How to Play Israel Lotto?

1. Israel Lotto used to be available on popular online lottery websites like the ones that we recommend. While it is not made available, only those who are in Israel will be capable of playing it through the official website or at local retailers.
2. Regardless of where you choose to play, fill the play slip by choosing six numbers from 1 to 37 plus one additional Strong (Chazak) number from 1 to 7. You might as well let the system pick them for you, but you need to match them all to get the jackpot.
3. After filling as many boards as you please, decide if you want to play a traditional or a Double Lotto game. Also, you might guarantee yourself the chance of an additional prize by purchasing Extra.
4. Pay for the play slips to receive your tickets. If you are playing physically, remember to keep those tickets safe.

The Top 5 Israel Lotto Winners’ Stories

1. NIS 76 Million – Approximately $23.4 million is how much the luckiest Israel Lotto player claimed in May 2021. The anonymous winner is a grandfather from the south who had been out of work due to the coronavirus. When he left home for a new job, he checked the numbers and realized he had won. The prize of NIS 38 million was doubled, resulting in the highest prize ever paid in the history of the Israel Lotto. He had to call his new boss and say that he was not coming at all. As an occasional lottery winner, he said that he prefers quick pick games but decided to repeat numbers he had found in his house, and that was clearly a good choice.
2. NIS 74 Million – The second biggest jackpot ever paid in the history of Israel Lotto was NIS 74 million on December 26, 2009. After 22 weeks with no winner, an anonymous couple got the jackpot prize. They also played with a Double Lotto ticket, which resulted in that big amount. The prize was claimed nearly four months later by that couple, who said they had no idea that they had been keeping the winning ticket for so long.
3. NIS 30 Million – On August 3, 2021, one winner won a NIS 30 million prize alone with Double Lotto. The retired winner said that he had a method to play the lottery: he played the same numbers until someone won the jackpot. Before realizing his prize, he and his wife invited friends for a meeting and, while organizing things to host them, he remembered that he had not checked the ticket. He rushed to his wife to tell the news, and they spent the entire night discussing what to do with the prize and decided not to tell anyone about the prize, keeping their lifestyle as it was.
4. NIS 7.5 Million – An anonymous winner dreamed about winning the second prize, and his dream could not be more right. Although he had not won the first prize, his second prize was the biggest in the history of the lottery, reaching NIS 7.5 million. The man, of almost 30 years, said that he did not have specific lottery strategies to win, only luck. On August 10, 2021, the drawing day, he spent the day with his family on the beach and went to sleep. However, he woke up at the end of the night for no reason and decided to check the tickets. That is when he realized he had won. 
5. NIS 64 Million – A 40-year-old man from the central region claimed his NIS 60 million prize resulting from a Double Lotto ticket. While relaxing with his family, he decided to check the numbers until he realized he won the prize. The weekend was simply normal, as they decided that they did not want to change anything in the way they lived. With the prize won on July 1, 2021, they want to invest in themselves and their children.

• 2009 – The matrix was changed to 6/37 + 1/7.
