Half of all stakes go to prizes. The lowest class, 2 numbers and the Superzahl, pays a fixed €6.00. The jackpot class takes 15% of the prize money and rolls over when nobody wins it; the other classes share what is left after those two, at the percentages shown, equally among each class's winners. The Superzahl is not chosen: it is the last digit of the slip number, and one digit from 0 to 9 is drawn. A play costs €1.20 plus a handling fee per slip that differs from state to state. LOTTO.de publishes no starting jackpot, so the tools start from an assumed €1 million; type in the jackpot of the day.
Draws: Wednesday and Saturday.
What 1 in 139,838,160 means
Playing one line in every draw, 2 draws a week, you would wait on average about 1.3 million years for the jackpot.
About 42% of winning plays win only the smallest prize, €6, 5 times what the play costs.
How the odds are worked out
There are 13,983,816 ways to choose 6 numbers from 49, and 10 ways to choose the Superzahl, so there are 139,838,160 different plays. Exactly one wins the jackpot.
To match k of your 6 numbers, you need k of the 6 numbers drawn and 6 − k of the 43 numbers not drawn. That is C(6, k) × C(43, 6 − k) combinations, and the chance is that count divided by 13,983,816.
The Superzahl is drawn separately, so its chance multiplies the one above.
