The German Lottery offers its players a total of 9 prize divisions. The first prize goes to players who manage to guess the 6 main numbers and the additional Super Number. The jackpot starts at €1,000,000, and then grows with every rollover when the main prize is not won, until it reaches €45 Million. If it isn't won once it achieved this amount, the jackpot amount is automatically distributed to the following draw. Then, if there is a jackpot winner, they will be paid as usual, if not, the whole amount will be transferred to the second prize.
The record jackpot currently stands at €45.5 Million which has been won in 2007. Good to know: ticket holders who match the 6 main numbers, but not the Super Number, qualify for the second prize division, that can get you hundreds of thousands, or even millions!
