The size of the prize depends on the prize category and the stake. The more correct numbers, the better the prize category and the amount paid. The amount of money distributed across the nine prize categories is equivalent to 50 percent of the game stake. Therefore, the amount won is highest when as many tickets as possible are played and as few players as possible guess the correct numbers.
According to www.lotto.de, the chance of winning class 1, namely getting six numbers plus one super number, is around 1:140 million. Individual class win probabilities are as follows as of September 23, 2020.
The percentage of prizes for categories 2 to 8 refers to the remaining distribution of prizes after deducting the number of fixed prizes for category 9 and the allocation of prizes for category 1.

The amount is then awarded to the category 2 prize winner. If this is also empty, the amount will be awarded to the one below, etc. Theoretically, therefore, the amount can be distributed to 9 prize categories.
