Why Our Jackpots Are Sometimes Even Bigger
Explained: Special Jackpots at Lottoland

Ever seen a jackpot on our website that looks far bigger than what is listed in the info page for each of our products? Well, it's not a typo. It’s what we call a Special Jackpot. Special in size, special in nature, special in the timeframe it’s up to be won and Super-Special if you win it!
So how do we do it?
It’s all in the Lottoland Exclusive Insurance Based Betting Model
Big Jackpots are typically bumped up by an accumulation of money that hasn’t been won, sometimes called rollovers, and are normally a key ingredient in creating large jackpots.
But with the exclusive Lottoland Insurance Based Betting Model, we are not held to the jackpot size of ‘pool’ betting where the money put into the ‘pool’ by everyone determines the payouts. With the Lottoland Insurance Model we get to set the jackpots ourselves, in constant consultation with our insurance partners, to make sure you get access to biggest Jackpots around.
And our Special Jackpots are the top of this model where we work on Special Events or Special Times across the year where we can put in our exclusive Special Jackpots at Lottoland that are two, three or perhaps even four times bigger than the normal amount!
Guiness World Record™ Verified!
A World Record payout gives a fantastic insight into how Lottoland’s unique insurance model works at every level.
The way our model works is that every bet you place with Lottoland is insured, guaranteeing a payout if your numbers bring home a win. With Lottoland recently achieving a Guinness World Records™ achievement for the world’s biggest online gambling payout of €90 Million or AUD$137 Million we know the model works.
Lottoland pay all the lower tier wins directly from the revenue from sales of each lottery with the larger jackpots covered by the insurance on each of your bets.
THE BENEFITS OF Jackpot BETTING
Lottoland is all about Jackpot betting. It's like any other kind of betting really, you stake your money, you choose an outcome and, should you beat the odds, the house pays you out big – and in the case of Special Jackpots, we pay out Super-Big!
Lottoland’s Jackpot betting is based on having numbers of chance, taken from the Financial markets to ensure their independence, that you select to win huge Jackpots from. It’s like if you went to the bookies, but instead of betting on sports events, you bet on the opening numbers of a selection of listed Financial Indices.
But of course, Jackpot Betting is also nothing like betting with a local bookie because you can win hundreds of millions of dollars for a simple low initial stake (Our bets start at $1 per line but prices do increase relevant to the size of the jackpot you can win or when a jackpot hits a certain threshhold)!
Of course, since you're betting on a selection of numbers that are unknown to anyone until the Financial market opens, and since we're not held to smaller jackpots by ‘pool’ betting options, we can decide the size of the Jackpots. Which allows us to Super-Size up so you get to bet on Super-Sized Jackpots at times throughout the year!.
And that’s how Special Jackpots are delivered by Lottoland to you, and why we run them to coincide with special holidays, certain times of the year or special events.
WOW – SO WHEN'S THE NEXT ONE?
Ah! Well… One of the things that makes our Special Jackpots so special, other than their massive size of course, is that we like to keep them secret and then surprise our players with them throughout the year.
So if you're excited by the prospects of super-sized jackpots be sure to check in regularly and, if you're not doing so already, follow us on Facebook and Twitter, where you'll find lots of great promotions and payouts for all your favourite Jackpots.
