With no first division winners in the July 21, 2009 Italian Superenalotto draw, the jackpot for Italy's popular lotto game has reached an enormous 102.5 Million Euros --- breaking its all-time record of 100.7 million euros.

The record was set in October of last year when a slip in Catania collected 100,765,193 euros.

The Italian game has had the highest pot in the world for several weeks. USA Powerball is now second with 74 million dollars up for grabs. Superenalotto's stratospheric pot has attracted a vastly growing number of betters both at home and abroad.

The advantage of the Italian game over others, especially those in America, is that SuperEnalotto pays out the full prize almost immediately, while US games give winners the pot in long-term instalments or pays a single, reduced prize.

Italian Superenalotto winners also receive interest on their winnings from the time they redeem their slips to when they receive full payment, which usually takes two months.

In order to win at SuperEnalotto, betters must choose the correct six numbers drawn from one to 90. The last time there was a winner was on January 31 and since then over 2.5 billion bets have been placed, translating into a total exceeding 1.25 billion euros.

There is also a 5+1 win, in which a seventh bonus number is drawn and can be added to any five of the original six-number combination. SuperEnalotto also pays out lower division prizes for five, four and three correct guesses.

SuperEnalotto, which made its debut in December 1997, has been a boon for Italy's state coffers which receive 49.5% of all bets made, far more than other national betting games which pay the Treasury between 20% and 25%. Draws are held three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
