Record SuperEnalotto Jackpot of €371 Million is Won

Record SuperEnalotto Jackpot of €371 Million is Won

After almost two years without a winner, the SuperEnalotto jackpot was finally given away in Thursday night’s draw. It was the biggest win of all time and was worth €371 million.

The winning numbers for Thursday 16th February were 1, 38, 47, 52, 56 and 66. The Jolly was 72 and the SuperStar 23. Go to the SuperEnalotto Results page to see a full prize breakdown.

There was only one ticket that hit all six main numbers. This winning ticket was actually a ‘board of systems’ set up by lottery operator Sisal, and consisted of 90 shares that were sold all over the country.

Campania proved to be the luckiest region, with 14 quotas out of the 90. There were nine each in Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Sicily and Calabria, and seven each in Lazio, Lombardy, Marche and Puglia.

Elsewhere, there were four shares sold in Liguria, Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna, three in Tuscany, two in Veneto and Abruzzo, and one each in Tretino Alto Adige and Umbria.

Each lucky player will receive more than €4 million when they come forward to claim. The deadline is 90 days from the draw date.

Lottery jackpots are taxed at 20 percent in Italy, so around €74 million of the total €371 million will return to state coffers.

Biggest Win in History

The jackpot had been building since it was last won in May 2021 by a player from Montappone in Fermo, Marche,

In May of last year, it went past the previous record for the biggest win in history, which was €209 million. That record dated back to August 2019 and belonged to a player from Lodi in Lombardy.

The jackpot then quickly became the largest ever seen in Europe, surpassing EuroMillions, which currently has a limit of €240 million.

There is no cap in SuperEnalotto, so it continued to climb for so long that it finally ended up being almost double the amount of the previous record.

Even though the jackpot has only just been won, an impressive €54.7 million will still be offered in the next draw on Saturday. A small percentage of the prize fund is held in reserve every time there is no winner, so after more than a year and a half of rollovers there is a substantial starting pot for the next jackpot run.

You can take part in the next draw by visiting an authorised retailer in Italy or playing online
