Lotto 6 aus 49: Leipzig Player Wins €10.9 Million

A player from Leipzig won €10,935,816.40 in the Lotto 6 aus 49 draw on Wednesday, 4 November 2026. Sachsenlotto said he was the only participant anywhere in Germany to match all six main numbers and the Superzahl, so the jackpot was not split.

The winning combination was 3, 13, 16, 28, 44 and 49, with Superzahl 2. The operator's 5 November announcement says the entry was submitted online on 1 November. The result is therefore tied to a specific draw, rather than the jackpot currently advertised for the game.

Why the seventh number matters

In Lotto 6 aus 49, a standard line contains six numbers chosen from 1 to 49. The Superzahl is separate: it is the final digit of the ticket number, between 0 and 9.

Matching the six main numbers without the correct Superzahl puts an entry in the second prize category. Matching both parts is required for the jackpot. LOTTO.de gives the jackpot chance as 1 in 139,838,160 per standard line.

Those odds describe an individual entry, not how often Germany produces a sole winner. That also depends on the entries submitted. What is confirmed here is that only one entry reached the top category in this draw.

How the pot grows

When the top category has no winner, its prize money carries into the same category in the next draw. With further prize allocations, that allows the jackpot to build between draws, within the game's cap.

Sachsenlotto also said the registered online entry could be linked directly to its holder. A separate winner registration was unnecessary; the operator could arrange payment to the stored bank account.

What it means for players

Check your Superzahl alongside the six main numbers and the draw date. Our lottery odds guide explains why a larger jackpot changes the possible prize, not the probability of a particular line matching the draw.
