 6 random numbers for you for the draw.

The Quick Pick random number generator for a lottery draw game has no built-in memory. Once a set of numbers is picked for one play, the terminal resets itself to generate a fresh batch of completely random number for the next play.

Players generally opt to use Quick Pick because it saves them the bother of coming up with their own set of unique numbers.

What is the SuperEnalotto Jolly number?

The Jolly number is an extra bonus ball in the SuperEnalotto game. It comes into play if you match 5 of the 6 drawn numbers from the main pool of 1 to 90 numbers. The Jolly number only affects the second prize tier and not the SuperEnalotto jackpot.

The Jolly number is draw from the same pool of numbers as the SuperEnalotto main draw. Unlike Powerball, players do not select an extra bonus number on a bet slip. The Jolly number is drawn from the 84 remaining balls after the 6 lucky numbers are drawn.

Players who match 5 out of the 6 drawn numbers plus the Jolly number win cash prizes that are allocated to the dedicated ‘5+Jolly’ prize tier. It’s known as SuperEnalotto 5+1.

SuperEnalotto with SuperStar

SuperStar is an optional number that players can pick for a nominal extra cost of €0.50. The SuperStar number is an extra number but not a bonus ball like you get in the Powerball or Mega Millions games.

SuperStar was introduced to give players a chance to earn bigger cash prizes. The SuperStar number is drawn from a pool of 7 to 15 and the cash prizes won correlate with each separate SuperStar number.

The SuperStar number is selected from a separate ball machine with a pool of 1 to 90 numbers. The SuperStar draw takes place straight after the main SuperEnalotto drawn.   

How the SuperStar draw works

Select a SuperStar number when you fill in your betslip and pay an additional fee of €0.50 per play. You don’t actually pick a new number like the Powerball, only indicate that you want to play SuperStar.

The SuperStar number is drawn from a pool of 1 to 90 numbers but it’s drawn from a separate drum straight after the main draw.

If the SuperStar number matches one of the 6 numbers you picked for the main SuperEnalotto game, you are guaranteed to win a cash prize.

The SuperStar game only affects the other prize tiers and not the SuperEnalotto jackpot.

Players have the option of using Hidden SuperStar (SuperStar Nascosto) which is the same feature as Quick Pick.

What prizes can you win with SuperStar?

SuperStar prizes start at a minimum of €5 for only matching the SuperStar number. Cash prizes increase in value depending on how many main numbers a player matches in the SuperEnalotto draw.

If a player matches 6 out of the 6 drawn numbers and one of those numbers is the SuperStar number, the player wins an extra €2 million on top of the massive advertised jackpot payout.

If a player matches 5 out of the 6 drawn numbers and the Jolly number and one of those numbers is the SuperStar number, the player wins an extra €1 million on top of the advertised Match 5 + SuperStar prize.

These two prize options are known as the SuperBonus prizes.

If there are multiple winners in the two main SuperStar prize tiers, the prize stated is shared equally. In exceptional circumstances, if the value of prizes won exceeds both the prize pool and reserve fund, winnings may be lower than advertised.

Let’s look at what you can win if you play SuperStar with SuperEnalotto:

HISTORY OF SUPERENALOTTO

For most of the game’s history, SuperEnalotto was unique in that it did not have a dedicated drawing of numbers. Instead, 6 winning numbers were taken from the first numbers drawn from lottery games played in the cities of Bari, Florence, Milan, Naples, Palermo, and Rome. Since July 1, 2009, the numbers have been drawn independently for SuperEnalotto.

The history of the Italian SuperEnalotto stretches all the way back to the 1950’s when it was simply called “Enalotto”. Enalotto was originally created as a 1×2 game where players would mark either “1” or “2” in each of the 12 options depending on the numbers they expected to be drawn.

Almost 4 decades later on 3 December 1997, the Enalotto was reincarnated by Italian lottery operator SISAL to become SuperEnalotto. This was done through the innovative vision of Rodolfo Molo, the son of the SISAL founder.

Players would now choose 6 numbers between 1 and 90, and for the first time is Italian lottery history, the jackpot rolls over until someone wins it.

The revolutionary Italian lottery soon started producing jackpots that rivaled the size of big names such as US Powerball, Mega Millions and EuroMillions. Later, SuperEnalotto added an extra weekly draw to make it three-weekly draw instead of twice-weekly draw.

The Jolly number and SuperStar game were added later and this took SuperEnalotto to greater heights where players in Italy and around the world stand the chance to win multiple cash prizes as well as massive jackpots.

WHY SUPERENALOTTO IS POPULAR

The SuperEnalotto jackpot is only capped after it’s 11th cycle. This means Italy’s most popular lottery game offers massive jackpots that compete with the major lotteries such as US Powerball, Mega Millions and Euro Millions.

There are 6 prize tiers including the big jackpot and another 14 prize tiers if you play SuperEnalotto with Super Play. Throw in instant cash prizes that can be won when you buy a lottery ticket at a retail outlet and you’ve got a lottery organisation that’s determined to put money in the hands of its players.

