SuperEnalotto jackpot rises to 34,800,000.00 euros

As the estimated jackpot for the upcoming SuperEnalotto draw climbs to 34,800,000.00 euros. According to reporting from Jen, that latest draw yielded no winning tickets for the top '6' prize or the '5+1' tier. However, six players managed to match five numbers, securing a payout of 28,421.35 euros each.

According to Jen, the minimum ticket requires playing one column containing a combination of six numbers, which costs 1 euro. Players can also add the Superstar number for an additional 0.50 cents, bringing the minimum baseline play to 1.5 euros. Larger entries, such as share-based systems allowing multiple participants to pool resources, can reach up to 27,132 columns, with individual shares available for 5 euros. If players opt for multiple columns, they simply multiply the number of columns by 1.5 to calculate the total cost of the play.

Prize tiers in the game scale according to how many numbers a player correctly guesses, and amounts fluctuate based on the overall jackpot pool. Matching two numbers yields about 5 euros, three numbers return around 25 euros, and four numbers net approximately 300 euros. Hitting five numbers increases the payout to around 32 thousand euros, while hitting 5 numbers + 1 yields approximately 620 thousand euros. Participants can verify past or present tickets using the SuperEnalotto App or by consulting an online archive covering the numbers and prizes from the last 30 draws.

Historical reporting from Metro and RTE outlines past records where enormous rollovers drove Italian lottery prizes to historic highs. In a notable prior instance, an unnamed player from Italy scooped a massive 209 million euro jackpot (reported by some outlets as £193 million) after the prize rolled over repeatedly from June 2018 onward. That winning ticket, purchased for just 2 euros, was bought at Marino's bar in the northern city of Lodi near Milan. According to RTE, the winner had chosen the numbers at random from a lottery machine at the bar.

Recalling the atmosphere surrounding that historic win, bar manager Guglielmo Poggi spoke to Italian media about the frenzy of ticket sales. As reported by Metro, Poggi noted that he had no idea who bought the ticket and stated: There was a constant flow today, people were coming in and asking for a ticket at random. Rte also captured Poggi's comments in greater detail, quoting him as saying:

"How can we know who bought it ... There was a constant flow today, people were coming in and asking for a ticket at random. And I printed it (the winning ticket), I printed it."

That monumental 2019 win shattered previous benchmarks, surpassing the former SuperEnalotto record of 177 million euros won in October 2010 by a syndicate. It also beats any EuroMillions win, where the jackpot is limited to 190 million euros. RTE noted that the 190 million euro EuroMillions cap has been won three times: in Britain in August 2012, in Portugal in October 2014, and in Spain in October 2017. Additional international context from RTE highlights that an Irish ticket holder won a EuroMillions jackpot worth 175 million euros in February of that year, while an anonymous player in the US state of South Carolina won a jackpot of $1.537 billion in the country's Mega Millions draw. Furthermore, Metro pointed out that the 2019 Italian winner beat the record previously set by former couple Colin and Chris Weir from Scotland, who won £161 million on the EuroMillions in 2011.

Participants continue to purchase entries via approved retail terminals and digital platforms, checking their combinations against the official winning numbers 5, 12, 28, 41, 56, 66; Jolly Number 73; SuperStar 42 drawn on 1 October 2026, as documented by Jen.
