lottery
It all depends on the context. As superenalotto is an Italian lottery, if you were writing specfically about winning or playing this lottery, I would probably leave it in Italian...
superenalotto, the Italian weekly lottery, ....
If it is more general, lottery would also suffice. Jackpot would be the term for the prize itself.

main national lottery
As there are various lotteries and lottery-related games, it may help the reader to add a bit of clarification, as above.
This is the "big one" where you can win vast amounts of money, if you're lucky (someone in Tuscany trousered 147 million euros in 2009, apparently).
