Chance someone wins this draw
i
At a jackpot of 30 million euros, Germany typically sees 70 to 90 million ticket lines played. The chance of any one line hitting 6 correct plus the super number is 1 in 140 million. From those two numbers, you can roughly estimate the probability that someone will hit class 1 in this draw. The owl calculates, she promises nothing. When the chance sits at 60 percent, the jackpot rolls over in 4 out of 10 draws.
Once the class 1 jackpot (six correct plus super number) reaches 50 million euros and nobody wins in that draw, the entire amount is paid out in the next class with winners. That's the maximum jackpot rule, set by the German Lotto- und Totoblock since November 2023.

Jackpot history of the last 12 draws
The line rises with every draw in which nobody hits 6 correct plus the super number. It drops when the jackpot is cracked.
How does the jackpot actually work?
Every draw, a fixed share of stakes goes into the prize pool; for Lotto 6aus49, that's about half. The other half goes to lottery tax (16.7 percent of the stake), state concession fees, processing and distribution costs. With a game volume of 30 million euros, roughly 15 million end up in the nine prize classes.
Class 1 (6 correct plus super number) receives about 12.8 percent of that. If nobody hits it, and that's the norm because the chance per line is 1 in 140 million, the share rolls untouched into the next draw. That's how the jackpot grows week after week.
An example: the jackpot stands at 12 million, nobody has 6 correct plus the super number, and the next draw pulls in another 30 million in stakes. Of that, around 1.9 million go into class 1. The new pool holds roughly 12 + 1.9 = nearly 14 million. What you then see as a “14 million jackpot” on posters and in TV spots is no marketing wishful number, it's exactly this calculation.
Since November 2023 there's a cap: at 50 million euros the climb ends. If the jackpot is still unsolved in that draw, the entire amount is paid out to the next-lower prize class with winners, usually class 2 (6 correct without the super number). The class 1 pot then resets to one million.
