Until June 30, 2009 the six main winning numbers were taken from the first number drawn in Superenalotto ’s regional Lotto draws for the cities of Bari, Florence, Milan, Naples, Palermo & Rome (used in that order). The Venice draw was used as a “Jolly” number. If the first number of a city had been used before, then the second of the city’s draw was used - and so on. In this system there was a small probability that the numbers of two cities could be the same - in which case there would have been duplicate numbers and it would have been impossible to win the jackpot.
Since July 1, 2009 the numbers have been drawn independently of the Superenalotto draws. There is one single draw for the six winning numbers and the “Jolly” number and a second independent draw for the “SuperStar” number. The “Jolly” number gives an additional chance to those who have matched 5 numbers. If they also match the “Jolly” number, they’ll win a higher
“5+1″ prize.

Most lottery winners around the world are subject to two main constraints. The first and worst is the tax liability on the winnings which in some countries can hit 40%. The second is the inability (or restrictions) on collecting a lump sum. Many countries penalize winners if they choose a lump sum or incentivize to receive the winnings over 30 months (or 30 years in some cases) The only one that’s different is the Superenalotto.
If you’re lucky enough to win the Super enalotto online then you get to take home the complete prize. No monthly installments, no annual payments and certainly no local taxes.
Now if you want to try and be one of these lucky hassle and tax free winners, then you need to get with the program and buy your lottery tickets. If you’re not an Italian resident than you should look to buy your tickets for the super enalotto from an online lottery ticket company such as theLotter. All you need is a valid credit card and internet access.
