Lotto
Lotto is one of several Maltese lottery games, with a variety of different ways to play.
Draws take place once a week on Saturdays at 19:45 local time. If Saturday is a public holiday, the draw takes place the preceding Friday instead or the following Monday. Ticket sales close one hour before the draw takes place.
Entry costs €2.00 for the traditional Quaterno Plus element of the game, with players having a choice between €0.50, €1.00, €2.00 or €3.00 for the Lotto draw.
To play Quaterno Plus, choose five numbers between 1 and 90, or go for a Quick Pick for randomly generated numbers.
System Entry is available for the purchase of additional sets of numbers to increase the chances of winning, albeit for a higher ticket price.
In addition to playing the traditional lottery game, wagers can be placed on a specific set of numbers. Each of these games has a different name, with players marking their choice on the ticket.
Options:
- Prima: choose one number
- Ambo: choose two numbers
- Terno: choose three numbers
- Terno-Ambo: choose three numbers, which go into the draw as one Terno plus three Ambo combinations, with the wager split across each element.
Jackpot
Quaterno Plus has a minimum jackpot of €250,000, with the jackpot increasing by a minimum of €10,000 each time due to this being a rollover lottery.
The maximum jackpot for the Lotto game is 3,500 times the stake for matching three numbers, for example, resulting in a win of €10,500 for a €3.00 stake.
Matching two numbers wins 215 times the stake, while matching a single number wins 60 times the stake.

The odds of winning the main jackpot in the Quaterno Plus game are 1 in 784,808, which are excellent odds for a lottery, albeit for a modest prize.
The odds of winning the top Lotto prize are 1 in 11,748.
