A syndicate from North Rhine-Westphalia has broken the jackpot of 110 million euros and achieved a record profit. With the winning numbers 4 – 22 – 28 – 32 – 47 and the two euro numbers 1 and 2, after 13 draws without a main prize, someone was right for the first time.
According to the online provider Lotto24, the jackpot was cracked by 15 players together. A player bought two shares, Lotto24 said. Each share is therefore 6.9 million euros. Three other tipsters or syndicates from Germany can look forward to more than 674,000 euros in the second prize category, the amount goes twice to Baden-Württemberg and once to Hamburg.
Record profit thanks to rule change
By the end of March 2022, the 18 participating countries had changed the rules for the tenth anniversary of the European lottery. On the one hand, in addition to Friday, a second drawing day was introduced on Tuesday, on the other hand, the upper limit was raised from 90 to 120 million euros. The record win has now become possible, while several lottery players have only managed to break the record of 90 million euros in recent years.
The record profit of 90 million euros in Germany has so far been in the hands of tipsters from Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia (2). The very first jackpot of 90 million was won on May 15, 2015 by a player from the Czech Republic.
