National Lottery today announced a major overhaul of the nation's favourite Super5 Jackpot game, introducing significantly enhanced prize tiers and larger jackpots. The updated format launches tomorrow, 4 July, 2025.
Tomorrow's jackpot of €500,000 forms part of a series of changes in the game aimed at creating more meaningful jackpots and higher weekly increments. The two most significant changes to the Super5 game is the doubling of both the starting jackpot as well as the weekly jackpot increments. With the new Super5 format, the starting jackpot has now doubled from €250,000 to €500,000, while weekly increments have also doubled from the current €25,000 to €50,000.
"The new Super5 game format is the result of extensive market research undertaken over the past 6 months," commented Franco De Gabriele - Chief Commercial Officer of National Lottery plc. "The enhancements to Super5 are the product of player feedback. We listened carefully to what players value most - bigger jackpots. while staying true to the simplicity that made Super5 a household favourite for the past 35 years."
The new Super5 game will have a new ticket price of €3 and a new game matrix of 49 balls. These changes were necessary to allow for the improvements to the game, the company said. The price for Super5 Plus shall remain €1, whilst the top prize for this game will increase from €100,000 to €150,000.
The pay-outs for both Super5-4-3-2-1 and Super5-4-3-2-1 Plus have been increased with the new game matrix. A new concept of Match First (Prima) has been introduced to the Super5-4-3-2-1 game replacing the current Match 1 category.
"The bigger and faster-growing jackpots have stronger market appeal," added De Gabriele. "We have designed a game format to create more millionaires in the process. The expected average jackpot payouts are projected to exceed €1.5M for the first prize. We've also ensured that players have improved accessibility to the game, through our digital portal, lottery.mt."
Super5 is a national lottery game with tickets sold in 240 national lottery stores in Malta and Gozo. Draws are conducted every Wednesday and Friday evening and are televised live on TVM after the 8pm new bulletin, as well as on the company's social media channels.
