Croatia - Loto 6

Loto 6

Loto 6 is one of several national lottery games played in Croatia.

Draws take place twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays at 20:00 local time and are broadcast live on national television from lottery operator headquarters in Zagreb. Ticket sales close at 18:30 local time on draw days and resume shortly afterwards.

Tickets cost HRK 2.00.

To play, choose six numbers between 1 and 45, or go for a Quick Pick for randomly generated selections.

In System Entry, players choose as many as 20 numbers to be entered into the draw in multiple combinations. This is a great way to increase the chances of winning, but also makes tickets expensive!

Entry into the additional Joker game costs HRK 5.00, with players receiving a random six-digit number for a chance to win the jackpot by matching these numbers in the order drawn.

Jackpot

Loto 6 does not have a minimum jackpot, with the top prize just a portion of the entire prize fund, which is determined by the number of tickets sold.

Loto 6 is a rollover lottery with no limits, nor restrictions to the size of the jackpot.

The biggest ever Loto 6 jackpot was HRK 16,584,320 in 1995.
