Corks Popping for Lucky Player in Southern Germany: €120 Million Eurojackpot Strikes Again!
Huge jackpot of 120 million euros awarded to a South German recipient
The Eurojackpot has finally been claimed after a dry spell lasting since March, reaching its maximum value of a whopping €120 million. This time, a player or a lucky group from Baden-Württemberg has hit it big! The winning numbers were 1, 5, 27, 36, 43, and the Euro numbers were 5 and 9.
Westlotto recently announced the good news following the draw in Helsinki, ending Germany's reign of unsuccessful attempts at winning the massive sum.
Curiously, the last time the entire €120 million jackpot was won was in July 2022, claiming a Danish player. In November 2022, a Berlin resident reaped the record-breaking sum, while Schleswig-Holstein took the prize in June 2023. Norway and Denmark each nabbed the jackpot in January and June 2024, respectively.
Remember, the chances of winning the Eurojackpot are 1 in 140 million. But don't let odds discourage you—who knows, your name could be the next one circulating in the news!
Warning: Problem Gambling Warnings
For those who suspect a gambling addiction in themselves or a loved one, help is readily accessible:
- Reach out to the free telephone counseling service of the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) at 0800-1372700 (Monday to Thursday from 10 am to 10 pm and Friday to Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm).
- Seek online counseling for gambling addiction.
- Visit Check-dein-Spiel, a website that offers tests, tips, and recommendations on how to self-exclude from the majority of gambling offers.
- Find assistance from the Association for Gambling Addiction e.V.
Sharing the Jackpot
In April, €60 million was shared among winners from North Rhine-Westphalia and Slovenia. As for the current jackpot, it hadn't been won since March of this year.
When no player correctly marks the drawn numbers, 5 out of 50, and the Euro numbers (additional numbers) 2 out of 12, the undistributed money from the first prize class is transferred to the jackpot for the next draw. The draw takes place in Helsinki and is coordinated by Westlotto in Münster.

- The lucky winner of the €120 million Eurojackpot was from the community of Baden-Württemberg, a region in southern Germany.
- Eurojackpot, a popular lottery, recently celebrated another big-win, with the employment of a player or a group securing the life-changing sum.
- Employment opportunities might rise in Baden-Württemberg as a result of their €120 million windfall from the Eurojackpot.
- In contrast to the celebration of the Eurojackpot win in Baden-Württemberg, it is essential to remember the potential dangers of excessive casino-and-gambling, including problem gambling, and seek help if necessary via helplines, online counseling, or self-exclusion websites.
