The Superzahl is not a number you pick. It is the last digit of your ticket number, and one digit from 0 to 9 is drawn after the six numbers, so it matches one ticket in ten. Classes 1 to 8 come in pairs, with and without it, and the one with it is nine times rarer and pays more.
Six numbers without the Superzahl, class 2, comes 1 in 15,537,573. Six numbers at all, with or without it, is one combination out of 13,983,816.
Two numbers win only together with the Superzahl, the lowest class, 1 in 75.5. It is still one of the most common prizes, because two matching numbers are common.
