Historic Month For MillionDay
The daily MillionDay draw only launched on Wednesday 7th February but has quickly become popular with players throughout Italy. The recently-formed lottery costs just €1 to enter, offering 1 in 17 overall odds of winning a prize, and a 1 in 3,478,761 chance of landing a €1 million top prize.
The six MillionDay jackpot winners in May are tied with March as the draw’s most successful month for €1 million ticket holders, and one more winner before Friday 1st June would see May register the lottery’s highest number of millionaires since the draw began. April saw three winners become overnight millionaires, and one top prize player was crowned in the inaugural month of February.
A MillionDay player from Venice was May’s first seven-figure winner on Tuesday 1st May after playing the numbers 37, 12, 11, 7 and 53. This was quickly followed by an incredible draw on Friday 4th May which saw three ticket holders each scoop a €1 million post-tax windfall. The tickets were purchased from the Giorgia Staccone store in Frosinone, Livorno’s Giovanni Salvestri shop and Claudio Galeotti in Firenze.
May’s fifth and sixth MillionDay winners came in two successive draws on Saturday 19th May and Sunday 20th May, the first ever time this has happened. The winning tickets were bought in Muccia, Macerata, and Moncalieri, Torino.
One SuperEnalotto Jackpot Awarded This Year
The €130.1 million SuperEnalotto jackpot claimed by a player from Caltanissetta in April remains the lottery’s only top prize winner in 2018 so far. That was the fifth largest prize in the history of the game, although several players have got close to landing the jackpot in May. There have been 33 Match 5 winners so far, just one main number short from landing the jackpot, including five winners of €33,094 each in the draw on Tuesday 22nd May.
Become The Next Jackpot Winner
With more MillionDay and SuperEnalotto draws still to take place in May, further jackpot winners could be crowned before the month is over. MillionDay has a fixed jackpot amount worth €1 million, while the estimated SuperEnalotto jackpot for Thursday’s draw stands at €38.4 million.
