Italian Lotteries Compared

Italian lotteries include jackpot games, daily number draws, annual ticket lotteries and scratch cards, with entry prices and prize structures that differ from one game to another (Italian lottery overview). This guide compares the main options using the cost of one entry, the regular draw schedule and the odds of winning the highest prize category.

The figures below were checked on 14 October 2026. Prices refer to the Italian base game, without optional paid extras unless stated; draw times are local to Italy, and the schedules are regular schedules rather than a guarantee for exceptional or rescheduled draws.

Italian lottery comparison: ticket prices, draws and top-prize odds

Read “1 in” as the chance attached to one entry in one draw: the smaller the second number, the greater the chance. However, a better chance of winning a top prize does not mean that the prize is larger, or that the game offers better value.

How the main Italian lotteries differ

SuperEnalotto and Eurojackpot: comparing jackpot odds

SuperEnalotto’s six-number jackpot odds are 1 in 622,614,630, while Eurojackpot’s 5 + 2 jackpot odds are 1 in 139,838,160 (SuperEnalotto prize table, Eurojackpot prize table). Eurojackpot therefore has the greater jackpot probability per entry, but the base entry also costs twice as much: €2 rather than €1 (Eurojackpot rules, SuperEnalotto FAQ).

For a closer look at the rules, visit our SuperEnalotto guide or Italian Eurojackpot guide. Treat the comparison as a description of the games, not a recommendation to buy more entries.

MillionDAY, VinciCasa and Win for Life: different kinds of top prize

MillionDAY awards a €1 million top prize for matching five numbers on a standard five-number entry (MillionDAY FAQ). VinciCasa’s €500,000 first-category prize has a specific structure: €300,000 is allocated to purchasing property in Italy, with €200,000 payable in cash (VinciCasa prize rules).

Win for Life Classico offers up to €3,000 per month for 20 years, rather than an unlimited lifetime income (Win for Life prize table). Read our MillionDAY guide, VinciCasa guide and Win for Life guide for the individual formats.

SiVinceTutto and Lotteria Italia: two different draw models

SiVinceTutto distributes its entire prize pool across the winning categories instead of carrying an unclaimed six-number prize into a later draw (SiVinceTutto prize rules). Its official table gives €100,000 as an expected average prize when the six-number category is won, not as a guaranteed jackpot (SiVinceTutto prize table).

Lotteria Italia’s 2026 edition has its final draw on 6 January 2027 (official Lotteria Italia website). Its regulations describe an initial issue of 12.6 million tickets and the possibility of additional series, but do not provide a definitive numerical winning probability; the initial print run should not simply be presented as the final top-prize odds (2026 regulations).

Lotto, 10eLotto and other Italian lottery games

Some games do not have a single meaningful “jackpot chance” because the probability depends on the type of bet. The examples below specify the selection or prize category so that a small-number bet is not confused with the hardest combination.
