Lingotto Intro


What's Lingotto?

Lingotto enormously facilitates your formulation of complex systems of SuperEnalotto. Lingotto lets you:

  • create systems combining from 6 to 90 numbers
  • constrain the columns by sum of numbers, simmetries, parallels, interruptions, superinterruptions, lower and upper distances, tens, finals, odd and even numbers, constrained groups, consecutivity
  • constrain systems with even more detailed criteria
  • recover unlimited number of wrong conditions
  • reduce the constrained system in order to get second and third category wins
  • print the columns on paper and directly to SuperEnalotto forms
  • export the system to plain text
  • customize the application to suit user's needs
  • create systems by union, intesection, difference or inversion
  • check the system to see if you have won
Lingotto has complete documentation in Italian language: please contact us if you are interested in more information in English.


What is SuperEnalotto?

Have you never heard about Italian SuperEnalotto? This new bet game has been introduced by Sisal in 1997 and it has become very popular between Italian players, because of a rich trend of wins succeeded at his introduction. The bet is based on the draw numbers of from some pools of Italian Lotto.

SuperEnalotto numbers are drawn every Wednesday and Saturday. You have to choose 6 numbers from 1 to 90. The winning combination appears very rapidly in Televideo teletext pages and the next day on most Italian newspapers. The 6 numbers of the winning combination are determined by the first draw of Bari, Firenze, Milano, Napoli, Palermo and Roma pools. The winning combination will be made public in increasing order, although the draw order of the number doesn't apply. In case of coincidence of the first draw numbers from the pools, the winning combination doesn't take into account same numbers and considers the second draws or the third draws and so on. Another rule with the draw of Venice pool, the Jolly rule, is valid. If you matched 5 numbers and nobody has matched 6 numbers, you may use even the draw of Venice in order to make 6 matches.

The range of wins is very large; it may vary from some dozen of thousand liras of fourth category prices to more than ten billion liras of the first category price. The case no better guesses the winning combination isn't so rare. If that possibility succeeds, the amount of jackpot reserved for wins of first category is stored by Sisal and offered as a prize in the next contest of SuperEnalotto, always for wins of first category; that part of jackpot is called SuperEnalotto jackpot and Sisal divides equally it in as many parts as the betters who scored six points. The jackpots for other categories are divided in the same manner. Sisal divides in four same parts the total amount of a part of the incomings; every part is assigned to the wins of category.
