Ranking checked against the official SuperEnalotto historical records in August 2026. Future jackpots could change this list.
1. €371.1 Million – The Biggest Italian Lottery Jackpot Ever
The biggest SuperEnalotto jackpot in history was won on 16 February 2023, when the top prize reached an incredible €371,133,424.51.
But there is an important detail: this was not €371 million going into the bank account of one individual winner.
The winning play came from the Bacheca dei Sistemi, a system that allowed the winning combination to be divided into 90 shares.
As a result, the record jackpot was shared among 90 winning entries distributed across Italy.
How Much Did Each Share Win?
Dividing €371,133,424.51 by 90 gives a gross value of approximately €4.12 million per winning share.
This distinction is important when describing it as the biggest Italian lottery win: €371.1 million was the record jackpot, but it was shared rather than collected by a single player.
🤯 Did You Know?
The €371.1 million jackpot ended a wait of almost 21 months without a SuperEnalotto jackpot winner.
The previous winning “6” had been recorded on 22 May 2021 in Montappone. That long rollover period helped the jackpot grow beyond the previous €209 million record.
2. €209.16 Million – The Famous Lodi Winner
Before the €371 million record, the biggest SuperEnalotto jackpot ever won was €209,160,441.54.
The winning entry was recorded in Lodi, Lombardy, on 13 August 2019.
At the time, it broke the previous SuperEnalotto jackpot record and became one of the most famous lottery wins in Italian history.
Unlike the 2023 Bacheca dei Sistemi record, the Lodi jackpot is particularly interesting when looking for Italy’s biggest individual winning ticket.
From €209 Million to €371 Million
The Lodi record stood for several years. When the next extraordinary jackpot run developed between 2021 and 2023, SuperEnalotto eventually passed €209 million and continued climbing until the historic €371 million draw.
3. €177.73 Million – The 2010 Record Jackpot
On 30 October 2010, SuperEnalotto produced another historic jackpot worth €177,729,043.16.
Like the later €371 million record, this jackpot was won through the Bacheca dei Sistemi.
The system was divided into 70 shares distributed across 33 Italian municipalities.
The six winning numbers were: 4, 26, 40, 54, 55 and 67.
At the time, €177.7 million was the biggest SuperEnalotto jackpot ever won and represented a major new milestone for the Italian lottery.
More Huge Italian Lottery Winners
The top three are not the only SuperEnalotto prizes to exceed €100 million. Italy has produced several other nine-figure jackpot wins.
€163.5 Million – Vibo Valentia, 2016
On 27 October 2016, a SuperEnalotto jackpot worth approximately €163.54 million was won in Vibo Valentia in southern Italy.
€156.3 Million – Montappone, 2021
A jackpot of approximately €156.29 million was won in Montappone on 22 May 2021.
This jackpot became even more significant historically because no player would match all six numbers again until February 2023, when the record €371 million jackpot was finally won.
€147.8 Million – Bagnone, 2009
Bagnone, a small town in Tuscany, became part of Italian lottery history on 22 August 2009 when a SuperEnalotto jackpot worth approximately €147.81 million was won there.
The Newest €100 Million+ Winner
The most recent entry in the official SuperEnalotto top 10 is from 10 May 2024.
A jackpot worth €101,511,953 was won in Naples, making it one of the ten largest SuperEnalotto jackpots currently listed in the game’s official historical ranking.
As of August 2026, no later jackpot has displaced the historic €371.1 million, €209.16 million and €177.73 million top three.
Record ranking checked in August 2026. This section should be reviewed whenever a new SuperEnalotto jackpot exceeds €100 million.
How Did These Jackpots Get So Big?
The answer is the SuperEnalotto rollover system combined with the difficulty of matching all six main numbers.
A standard SuperEnalotto combination contains six numbers selected from 1 to 90. The mathematical probability of matching all six numbers with one standard combination is approximately:
1 in 622,614,630
When nobody matches all six numbers, the jackpot can roll over according to the game rules.
A long period without a jackpot winner can therefore result in a prize that grows into hundreds of millions of euros.

Are There Still Big SuperEnalotto Winners in 2026?
Yes. Even when nobody wins a €100 million jackpot, SuperEnalotto continues to produce substantial lower-tier prizes.
For example, in August 2026, an entry in Florence matched five main numbers and won €1,927,550.26.
Other recent wins include five-number prizes and SuperStar prizes worth tens of thousands of euros.
These are not large enough to enter the all-time jackpot top 10, but they show that major prizes are not limited to players who match all six numbers.

Was the €371 Million Jackpot Won by One Person?
No. This is one of the most important corrections to make when discussing Italy’s biggest lottery jackpot.
The €371,133,424.51 SuperEnalotto jackpot of February 2023 was won through a Bacheca dei Sistemi play divided into 90 winning shares.
So while €371.1 million remains the biggest jackpot in SuperEnalotto history, it should not be described as €371 million won by one individual.
What Is Bacheca dei Sistemi?
You may have noticed that Bacheca dei Sistemi appears more than once in the list of Italy’s largest lottery wins.
It is a system-play format in which a larger lottery system can be divided into shares. Multiple participants can therefore hold winning shares in the same system.
That is why some record SuperEnalotto jackpots represent one enormous jackpot but many individual winning shares.
Do Winners Keep the Entire Advertised Prize?
Not necessarily. Lottery taxation and withholding rules can affect the amount ultimately received by a winner.
Tax rules can also change over time, so historical jackpot amounts should not automatically be interpreted as the exact net amount that reached a winner’s bank account.
