Cheers erupt across Southern Germany: 120-million Eurojackpot snapped up in a fortuitous streak
Major jackpot worth 120 million euros, claimed in South Germany
Get ready to party - someone in Baden-Württemberg is now €120 million richer! After twelve straight draws without a winner, a lucky individual or group has hit the Eurojackpot jackpot.
The winning numbers were 1, 5, 27, 36, 43, and the Euro numbers 5 and 9. This incredible win breaks Germany's previous lottery record[1].
The last major Eurojackpot win of €120 million wasn't within Germany's borders. However, a Czech player claimed their share in March 2023, following a German player's record-breaking €120 million win in February 2022[2].
The Eurojackpot draw takes place bi-weekly in Helsinki, with Westlotto coordinating the event from Münster. Though the odds of winning the jackpot are astronomical at 1 in 140 million, luck favors the bold!
Remember, winning the lottery should bring joy, not sorrow. If you or someone you know is dealing with gambling addiction, seek help through the following resources:

The Eurojackpot often has multiple winners. In some instances, there are shared wins, like in April, when players from North Rhine-Westphalia and Slovenia split €60 million. In December 2024, players from North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate also shared the jackpot[1].

- Baden-Württemberg
- The community in Baden-Württemberg is celebrating as they become home to the newest multi-millionaire after winning the Eurojackpot.
- Employment might not be a concern for the lucky winner, since their €120 million windfall could provide a lifetime of employment opportunities.
- The employment policy in Württemberg might need to be reviewed after this unexpected surge in wealth within the region.
- Instead of spending their winnings on casino-and-gambling, such as casino-games at a 0800-tipsters casino, perhaps the Eurojackpot winner could use their newfound wealth to support community projects and initiatives in the Baden-Württemberg area.
