Here's how it goes: you choose 5 numbers from 1 to 43, and then a Super Ball between 1 and 16. Match all six and you’re looking at the jackpot. You can also opt into the Revancha draw, which uses the same numbers but gives you another shot at a jackpot. Tickets are affordable and easy to get — both in shops and online — and the results come out fast after the draw. It’s straightforward, exciting, and offers decent chances across a few prize levels.
The odds of hitting the jackpot (5 + Super Ball) are roughly 1 in 15.4 million, but don’t let that put you off — there are multiple ways to win smaller prizes along the way. Add in the Revancha and your chances get a nice boost overall. Jackpots often climb into the millions, especially when there’s been a rollover or two. If you’re someone who likes the thrill of chasing a proper big win, this one’s definitely worth a go.
Baloto has made quite a few dreams come true. The biggest win ever?
$117 billion COP (approx. USD 60 million) — Won in 2012 by a single ticket holder in Bucaramanga. This remains the largest Baloto jackpot ever won.
$73 billion COP — Taken home by a player in Medellín in 2009, showing how the pot can climb with rollovers.
$69 billion COP — Hit in Bogotá in 2007 after several weeks of no jackpot winners.
$62 billion COP — Claimed by a lucky ticket from Valle del Cauca in 2014, just before Christmas — what a gift.
$47 billion COP — Won by a syndicate in Cali in 2011, proving teamwork sometimes really does make the dream work.
Baloto continues to produce winners across all tiers, but it's these massive payouts that keep players coming back. Every draw has the potential to make someone very, very rich. |