SUPERENALOTTO MYTHS

There are many myths that circulate online that create the impression that players can elude the odds and win big cash prizes betting on lotteries such as the SuperEnalotto. Don’t be fooled by these myths and use common sense when betting on any lottery.

Here are 10 common lottery myths:

Myth 1: You stand a better chance of winning the lottery if you use Quick Pick

The lottery system draws numbers using a random algorithm and numbers picked manually or using Quick Pick have an equal chance of being drawn. There is no proof that Quick Pick creates more winners. Quick Pick is convenient and saves you from having to come up with your own numbers all the time.

Myth 2: Every number combination has the same probability

The thinking is that when you combine numbers, the probability changes and the probability of your number combination depends on its structure. Some combinations will appear more often than others and some combinations are not likely to appear.

Myth 3: You can pick winning numbers by studying past lottery results

The lottery does not work on individual numbers. You have to pick 5 or 6 correct numbers to win a cash prize. The thinking is if you look at combination patterns rather than individual numbers and you use mathematics with binomial coefficients and a detailed probability analysis, it is possible to determine winning number combinations.

Myth 4: You cannot predict winning numbers on a lottery game

The thinking is that you can tell how a pattern performs in a given number of draws by multiplying probability by the number of draws to get the estimation.

Myth 5: Picking hot numbers gives you a better chance of winning

This is where players pick the most common numbers that have occurred in the past 100 draws. According to the probability theory, every number has an equal chance of being drawn but if a single number appears at a higher frequency, then the other numbers will occur more or less in the same frequency over a large number of trials.

Myth 6: The best time to play the lottery is when the jackpot is big

Actually, this is the ‘worst time’ to play the lottery because big jackpots attract substantially more lottery players. There’s a good chance that if you win a big payout on a lottery with a big jackpot, you will have to share it with other lucky winning players.

Myth 7: Number 13 is an unlucky number

This is an ‘old-wives’ tale because there are no unlucky or unlucky numbers. All numbers have the same theoretical probability of being drawn.

Myth 8: Prime numbers are drawn more often

Again, the argument is to look at number combinations rather than individual numbers. What is known is that playing all-odd numbers or all-even numbers reduces your chance of winning a lottery payout because numbers like this in a combination rarely occur.

Myth 9: It’s not a good idea to use dates for special occasions

Lottery experts tell you not to use numbers that are dates for birthdays, anniversaries or your children’s ages because they are poor numbers. It’s not because they’re poor numbers but because they’re likely to be used by many other people. This means that a jackpot payout will be shared with many players.

Myth 10: Select numbers using a visual pattern

The only reason you would pick numbers on a board using a pattern such as a zig-zag or up-down-sideways pattern is if you’ve run out of inspiration to manually pick your own numbers. In this case, use the QuickPick option and the machine will randomly generate numbers for you.

LOTTERY SCAMS

SuperEnalotto is not a scam and is a legal lottery offered by a legitimate lottery commission in Italy called the Sisal Group. This means you can play SuperEnalotto with the confidence that the big jackpot payout and cash winnings from the prize tiers are guaranteed.

On a general note, don’t be taken by any of lottery scam that promises you unexpected prize money for a competition or lottery that you have never entered.

Operators of state lotteries such as SuperEnalotto will never contact you directly to notify you of a prize you have won. If you receive a message or phone call telling you that you’ve won a prize, it is a scam. Never give out your personal and identity details if requested and never pay a fee to receive a so-called cash prize.

How lottery scams work

Someone contacts you either by email, text message or phone to say you have won a lot of money on a competition using your name and details from something like a promotion or research survey. You are requested to pay a fee to claim your prize which is to cover the cost of transferring the money to your account.

You’re also asked to provide your banking details where the money should be paid out. The email or text is always ‘urgent’ and you’re told to respond quickly or risk losing out on the prize money.

The scammers make money from the ‘fee’ you pay them or they use your banking details to take wipe out your bank account.

People do fall for these lottery scams because the scammers are masters at what they do. They usually have obtained your personal information which makes it sound like a legitimate deal. Sometimes, the scammers even send you money as ‘part of your winnings’. This cheque will bounce but often only after you have given them more information and money they ask for.

Warning signs of a lottery scam

You receive correspondence via email, text or phone to say you’ve won a guaranteed prize in a lottery or competition but you never bought a ticket or entered the competition.

The scammer claims you are a winner using personal email and social media information that makes it look genuine.

To claim your prize, the scammers ask you to buy pay a fee or tax on the prize money.

You’re asked to provide personal details such as your ID and contact details such as a postal address as well as banking details for the electronic transfer.

What to do if you are approached by a lottery scammer

Ignore anything that is suspicious. Do not even reply to a message saying you’ve won a large cash prize or even something like a fancy holiday, electronic goods or gifts.

Never pay a fee to win a prize. Ithuba National Lottery does not charge a fee for any prize-winning transaction and the only way they can access your banking details is from the authorised Prize Claim Form that you are required to complete.

Don’t trust anyone who asks you to send them money or give your credit card, banking details or copies of personal information in exchange for prize money.
