Lotto
Lotto is one of several popular lottery games played in the Netherlands.
Lotto draws take place once a week on Saturdays at 20:30 local time and are broadcast live on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and via the official app. Results are announced on national television and radio from 21:00 on draw days.
Tickets cost €2.00.
To play, choose six numbers between 1 and 45, or go for a Quick Pick for randomly generated selections. During the draw, a seventh number known as the Spare Number is drawn to decide secondary prizes.
Players can enter Lotto XL for an additional €1.00, utilizing their chosen Lotto numbers for a chance to win a €1 million jackpot by matching all six numbers. As with the main Lotto draw, secondary prize tiers are also available.
The last Saturday of every month is known as Super Saturday, when two Lotto draws are held for twice the opportunity to take home the jackpot. Players who enter both Super Saturday draws are automatically entered into an additional raffle draw for a chance to win €50,000.
Advance Play is available for up to 12 weeks at a time.
Subscriptions can be purchased to never miss a draw.
