The West German Lottery did not provide any information about the age and gender of the lucky person(s).
The Eurojackpot can be played in 18 European countries, which is why the possible winnings are often higher than when playing the lottery in Germany.
There are draws every Tuesday and Friday where between ten and 120 million euros can be won.
The Eurojackpot is drawn in Helsinki, but the lottery is coordinated by Westlotto in Münster.
Several people have already won 120 million euros in the Eurojackpot
Millions of people in Germany play the lottery regularly.
The chance of winning a lot is extremely small.
As Lotto writes, the chance of winning the smallest amount with the Lotto 6aus49 is 1:31.
If you want to get a six with the right super number, you have to deal with odds of 1:140 million.
In the Eurojackpot you only have to guess five numbers out of 50, but two out of 12 super numbers.
There, too, the chance of winning the jackpot is set at 1:140 million.
To take part in the Eurojackpot, you have to pay two euros plus a 25 cent processing fee for each playing field.
In the almost 12-year history of the Eurojackpot, there have already been some big wins.
The maximum amount of 120 million euros was distributed four times.
This even went to Germany twice, like most of the winnings of over 90 million euros in history.
A man from Hamburg won a whopping 117 million euros in 2023.
With the winning of 63 million euros, another high jackpot went to the Federal Republic.
