who is millionaire
Lotto Bayern is currently asking this question.
Because a previously unknown player has hit the jackpot - and has not yet reported.
Munich – Winning several million euros in the lottery just before Christmas – that must have been the dream of many players over the past few days and weeks.
For a person from Bavaria, this longing for big money has now come true - only the lucky winner has not yet announced himself.
It was not until the end of October that people in Bavaria were looking for lottery multi-millionaires - in the end with success.
Anonymous lottery player rakes in five million prizes
According to the press release from Lotto Bayern, which is entitled "Over five million euros under the Christmas tree", the player won exactly 5,018,021 euros in the last draw.
However, the money does not yet belong to the winner, as Lotto Bayern notes.
Because: The multi-millionaire in Spe is so far unknown.
But there is still some time: By the end of 2025 at the latest, the game participant must report to the "State Lottery and Casino Administration" with the valid game receipt that he had handed in at an Upper Bavarian lottery acceptance point.

Only one number was missing for the "super six"
For the currently anonymous winner from Upper Bavaria, the numbers drawn on Wednesday, December 21st were the way to lucky money.
With the winning numbers 2, 22, 24, 42, 47 and 49, the game participant secured a hit in prize category 2. Only the super number 1 was missing for the "super six", according to Lotto Bayern.
If he wins several millions, he will probably be able to cope with the bit of bad luck.
Finally, the press release says: "The state lottery and casino administration recommends all game participants to carefully check their game receipts submitted in Upper Bavaria for the draw on December 21st." So if you played the lottery on Wednesday - maybe there's a little waiting for you sum.
