How does LOTTO work?
You can play LOTTO 6aus49 online (LOTTO.de) or with a ticket at any acceptance point of the German lottery and lottery companies.
The rules of the game are just as simple. There are 12 betting fields on each lottery ticket, each with 49 numbers. You then have to tick six numbers on one of these tip fields. The super number is the last digit of the ticket number.
Every Wednesday (6:25 p.m.) and Saturday (7:25 p.m.) six numbers plus one super number are determined in a random process. You have won if at least two of the winning numbers plus the super number match the numbers you selected.
You will receive the maximum winnings, i.e. the LOTTO jackpot, if the numbers you have selected match the drawn numbers completely. The chances of this happening are 1 in 140 million.
