Italian biggest win at Italian Lottery Superenalotto
{{date|May 4, 2005}}
[[Image:1euro 2007.jpg|thumb|250px|The prize of [[w:Euro|€]]72.090.405,19 is after taxes]]
The Tuesday drawing of the Italian Superenalotto game has awarded the biggest prize ever won in a betting game in [[w:Italy|Italy]]. The single winner of the first category prize (6 numbers guessed) will receive an amount, including the jackpot from previous un-won draws, of [[w:Euro|€]]72.090.405,19 ([[w:United States dollar|US$]]93 million.) The prize money will be received in full without further taxation, since taxes in prizes of that type are taken at a fixed rate by the Italian State from the money paid for the bet.

The winning card was purchased in a café in [[:w:Milan|Milan]]. The betting game, in some respects similar to [[w:Powerball|Powerball]] in the [[w:USA|USA]], but without the special number, requires guessing 6 numbers out of 90.

There is not a drawing for the Superenalotto itself. Numbers are taken from the drawing of another Italian lottery game called the national Lotto. If you guess all 6 numbers in Superenalotto, you win the highest prize.

One additional number is drawn from the Lotto drawing. If you have guessed 5 numbers of the normal Superenalotto 6, where the additional number is called the Jolly number or Joker number, you win a runner-up prize (somewhat less than the full 6 award). Called the 5+1 prize, it was just won in the previous drawing on April 30. There are minor prizes for 5, 4 or 3 numbers guessed, but only the full 6 and 5+1 prize have the jackpot mechanism.
