Until 30 June 2009 the six main winning numbers were taken from the first number drawn in Lottomatica's regional Lotto draws for the cities of Bari, Florence, Milan, Naples, Palermo & Rome (used in that order).
Besides the jackpot, SuperEnalotto has five prize categories that players can win.
Under the old rules it was taken from the National Lotto [it] draw in Rome (Ruota Nazionale); under the new rules it is drawn in a separate draw independently from the 6 main numbers and the "Jolly" number.
For a nationwide lottery offering prizes in millions, SuperEnalotto is the most difficult game in the world in terms of hitting the jackpot judging by the odds mentioned above[citation needed].
The lottery is also appealing to players because winnings are taxed at only 20% on the excess over 500 euros, with tax withheld at the time of payout[3] and jackpot winners have the option for a lump sum or annuity payment.
The largest jackpot ever won is worth 371,133,424.51€, split between 90 winners, on 16 February 2023.
