A woman and a man from Upper Bavaria have won millions of euros in the Eurojackpot and in the lottery.

There are already approximate plans for the use of the money.

Munich – Upper Bavaria now has two more millionaires: In the most recent draws of the Eurojackpot and Lotto 6 out of 49, a pensioner and a pensioner each cleared millions in profits.

According to an official press release from Lotto Bayern, the 64-year-old man won EUR 2,438,713.90 in the Eurojackpot and the 68-year-old EUR 1,245,081.80 in Lotto 6 out of 49.

Two Upper Bavarians win millions in the lottery and Eurojackpot: man bet 24 euros

The man "had given his game order with a term of five weeks for all Friday draws up to and including May 6th," it says.

For the last draw, he bet 24 euros and ended up getting more than 2 million euros back.

If he had also got the euro number right, 66 million euros would have ended up in his account.

Of course, he is still happy about his win.

"It's nice that I've won so much money - even though I've always had enough of what I need to live," said the Upper Bavarian.

He would like to pass on part of the amount to his daughter, and as a hobby farmer he treats himself to a new tractor.

Lotto and Eurojackpot: Upper Bavaria has two new millionaires

According to Lotto Bayern, the lucky second winner felt “a bit overwhelmed” after the news of the millions.

She has to let the good news sink in before she can think about how the money will be used.

The only thing that is certain is that her two children will receive part of the profits.

"What's left over is invested in the renovation of our house and in nice vacations," explained the pensioner.

She bet a total of 15.95 euros for the lottery ticket.

In the UK, a nurse and a construction worker have also won the lottery.

Then they drank tea, stunned.
