Best German Lotto Lottery in 2023

The year is 1955, and it is a time of enormous technological developments and significant cultural revolutions. German Lotto 6Aus49 was also born this year when four German states formed a cooperation to run this famous lottery game.

The first draw of Lotto 6Aus49 was in Hamburg on September 10, 1955, with a drum constructed of wood and glass. The game entered the contemporary era on September 4, 1965, when the draws were televised live. The draw was broadcast on television until 2013 and is currently streamed live from the Saarländischer Rundfunk studio on the internet.

In 1974, the Deutscher Lotto- und Totoblock (DTLB) became operational as more German states joined Lotto 6Aus49. Lotteriefegescllschaften groups together 16 lotteries. The DTLB has a reputation for its charity work, with donations of over €23 million made to local causes.

Present Day

Since its launch, this engaging game has become ingrained in German society, defining itself as one the most famous games because of its pricing, simple gameplay, and high jackpots. The 6Aus49 lottery distributes nearly five billion euros in prizes each year. It's no surprise that this lottery is a solid favorite among German players, with a record €45.3 million award won by three lucky winners in 2007. In 2006, one player won the €42.6 million jackpot, which was the biggest single-ticket jackpot win ever.

A few weeks later, Lotto 6Aus49 saw its second-highest jackpot win for a single lottery ticket online, with a €37.7 million prize won by a lucky player. Lotto 6Aus49 guarantees a one million euros jackpot during the week and three million euros at the weekend.

Individuals can play the Germany Lotto by picking six numbers from one to 49 and one extra number from zero to nine.

Individuals see a copy of the lottery tickets they bought online before the relevant evening's draw as part of the Lottery's See-Your-Ticket Service. The draws happen every Saturday at 7:25 CET in the evening and Wednesday at 6:25 pm CET.

There are nine great prize divisions in the German Lotto, five of which involve the Super Number. The Super Number, also known as the "Superzahl," is a supplementary number using a prediction range of zero to nine to determine the German Lotto jackpot reward and the third, fifth, seventh, and ninth prize divisions.

Jackpot Rollover

In early 2009, the German Lotto 6aus49 adopted a rule adjustment that limited the length of a rollover streak to thirteen draws. Another adjustment was made in August 2020, with the jackpot reward rolling over until it reaches a ceiling of 45 million euros.

Once the jackpot reaches the cap, every next draw that features a jackpot must be won. When no tickets match the entire six main digits in addition to the bonus Super Number in that draw, the prize pool is divided among the subsequent biggest prize division recipients.

The Spiel77 game correlates to all seven digits of the serial number, and to win, the numbers must not only match but also be in the same sequence as the chosen numbers. Match all seven in the correct order to win the rolling jackpot, which starts at €177,777 and regularly exceeds one or two million with rollovers.

There are six other prize classes with predetermined values to be won. The second prize is €77,777, which is won by combining the last six numbers in the correct order.

Super6 functions similarly to Spiel77, except that only six numbers are drawn. The final six digits of participants' serial numbers relate to these numbers. One must again match the correct numbers, which must be in the same order as those drawn. There are six fixed-value prizes, beginning with a 100 million euros guaranteed jackpot.

Finally, the GlücksSpirale draw happens on Saturdays. To win, players must replicate both the digits and the pattern of their drawing based on their serial number. Players can win 10 euros only by matching the last number on the GlücksSpirale. Also, one can win 100,000 euros if they correctly match the last six digits.
