A person from Bavaria has been allowed to call themselves a millionaire since this weekend - and apparently doesn't even know it yet.

So far no one has reported.

Munich – It is the dream of many lottery players: once in a lifetime, rake in the really big win.

Images of holidays on a South Sea island and life in the lap of luxury flash before the inner eye.

For one person in Bavaria, this wish has now come true.

Only: So far nobody has reported the game receipt.

Does the person not even know how lucky they are – or are they still celebrating?

It wasn't until May that two people from Bavaria became lucky millionaires - the pensioners each earned six-figure sums.

Lottery winners from Bavaria: With game 77 to a million

It is probably pointless to look for an answer to the question of why no one has reported their winning game receipt to the official authorities so far.

What is certain, however, is that the same receipt, a Spiel 77 game order, is endowed with a prize money of exactly 1,077,777 euros.

Because: It is not a classic lottery win.

Rather, it was the extra game called Game 77 that made the hitherto unknown person rich.

The lottery ticket, for which participation in that additional game must also be noted, has the ticket number 0299095.

Unknown wins millions on game 77

Now Lotto Bayern issued a press release in which the anonymous winner is mentioned.

The person filled out four lottery fields and ticked Super 6 and Game 77.

The latter is now worth one million euros.

18 euros had been spent on the ticket, which is now worth millions.

There is at least one assumption about the winner, who is said to come from Upper Bavaria: Since the ticket is valid for several drawing days, the organizers suspect that the player will only check at the end of the participation period whether a hit was made.

According to the press release, this is completely normal.

So it's quite possible that the lucky winner won't know until next Saturday that the account balance will soon be expanded by a few zeros.
