Changes to the “6aus49” lottery – bad news for players
Once in your life, tap the right numbers in the lottery and win the big jackpot. What a player from North Rhine-Westphalia at the Eurojackpot draw on Halloween became reality, for many tipsters nationwide there is one thing above all else: just a dream. Will it stay that way? Because the big jackpot has been available since the drawing Lotto on Wednesday new rules on November 1st. According to Westlotto based in Muenster (NRW) they should give the players “even more fun to play”.
The most important rule change reduces the chances of really big winnings: the compulsory distribution of the jackpot has ended. Instead, the distribution amounts above the maximum amount flow into the next jackpot phase of the 1st prize category. And: The big jackpot for the game “6aus49” has increased to 50 million euros. Previously it ended at 45 million euros.
The forced payout was a special rule in the game “6aus49”, as wa.de reports. This guaranteed that the jackpot would be paid out without the players necessarily having to guess six correct numbers and the super number. The forced payout occurred as soon as the jackpot reached the maximum limit and no one guessed correctly. Then the prize went to prize category 2 (six numbers without a super number). If no one guessed correctly here either, the jackpot moved to the lower prize category, meaning fewer and fewer correct numbers were needed.

Without a compulsory distribution, the winnings will now remain worth 50 million euros until the jackpot is hit. This means that the chances of becoming a lottery millionaire are lower for the individual. The main prize can now be won in several draws, but only with the six correct numbers plus the super number.
The winnings increase in the next rounds: The previously excess money, which would have brought the jackpot over 50 million euros, flows into the next lottery pot.
