Bavaria got 31 new millionaires in 2022.

At least if you only count the lottery millionaires.

This is a record in Bavaria and a blessing for the state treasury.

Munich – Lotto is more popular than ever before.

And that despite all the crises.

In the past year, the money invested in the lottery increased again.

The Germans spent billions on their lottery tickets.

There was also a lot of gambling in Bavaria and it really paid off for 31 lucky players.

Germans spent around eight million euros on the lottery in 2022

With 31 lottery millionaires in 2022, Bavaria is on a par with Baden-Württemberg.

The Free State only had to admit defeat in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Germany's most populous federal state recorded 45 lottery millionaires.

Nationwide, 187 players received a seven-digit amount transferred to their accounts.

Shortly before Christmas, the till rang again for an Oberbayern.

He became richer by around five million euros.

However, playing the lottery is not a cheap hobby.

The Germans paid a lot to take part in the 6 out of 49 game.

They flushed 7.97 billion euros into the coffers of the state lottery companies.

The total increased by 0.9 percent compared to 2021.

Around 3.9 billion euros were distributed.

The lottery companies also published another exciting statistic.

The most frequently drawn numbers in 2022 were 1 and 49. 16 came in third. Last place was 45.

Bavaria can look forward to 469 million in lottery tax revenue

Overall, it was a good year for the state lottery and casino administration in Bavaria, Finance Minister Albert Füracker (CSU) summed up.

There have never been 31 lottery millionaires in Bavaria before.

And thanks to the hard-working tipsters, some things ended up in the state treasury.

It was around 469 million euros in lottery tax, profit transfer and casino tax in 2022. These funds made additional services possible, for example for sports, culture, monument preservation and other public areas, which would otherwise not be possible or would only be possible with difficulty, says Füracker.

The nine casinos in Bavaria also overcame the Corona low in 2022.

More than 541,000 guests were counted here.

With more than 106 million euros, the casinos achieved the highest gross gaming revenue since 2007, explained Füracker.
