Score one for Baden-Württemberg: Massive 120-million Eurojackpot finally cracked after 12 long attempts
巨大jackpot 贏得了南德國
If Lady Luck ain't been in your corner lately, here's some news to cheer up even the grimiest of gamblers. After a mind-numbing 12 draw losing streak, a Lotto-enthusiast or syndicate from Germany's southwestern hub, Baden-Württemberg, has finally hit the jackpot spring of 120 million Euros!
The Eurojackpot, an organization with roots stretching across 18 European countries, announced the fortunate event that took place in Helsinki, Finland, following numerous attempts without a winner since March 2025 [1]. The winning ticket bore the combination of numbers 1, 5, 27, 36, 43 and the Euro numbers 5 and 9 [1]. The identity of the lucky winners remains under wraps as of yet.
Germany has seen its share of hefty jackpot wins in 2025, with previous victories unfolding in Berlin, Schleswig-Holstein, Norway, and Denmark [1]. In December 2024, two lucky players from North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate shared a 60 million Euro jackpot.
Remember, the Eurojackpot worth 120 million euros doesn't come easy. Achieving this prize necessitates matching 5 main numbers out of 50 and 2 additional Euro numbers out of 12 [1]. If no one picks the correct combo, the cash from the first winning pot gets pumped into the jackpot for the following draw [1].
