It sounds crazy - we're looking for a lottery player!
It's about a million profit.
Now the manhunt is out.
Münster - "Sorry, but are you perhaps our new millionaire?" Asks the Westlotto throughout North Rhine-Westphalia.
Around 15,000 employees at Westlotto retailers are now on the lookout for an initially unknown lottery winner.
The unknown player filled out a lottery ticket 6 out of 49 on August 3rd and won an incredible 2.4 million euros!
No trace of the lucky guy.
The million-dollar profit has been waiting for its new owner for weeks - but the money has not yet been collected.
“We know that the new millionaire has placed the game in the Ruhr area.
Since then, there has been no radio silence, ”says Westlotto company spokesman Axel Weber.
The six correct winning numbers are 6, 9, 11, 12, 24, 33 from the Wednesday August 25th draw.
2.4 million lucky guy clueless
Now the employees of around 3,200 acceptance points throughout the state are starting their detective work.
“We will do everything possible to find the player and deliver the winnings,” said press spokesman Weber.
Westlotto can only speculate about whether the winner has simply forgotten to check the lottery ticket or what other reason exists.
Weber suspects that it could be a regular player who plays regularly.
“The winner can come from anywhere,” says Weber.
Perhaps it is worth checking your old tickets again - of course, calmly.
Because the lucky one still has some time - to contact Westlotto by 2024.
A lottery player also needed a few days to catch their breath.
The 90 million euro profit had quite upset the lucky guy.
Understandable, right?
In the 6 out of 49 lottery, the most frequently drawn number is a surprising coincidence.
