Euro Jackpots

Big win: NRW players become multimillionaires

Success for the lottery player from North Rhine-Westphalia: He won more than 54 million euros in Eurojackpot. There are also a large number of prizes in other prize categories.

But it’s not just NRW players who are able to enjoy big wins. Large amounts are also paid out in lower prize categories. In the second prize category with five correct numbers and one euro number, 737,967.50 euros were awarded to three winners: one player each from Baden-Württemberg, Slovenia and the Czech Republic reached this prize category.

In the third prize category with five correct numbers without a euro number, 312,134.50 euros were paid. The winnings were shared among four tipsters from different federal states: one player each from Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was able to win this amount.

Players pay two euros per field typed, and a one-time processing fee is also charged per ticket. In addition to the classic paper tickets at lottery acceptance points, those interested have other options: The federal state lottery company and the t-online lottery service offer practical online participation. Submission deadlines vary by state and end on Tuesdays and Fridays.

In Helsinki, Eurojackpot draws are held twice a week under police supervision. The minimum jackpot is ten million euros, while the maximum win is 120 million euros. Players must correctly predict five numbers between 1 and 50 and two Euro numbers between 1 and 12 for the top prize. The odds of winning the top prize (class 1 prize) are 1:139,838,160. In the lowest prize class (class 12), two correct main numbers plus one correct Euro number will result in a win – with odds of 1:49.
