Italy's Lotto and Superenalotto: September 19 Results
Listen to the story
On Saturday, 19 September 2026, Italy held its regular lottery draws for three popular games.
The games were Lotto, Superenalotto, and 10eLotto, all run on the same day.
Millions of Italians take part in these draws every week, hoping to win cash prizes.
In this draw, no player managed to match all six numbers in Superenalotto.
No one matched five numbers plus the special extra number either.
This meant the top jackpot was not won this time.
However, seven players did match five numbers correctly.
These winners will receive a smaller cash prize, based on the game's payout rules.
The exact amount depends on the quota, or prize share, for that category.
Because no one won the jackpot, the prize money will roll over.
This means the jackpot for the next draw will be even bigger.
Superenalotto jackpots in Italy can sometimes reach tens of millions of euros.
The 10eLotto draw happens alongside Lotto results, using the same numbers.
It offers players another chance to win with different bet types.
The next official draw is expected within the coming days.
Fans of the game will be watching closely to see if the growing jackpot is finally won.
