A single SuperEnalotto entry costs €1. You can also add the SuperStar number for an additional €0.50, giving you more chances to win.

The SuperStar is an extra number between 1 and 90 drawn from a second drum. You can try to match it at an additional cost of €0.50 per combination, which increases both your chances of winning and the value of your prizes. Visit the SuperStar page for more information.

Yes. Since the SuperStar is drawn from a different drum than the main draw, it is possible to play the same number both as a main number and as the SuperStar.

If you match all six main numbers plus the SuperStar, you win both the jackpot and a €2 million bonus, known as the SuperBonus. You can also win a SuperBonus by matching five main numbers plus the Jolly plus the SuperStar, in which case it is worth €1 million.

The SuperBonus was last awarded on Thursday 27 October 2016, when a player in Vibo Valentia (Calabria) won a total of €165.5 million — €163.5 million jackpot plus €2 million bonus. This can happen only once in every 56 billion draws. Visit the SuperStar page for more information.

Once all six main numbers are drawn, another number is selected from the remaining 84 numbers: this bonus number is called the Jolly. The Jolly provides additional chances to win prizes at no extra cost. You do not select the Jolly when purchasing your entries. Visit the Prizes page for more information.

Instant Wins are a separate game mode that allow you to win a prize at the time of purchase. The ticket features a Magic Square containing four numbers, and if they match some of the numbers in your six-number entry, you win €25.

If you win, keep your ticket, as you can still win further prizes in the main draw. Visit the Instant Wins page for more information.
