Italy Lotto Results, Jackpots, & Fun Facts!

About Lotto in Italy

Three of the biggest lotteries in Italy include: SuperEnalotto, Lotto, and MillionDAY. Each of these lotteries is operated by a different governing body.

Sisal is the organization that is in charge of SuperEnalotto, arguably the most popular of all the Italian lotteries. The company, which was founded in 1946, is responsible for promoting and conducting the thrice-a-week game. Sisal also provides other games of chance and payment services.

In the case of Italy's Lotto game, the governing body is known as Lottomatica SpA – a government-licensed Italian company that was launched in 1990. Please note that sometimes Lotto is referred to as Lottomatica, but its full name is actually Il Gioco del Lotto.

Finally, MillionDAY is operated by International Game Technology PLC, a worldwide provider of lotteries, gaming machines, and a variety of online and offline betting games. The company launched MillionDAY in Italy last February 2018.

List of Italian Lotteries

SuperEnalotto with SuperStar

Notorious for being the most difficult lottery in the world to win, SuperEnalotto has truly unbelievable odds of winning and equally unbelievable jackpots. Starting at €2 million, the SeperEnalotto grand prize rolls over every draw, has no maximum ceiling, and is among the biggest as far as lotteries go.

To play the base game, you just have to pick 6 numbers from 1 to 90. Match all the numbers with the official draw and you're on your way to millions. A seventh, bonus Jolly number is also drawn to determine secondary prize winners.

One of the more popular game modes, SuperStar, introduces an additional number to be matched. This number is drawn from a separate pool and could award players with even greater prizes.

SuperEnalotto has draws every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evening at 8:00 PM CET.

Italy Lotto

Il Gioco del Lotto, or simply Lotto, is offered exclusively in Italy by Lottomatica. The game features relatively better odds of winning, but also much smaller jackpots.

The jackpot is capped at €6 million, and roll overs do not occur. It also has separate draws that take place independently. The first takes place in Rome, which also covers Florence and Cagliari. The second is in Milan, which covers Geona, Turin, and Venice. And the third one in Naples covers Bari and Palermo.

Regardless of drawing location however, all Italy Lotto draws take place on the same days: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 8:00 PM CET.

MillionDAY

The newest game to make it to this list, Italy's MillionDAY lottery has quickly grown in popularity due to its favorable odds of winning and impressive grand prize.

Just pick 5 numbers from 1 to 55 and you can take home the €1 million jackpot. Secondary prizes are also up for grabs.

MillionDAY has draws every evening at 7:00 PM CET.
