The prize for the Italian Superenalotto now stands at 131.5 million euro.

Discussions around kitchen tables and on the beach revolve around what each one would do with the millions - with everyone invariable dividing it magnanimously amongst relatives and friends.

The Germans have set up special charter flights to fly in all those that would like to win.

Towns are buying tickets in the hope that the millions would no only solve their budget problems they would also allow them to finally build the town the always wanted.

And it is not just hitting those 6 lucky numbers, even 5 numbers would now net you between 31-33 millions.
