Lowest and highest payout for 4 matches
Since the introduction of the new lotto rules for the Saturday draw on 04.05.2015 (most important change: removal of the supplementary number), many ask: What are the lowest and highest payouts for four matches without Superzahl (prize class 6)?
For the period from 04.05.2013 to 07.09.2023, the following notable draws occurred in German Lotto 6aus49 (as always, information without guarantee):
Lowest payout for 4 matches without Superzahl:
On Saturday, 13.10.2018 the numbers 3, 7, 9, 11, 27, 36 with Superzahl 7 yielded only €19.10 for 4 matches!
Reason: very popular numbers were drawn, producing a disproportionately high number of winners in this class. The same effect caused the very low payouts for 3 matches on that day as well.
Highest payout for 4 matches without Superzahl:
On Saturday, 20.09.2014 the numbers 1, 6, 14, 40, 42, 47 with Superzahl 6 paid a full €74.90 for 4 matches!
Here, comparatively unpopular edge-of-grid numbers were drawn, spatially well separated — resulting in fewer winners.
