The German Lotto Super Number
Beyond the six main numbers, German Lotto draws a single Superzahl — a super number — from 0 to 9. It is the digit that decides the top jackpot and sets 6aus49 apart — here is what it does.
What the Superzahl is
The Superzahl is a single digit drawn from 0 to 9, separate from the six main numbers from 1 to 49. In the German game, your ticket carries one Superzahl, and to take the top jackpot you need all six main numbers and the matching Superzahl. Because it is only one digit from ten possibilities, it is what makes the full German jackpot so much harder than matching the six main numbers alone.
How it shapes the prize tiers
The Superzahl splits the higher prize tiers in German Lotto: matching six main numbers with the Superzahl is the jackpot, while six without it is a large second-tier prize. When you bet online through Lucky Numbers, the Superzahl can feature as its own fixed-odds market, with the terms shown before you confirm. See the German Lotto guide for the full picture, or odds and payouts for how markets are priced.
