Rome - Italy's national lottery was unbroken again in Monday drawing, raising the prospect of a 200-million-dollar jackpot at the next drawing.

The jackpot stood at 136 million euros (193 million dollars) on Monday after the lottery - based on choosing six numbers between 1 and 90 - not having been broken for the past six and one-half months.

With the next lottery, the jackpot will likely break the 200 million dollar dollar barrier. The Italian lottery is drawn three times a week.(dpa)
