Totoloto
Portugal's main national lottery, run by Santa Casa. A 5-from-49 base plus a 1-from-13 "Número da Sorte" (lucky number) gives it a distinct structure compared to its Spanish and Italian neighbours.
How it works
The rules in plain language
Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 49 and 1 "Número da Sorte" from 1 to 13. Match all six for the jackpot (€1M minimum, rolls over when unclaimed). Secondary tiers pay for 5 main, 4+Sorte, 4 main, 3+Sorte, 3 main, and 2+Sorte. Draws take place Wednesday and Saturday evenings in Lisbon.

Why LottoWise
Smarter play, honest math
LottoWise will not change your jackpot odds — nobody can, they are fixed by the game. Here is what we do differently:
Coverage you can verify
Systematic play plans compute exact coverage guarantees for secondary prize tiers (3, 4, or 5 matches). No black-box picks — you see which combinations you bought and which tier you are locked into.
Fewer prize splits
We flag overplayed patterns (birthdays, sequences, popular dates) in your region. If you do win, you are less likely to share the pot with thousands of others.
Rollover timing
Real-time jackpot and rollover tracking so you enter when expected value per ticket is strongest. Not every week is mathematically equal.
News-correlated signals
Our system reads lottery-related news — jackpot changes, rule updates, operator announcements — and correlates them with draw patterns. No other analytics tool does this.
No "lucky picks". No "guaranteed wins". Just analysis you can verify.
