A lottery player or a syndicate from Schleswig-Holstein has cracked the 120 million Euro jackpot. With the winning numbers 2, 3, 18, 23, 39 and the two euro numbers 6 and 8, after 14 draws without a main prize, a player or syndicate was correct for the first time, as Westlotto announced on Friday after the draw in Helsinki.
In July 2022, the jackpot was hit for the first time with a maximum value of 120 million euros. The profit went to Denmark. In November 2022, a Berliner managed to do this and set a record for winning the lottery in Germany. More is not possible, because the European lottery with 18 participating countries is capped at 120 million euros.
The current jackpot had not been cracked since May 2nd. The high sum of the jackpot builds up when no player crosses the drawn numbers 5 out of 50 and the Euronumbers (additional numbers) 2 out of 12 correctly. The undistributed money from the first prize category then goes into the jackpot for the next draw. The draw is in Helsinki, and the lottery is coordinated by Westlotto in Münster.
