In the 200,000-strong community Siilinjärvi in Finland live since last week 50 millionaires more. The small town residents had participated in a ticket, they bought in the local supermarket. Together, they cleared the Eurojackpot main prize in the amount of 90 million euros.
The Finnish newspaper "Iltalehti" calculated that with the jackpot of the syndicate the entire debt of the community could be paid off in one fell swoop. The amount of the winnings is equal to the amount paid annually in Siilinjärvi.
However, before the winners decide how to invest their respective share of 1.8 million euros, they meet in the supermarket of Jyrik Huttunen on Friday. The jackpot prize is celebrated at a coffee party - a pretty down-to-earth start to the millionaire's existence.

"This profit has gone to a good group," said seller Jyrki Huttunen the Finnish newspaper "Iltalehti". He has known many of the lucky winners for years and is pleased that there were members of his community who could crack the jackpot.
For the second time this year, the jackpot in the European lottery had grown to a maximum of 90 million euros, because he had not been cracked for seven consecutive weeks. Such a high Euro jackpot profit, there has never been in the Scandinavian country.
Thanks to the winning numbers 15-18-19-41-42 and the two Euro numbers 4 and 6, he went on Friday to the syndicate in Siilinjärvi. The small town is located about 400 kilometers northeast of the Finnish capital Helsinki, where the winning numbers were drawn.
