It is not the first time that he has been lucky in the game: a man from Lower Franconia won around 1.3 million euros in the lottery.
"This is the third time I've won Lotto 6 out of 49 with these numbers," he said, according to a message from Lotto Bayern.
The winner had been sought since the drawing on September 3rd.
The numbers 3, 6, 36, 39, 43 and 49 had brought him luck twice before - and brought him five correct numbers.
From the first profit in 1989 - at that time around 9000 marks - he and his wife made their wedding including honeymoon, as the 66-year-old reported.
Four years later he won around 4000 marks.
Now, the third time, thanks to six correct numbers, his account balance increases by exactly 1,301,652.10 euros.
"I can't buy my health"
With the renewed windfall, the couple will take it easy.
»We stay down to earth.
We like to eat and cook well and can now afford more.
A new television would be nice and next year maybe an automatic car,” says the winner, who is in poor health.
»I can't buy my health, but I can make everyday life a bit easier and more beautiful.«
The lucky numbers are still on the couple's ticket, which they want to take to the acceptance point with "their numbers".
The odds of getting six correct numbers are 1 in 16 million.
The probability of also guessing the super number correctly is 1 in 140 million.
