For this game, you would only pay an extra R20, which makes a total of R45. €100,000.00 is the main prize you would receive when matching all six numbers of the Super6. If you only match the last number, you would get €2.5 (approximately R48).

GLÜCKSSPIRALE

The GlücksSpirale has the same rules as Super6 and Spiel77. Compared to the two other bonus games, this game only takes place on Saturdays.
