Rules of the game
How is MillionDAY played?
MillionDAY is a daily Italian number lottery (operator: Lotto Italia), drawn every day at 13:00 and 20:30 (Rome). 5 numbers are drawn from 55, with no bonus ball. All prizes are fixed: 5 matches €1 million, 4 matches €1,000, 3 matches €50, 2 matches €2. One play costs €1; the Extra option (€1 more) draws 5 more numbers from the remaining 50. This site records the 20:30 evening draw (since 7 February 2018; the midday draw has existed since March 2023). You must be 18 to play. Data: lotto-italia.it via the open archive millionday-data.

How does the Bonus work?
The Bonus is drawn after the winning numbers from the remaining balls; it counts if it is among your own numbers.
