Jackpot Winners Notified in Germany - Eurojackpot, Yet Unsolved Cracking Mystery Remains
Insights:Getting your hands on a seven-figure win in the Eurojackpot isn't a rarity for German tipsters. In fact, they've come reeeeeas close to breaking the €120 million jackpot a few times.
Here's a rundown of some of the biggest wins recently:
- 8th November 2022: A staggering €120 million went to a lucky winner in Berlin.[1]
- 31st January 2023: Another win worth €107,469,011 was recorded.[1]
- 4th August 2023: A player managed to scoop up €117,242,386.[1]
- 9th July 2024: A German winner pocketed €98,183,615.[1]
Despite these impressive victories, the elusive €120 million jackpot still remains unclaimed.
The Latest DrawThe European lottery game, Eurojackpot, drew €120 million last time around, but no one walked away with it. Three winners from Germany could still celebrate substantial sums, though. They were close, very close—but they missed the mark.[2]
The second winning class was well-filled, and luck struck multiple times. The winning combination counted 6,061,762.90 euros and was evenly split among Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and Denmark. Their winning numbers drawn in Helsinki were 1, 21, 22, 46, 49. However, they were one short in both Euro numbers—missing out on numbers 9 and 10.
Just missing out on the Euro numbers meant nine separate cases with around €200,000 each. Winning chances like this happened five times in Germany.[2] Moreover, congrats are due to the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden as well, as they also claimed some winnings.[2]
Too Close for Comfort?If a German player manages to guess the correct numbers in the upcoming Friday draw, they could set a new record for the biggest win in German lottery history. So far, only two players from Germany have managed to scoop up the €120 million—the last time was in November 2022.[2]
In the past, the entire €120 million jackpot has gone to Denmark (June 2024) and experienced a split between North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate (December 2024).[2]
ProbabilitiesIt's tough to crack the Eurojackpot—with 19 participating countries in Europe, the chances of winning the jackpot are 1 in 140 million.[2] But hey, someone's gotta win it!
