$30 Million Saturday Lotto Megadraw Jackpot

Let’s start with our well-known annual Megadraw. This year, Saturday Lotto’s special draw will be held a day before New Years’ Eve, so prepare some extra champagne! This draw has the same rules, same prices and same odds of winning as the weekly draws. Except, of course, for the inflated jackpot of $30 million, to make the night even more magical!

The last edition of the Megadraw was held on December 31st of 2016 and 21 lucky winners started the year with over $1 million extra in the bank! The huge jackpot was fairly divided among several winners, creating 21 new Aussie millionaires overnight! 

$3 Billion Spanish Christmas Lottery Prize Pool

Once a year, just a few nights before Christmas on December 22nd, Spain comes together in anticipation to watch the famous El Gordo draw. With a prize pool of over $3.2 billion, El Gordo de Navidad (Spanish Christmas Lottery) spreads wealth amongst hundreds of Spanish people every year.

Unlike traditional lottery draws, which generally pay the largest prize to one lucky winner, the El Gordo prize is designed to go to numerous ticket holders, meaning dozens, if not hundreds of players can become millionaires.

$950 Million El Niño Prize Pool

Miss out on the El Gordo jackpot? Have no fear: its little brother, El Niño, offers you another chance at a big money prize. No, Spaniards don’t settle for small jackpots!

The draw happens on January 6th, Epiphany day, which is a highly celebrated date in Spain. While the jackpot pool is "only" €630 million (approx. $950 million), the draw is very similar in format to its older brother's – meaning there are plenty of prizes to be won.

$150 Million Mega 2018 Jackpot

If you want to start 2018 some million dollars richer, Lottoland offers you another chance to scoop a big jackpot in New Year’s Eve: meet Mega 2018, an exclusive jackpot for Lottoland players! 

We are talking about a $150 million jackpot and the odds of winning are much better than most international lotteries, like American Powerball or MegaMillions.
