A participant in the Eurojackpot could look forward to his very own Christmas miracle on Christmas Eve.

Munich - That might have sweetened someone's Christmas a lot: A ticket from Rhineland-Palatinate cracked the Eurojackpot on Christmas Eve and made one participant so very rich.

It is not known who the lucky winner is, but at least he or she won over 12 million euros, according to the West German Lottery.

In the drawing on Christmas Eve of the European lottery Eurojackpot, exactly 12,664,043 euros were in play.

The ticket from Rhineland-Palatinate was the only one with the correct winning numbers 3, 17, 21, 35, 42 and the euro numbers 8 and 9.

Just last week, a player from North Rhine-Westphalia won more than 70 million euros.

The first drawing of the European lottery Eurojackpot took place on March 23, 2012 in Helsinki.

18 countries with a total of 33 state lottery companies are now taking part in the competition.
