The new price of a Super 5 ticket will be 65c (EUR1.51) as from Thursday. This is the first such price increase since the game was launched in 1990.

This increase follows consultation with, and subsequent approval from, the Lotteries and Gaming Authority. Since the prize fund of the Super 5 game is a fixed percentage of the sales revenue for each draw, the increase in the price is directly reflected in the contribution made to the prize fund by each ticket. In fact, whereas before, each ticket sold contributed Lm0.225 to the prize fund, each ticket contribution will now be Lm0.2925.

As from 3 October, Maltco will also be increasing the starting guaranteed minimum jackpot to Lm50,000 (EUR116,468.67) instead of Lm40,000 (EUR93,174.93)
