Here's what you need to know about how much they cost and where to buy them:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udcb6 How much are lottery tickets in Malta?\n\n- **Basic Lotto options** like Prima, Ambo, Terno, and Terno-Ambo have a **minimum entry cost of \u20ac0.50**. That\u2019s the lowest stake for those game types. ([instore.lottery.mt](https://instore.lottery.mt/lotto/?utm_source=openai))  \n- There are other price levels depending on how many numbers or boards you choose. For example, Lotto stakes can go up to **\u20ac3 per board** for higher-risk prize levels. ([lotteryguru.com](https://lotteryguru.com/malta-lottery-results/mt-lotto?utm_source=openai))  \n- Instant scratch-card games (ScratchiZ) and special add-ons (like \u201cGolden Number\u201d options) cost more, depending on how large the prize or jackpot is. ([lottoland.com](https://www.lottoland.com/mt/scratchcards?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\uded2 Where to buy lottery tickets\n\nYou have two main ways to buy:\n\n1. **In-person**\n   - At any retail *National Lottery store* or authorized lottery outlet (e.g. Lotto booths) around Malta and Gozo. ([malta.com](https://www.malta.com/en/local-information/lottery-results?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Pick up instant games like scratch cards and Xpress quick-pick tickets from \u201cselect stores\u201d that carry National Lottery products. ([instore.lottery.mt](https://instore.lottery.mt/xpress/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n2. **Online**\n   - Through the official Malta National Lottery website or mobile app. You\u2019ll need to be physically in Malta, as online purchases are restricted to those located in Malta. ([support.lottery.mt](https://support.lottery.mt/faq/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - The same games are usually available online, including Lotto, Lotto Quaterno, Super5, and others. ([support.lottery.mt](https://support.lottery.mt/faq_category/lottery-games/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which game you\u2019re interested in (e.g. *Super5*, *Pick3*, *Lotto* etc.), I can give you the exact current price for that, too!"
