A video explaining how to play Lotto India.
You win prizes if the numbers you pick match the winning numbers. The jackpot is worth $591,000 and you win it by matching all six main numbers plus the Joker Ball. If more than one player matches all the numbers, the jackpot is shared between all the winners.
You can also win prizes for matching fewer than all the numbers drawn. If you match two or more numbers then you will also win a prize.
The following table shows all the different ways you can win prizes and the amounts each are worth:
Match | Prize* | Odds |
---|---|---|
6 + Joker Ball | Jackpot | 1 in 79,453,500 |
6 Main Numbers | $8,000 | 1 in 19,863,375 |
5 Main Numbers | $1,000 | 1 in 75,240 |
4 Main Numbers | $50 | 1 in 1,400 |
3 Main Numbers | $5 | 1 in 75 |
2 Main Numbers | $0.50 | 1 in 10 |
0 + Joker Ball | Free Bet Bonus | 1 in 5 |
*The prizes are converted to USD from EUR, which means these values are an estimate and can vary depending on the exchange rate.
The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 3, while the overall odds of winning the Free Bet Bonus are 1 in 5.
The Joker ball cannot be used as a subtitute for a main number when it comes to winning a prize. So matching one main number and the Joker ball does not win the prize for matching 2 main numbers, and so on up the table. The numbers must be from the 6 selected that are shown in white on the results page.
