Corks Pop in Baden-Württemberg: History-Making 120-Million Eurojackpot Win
Huge Jackpot of 120 Million Euros awarded in Southern Germany
Break the news with a bang - a player or a syndicate in the charming region of Baden-Württemberg has bagged the whopping 120-million Eurojackpot! Unbelievable, right? Let's dive into the jaw-dropping details of the record-breaking win.
After 12 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner, the wait is finally over. A lucky winner or group of winners has just won the Eurojackpot's maximum value, setting a new milestone for Germany's lottery winnings. Catch the winning numbers here: 1, 5, 27, 36, 43, and the two Euro numbers 5 and 9.
The last time the jackpot reached its highest value of 120 million euros was in July 2022, with the win going to Denmark. Most recently, a Berliner took home the jackpot in November 2022, shattering Germany's previous lottery winning record. In June 2023, the entire jackpot went to Schleswig-Holstein, while in January 2024, it was Norway's turn to claim the prize. Going back to June 2022, Denmark once again struck gold.
In case you're curious to know what happens when the jackpot isn't won, here's the scoop: the undistributed money from the first winning class gets added to the jackpot for the next draw. It all takes place in Helsinki, with Westlotto in Münster coordinating the draw. Don't think it's a piece of cake to win the Eurojackpot; the odds are stacked against you at 1 in 140 million!
Now, you might be wondering, what happens when the jackpot goes unclaimed for an extended period? Well, the jackpot often gets shared. Previously, in April, lucky winners from North Rhine-Westphalia and Slovenia took home 60 million euros in conjunction. In December 2024, players from North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate were also victorious! However, let's get back to the champion who claimed the 120-million jackpot, the identity of which remains a mystery.
