It's one of the biggest events in Europe, but for a very low price per line. It's also got huge prize money payouts, ten different prize tiers and a total of three additional bonus games.
The name 6 aus 49 literally translates as six out of 49. So once you know the name of the game you already know how to play it – how's that for German efficiency?
Once the main six numbers are drawn another bonus ball is drawn. This number corresponds to a pre-existing serial number. There are also up to three bonus games; with two events games drawn on Wednesdays and three drawn on Saturdays, for even more ways to win.
How do I choose a line and place a bet?
As its name suggests you simply choose six numbers from a range of one to 49 or select the QuickPick option (Quick+1) and numbers will be chosen for you. After this simply click Submit. This will take you through to a checkout. Take a moment to review your order then, when you're ready, click Confirm and proceed to place your bet.
How do I win?
On the night of the draw six regular numbers are drawn, followed by a Superball. To hit the tier 1 payout you must guess all six regular numbers plus the Superball number correctly.
Can I win all the same prizes playing with Lottoland?
Yes, you can win all the same main game prizes playing with us as you would in the official event.
How much does it cost?
A single line costs just R25. Be sure to check to see which bonus games, if any, you wish to play as these cost extra. Super6 costs R25; Spiel77 costs R50 and GlücksSpirale costs R100.
How much can I win?
The minimum base tier 1 prize is €1 million*(ZAR equivalent). Tier 1 prize sizes increase with regular rollovers and is not capped. The current record tier 1 payout is €45.4 million.
*Lottoland South Africa will payout the Rand equivalent of the Euro exchange rate at the time of the payout
When is the German Lotto event?
The German Lotto 6/49 is drawn every Wednesday at 19.25 and Saturday at 20:25 SAST *(Keeping in mind the time difference from summer to winter times and vice versa). You can find the latest as well as previous Winning Numbers on our German Lotto Results page.
What are the odds of winning?
The odds of winning the tier 1 prize are 1 in 139,838,160. A breakdown of all the odds for each prize tier, together with estimated returns, is included with the next answer.
How Important Is the Serial Number and How Is it Determined?
The serial number is an integral part of the German Lotto. On the physical printed tickets that they sell in Germany you will find this number pre-printed. They influence both the main game and the three bonus games.
At Lottoland we use the same number set and random number generation algorithm used on German Lotto tickets for our online bets. These are also independently audited to ensure they provide precisely the same number range and odds at all times.
How Does the Bonus Ball Work?
The Bonus Ball is drawn after the primary six numbers of the main lotto event are drawn. The Bonus Ball is required to win the German Lotto tier 1 prize money and the number corresponds to the last number of your serial number.
One advantageous option that Lottoland offers, that physical ticket players in Germany can't avail of, is the ability to select the last digit of your serial number. So, in other words, if you do want to change your Bonus Ball number you can.
How Do The Extra Games Work?
Spiel77 – or Game77 in English – is the first of three available events. The game corresponds to all seven digits of your serial number and the numbers must not only match, they also need to be in the same order as the drawn numbers to win.
Match all seven in the right order to hit the rolling payout, which starts at a minimum of €177,777*(ZAR equivalent) and, with rollovers, often exceeds one or two million. There are also six other prize divisions to be won, with fixed values. Second prize is won by matching the last six numbers in the right order, to win €77,777*(ZAR equivalent).
Super6 works in pretty much the same way as Spiel77, but only six numbers are drawn. These numbers correspond to the last six digits on your serial number. Once again you need to match the right numbers and they must be in the same sequence as those drawn. There are six fixed value prizes, starting with a guaranteed tier 1 payout of €100,000*(ZAR equivalent).
Finally, The GlücksSpirale (literally translated as "lucky spiral") is the last of the three German Lotto bonus events. The GlücksSpirale draw takes place on Saturdays only, so players should note that if they enable the GlücksSpirale option for a Wednesday draw they will, in fact, add this option for the upcoming Saturday event.
As with the other two bonus events the GlückSpirale is based upon your serial number and you must match both the numbers and the order of their drawing to win. Simply matching the last number on the GlücksSpirale will win you €10*(ZAR equivalent). All prize divisions have fixed values. Getting the last six numbers in the correct order will win you €100,000*(ZAR equivalent).
Most exciting of all, however, if you're lucky enough to match all seven numbers you will win a monthly prize of €10,000*(ZAR equivalent) paid out each and every month for 20 years.
*Lottoland South Africa will payout the Rand equivalent of the Euro exchange rate at the time of the payout.
