Eurojackpott win is new lottery record in Germany
The German lottery record was set again. Most recently, a player from the Münsterland region secured the win of over 90 million euros in February.
The chance of winning the Euro Jackpot is 1 in 95 million. The chances of the classic lottery on Wednesday and Saturday ("6 out of 49") are significantly lower. Here the prospect of the jackpot stands at only 1 in 140 million.
It remains to be hoped that the winner will not do the same as another winner, who had to give up all of their winnings again.
