An Exciting Year of Rollovers
The SuperEnalotto jackpot was last won on 23rd June 2018, when a system entry landed a €51.3 million prize. In the year since, the jackpot has rolled over for 158 consecutive draws, leading to the current sum. It beats a nine-year record for the highest ever SuperEnalotto jackpot, which was set in October 2010 when a syndicate from Milan shared €177.7 million.
It has come close to reaching the record since then, but it has always been won just before reaching the top. A player from Calabria won €163.5 million in October 2016, and just last year another ticket holder from Caltanissetta landed €130.2 million. The current record-breaking jackpot creates exciting times for lottery players in Italy and around the world, who might not see such a high SuperEnalotto jackpot for another decade.
Highest Jackpot In the World
It’s very rare that a national lottery game outside of the United States leads the way in prize money, but that’s just where SuperEnalotto find itself right now. Even Powerball and Mega Millions, the two US lotteries that hold world records for the biggest ever jackpots, are trailing behind at the moment, offering top prizes of $137 million and $71 million respectively.
Closer to home, the multinational European lotteries are also a long way behind: the EuroMillions jackpot sits at €56 million, while Eurojackpot is at €18 million, after being won just two weeks ago.
SuperEnalotto is often overshadowed by the more glamorous prizes offered by these lotteries, but right now, everyone should be playing Italy’s favourite lottery - and you can do so even if you’re not in the country.
How to Play SuperEnalotto From Outside Italy
Players in Italy have the luxury of being able to play online or drop into their local tobacconists to pick up a SuperEnalotto ticket, and if you’re planning on visiting Italy any time soon, you can do the same. You don’t have to be an Italian citizen to play; as long as you’re over 18 years of age, you’ll be able to purchase a ticket.
If you’re outside Italy and not planning a trip there any time soon, you can also get involved by enlisting the services of a ticket concierge or online lottery betting provider. When you enter online through a concierge service, a local agent in Italy will purchase a ticket on your behalf and scan it to your online account. Alternatively, you can bet on the outcome of the lottery; the rules and payouts are just the same as if you bought a ticket and in both cases you will be entitled to the full advertised prize without losing out to hidden fees or commissions.
