10eLotto: Italy’s Flexible Daily Number Game
10eLotto draws 20 winning numbers from a pool of 90. You pick anywhere from one to ten numbers, choose one of three draw formats, and win according to a fixed prize table rather than a rolling jackpot. Matching all ten of ten is a 1 in 30,963,246 shot — twenty times better than the SuperEnalotto jackpot, for a far smaller prize.

What 10eLotto is
10eLotto sits in the Italian Lotto family but plays nothing like it. Twenty numbers come out of 90. You decide in advance how many numbers to put on your slip — one, ten, or anything between — and your prize depends on how many of yours appear among those twenty.
There is no jackpot that grows week after week. Payouts come from a fixed table set by the operator, driven by four things: how many numbers you picked, how many matched, your stake, and whether you added an option to the ticket. That makes it closer to keno than to a conventional lottery.
The practical consequence: picking fewer numbers makes each individual hit more likely but caps what you can win. Picking ten opens the top prize and makes a full match very hard. Neither approach is better value — they are different bets.
How to play 10eLotto
Read the ticket before you walk away from the counter. The draw type and time are printed on it, and that is what decides which result applies to you.
The three draw formats
This choice is what sets 10eLotto apart from everything else Italy runs.
| Draw type | How it works | When you get the result |
|---|---|---|
| Every five minutes | A central system produces a fresh set of 20 numbers on a continuous cycle through the day. | At the five-minute draw you entered |
| Immediate | A result is generated for your ticket alone, at the moment it is processed. | Straight away, at purchase |
| Evening (Lotto-linked) | The 20 numbers are taken from the numbers drawn on the Lotto wheels. | After the evening Lotto draw |
How the evening draw borrows from Lotto
The evening 10eLotto result is built from the first numbers drawn on the ten regional Lotto wheels, with the National wheel left out. Those ten feed into one combined 20-number 10eLotto result — not a separate result per wheel, which is how Lotto itself works. A Lotto ticket is not a 10eLotto ticket. You buy them separately, and a 10eLotto play is settled under its own prize table.
Numero Oro, Doppio Oro and Extra
These optional add-ons change the ticket price and the applicable prize table. Ask for the current payout table at the counter before adding one.
Adds one designated “gold” number to the draw, opening extra prize tiers for tickets that hit it. You have to select it when you buy — raising your stake does not switch it on by itself.
The same idea with two gold numbers instead of one. What you are paid depends both on how many of your chosen numbers matched and on whether you caught one gold number or both.
10eLotto odds, calculated
Plenty of pages say the odds “depend on your selection” and leave it there. They are perfectly calculable. With twenty numbers drawn from ninety, here is what a ten-number ticket faces:
| Numbers matched | Odds per ticket (10-number play) |
|---|---|
| 10 of 10 | 1 in 30,963,246 |
| 9 of 10 | 1 in 486,565 |
| 8 of 10 | 1 in 18,804 |
| 7 of 10 | 1 in 1,348 |
| 6 of 10 | 1 in 161 |
| 5 of 10 | 1 in 30 |
| 4 of 10 | 1 in 9 |
Two things stand out. The top tier at 1 in 31 million is roughly twenty times more reachable than the SuperEnalotto jackpot at 1 in 622 million. And 93% of ten-number tickets match at least one number, which is why the game feels generous even when the ticket is worth nothing.

What 10eLotto actually pays
Because the prizes are fixed rather than pooled, big wins are rarer and smaller than SuperEnalotto’s, but they do happen. In March 2026 a player in Ragusa, Sicily, matched all ten numbers on a €3 stake and took €1 million.
That is the shape of the game at its best: a seven-figure payout from a three-euro ticket, with no rollover involved. Prize tables, maximum payouts and permitted stakes are revised periodically, so treat any specific figure as a snapshot and check the current rules before you count on it. Tax is deducted at source. See our page on tax on Italian lottery winnings.

Frequently asked questions
Is it 10Lotto or 10eLotto?
10eLotto is the official name. “10e Lotto” and “10 lotto” turn up constantly in searches and mean the same game.
How many numbers do you choose?
Between one and ten, from a pool of 90. The draw produces 20 winning numbers.
How often is 10eLotto drawn?
Depends on the format. Every five minutes through the day, instantly on an immediate ticket, or once in the evening alongside the Lotto draw.
Is 10eLotto the same as Italian Lotto?
No. The evening result is derived from Lotto numbers, but 10eLotto has its own ticket, its own selection method, its own options and its own prize table.
Does 10eLotto have a jackpot?
No rolling jackpot. Prizes come from a fixed table, so what you can win is set before the draw by your stake, your selection and any options you added.
Can statistics predict the next result?
No. Statistics describe past draws; they cannot make a number more likely to come out next time. Each draw is independent of every one before it, and no selection system changes that.
