The Superenalotto prize you win is paid without any taxes being deducted. Although it is undeniable that the Italian Treasury is cutting off a large share of the lottery revenues from the very beginning, nevertheless, you get the full amount of the prize you won and do not bear the burden of deduction of taxes from the income received to the state treasury. Instead, the proceeds from ticket sales go to the development of the Italian economy.
Since the game Superenalotto plays a combination of 6 out of 90, your chance to win the jackpot is one of 622,614,630. However, there is good news - you have the opportunity to win many other Superenalotto prizes, even if the jackpot slipped out of your hands. Due to the frequent transfer of the prize pool, the potential jackpot reaches an enormous size and provides an opportunity to disrupt one of the most significant jackpots in the world.

However, in July 2009, the rules changed. Now the numbers are chosen by a lottery machine, which is the most traditional modern method of playing the lottery.
