6 from 1-49, plus 1 Superzahl from 0-9
Six from 49
Lotto 6aus49 means six from 49: you choose six numbers from 1 to 49. There are 13,983,816 ways to do that, so getting all six right on one line is 1 in 13,983,816. The top prize also needs the Superzahl, a single number from 0 to 9 drawn on its own, so six correct plus the Superzahl is 1 in 139,838,160.
Six from 49 is the most widely shared main format on our list. The same 13,983,816 combinations, and the same 1 in 13,983,816 for six correct, apply to La Primitiva (Spain), Loto 6/49 (Romania), Lotto (Poland) and Lotto 6/49 (Canada).
Consecutive numbers
Close to half of all six-from-49 lines, 49.5%, contain at least two consecutive numbers. The count is exact: a line with no neighbors corresponds one to one with a choice of six from 44, and 7,059,052 of the 13,983,816 lines are like that. A quick pick showing 17 and 18 side by side is entirely normal.
Any given number from 1 to 49 is in a random line with probability 6/49, or 12.2%, and the generator gives every number that same chance. A list of past draws will show some numbers more often than others; that is the normal unevenness of a short record, and it says nothing about which six come next.
Why pick at random
It is not about winning more often. Every line has the same 1 in 13,983,816 chance of six correct, chosen or random. The difference is in how popular a line is. Numbers from dates stop at 31, and 18 of the 49 numbers are above that. A line made of birthdays is one of the 736,281 that use only 1 to 31, a group many players draw from, while a random line falls in it just 5.3% of the time. A winning random line is correspondingly less likely to be split.

Where the randomness comes from
This tool runs entirely in your browser, using its built in cryptographic random number generator. Nothing you type is sent to us, nothing is stored, and each result is thrown away the moment you leave the page. Numbers are drawn without the rounding bias that the usual shortcut introduces, so every outcome is as likely as every other.
Because nothing is recorded, a result here proves nothing to anyone afterwards. If you need a drawing that other people have to accept, for a prize, a campaign or an audit, use Winner Picker, which publishes each result on a permanent link with a signed record anyone can check.
