Around 85 million euros in the drawing on Friday 13th

On March 23, 2012, the first draw took place in Helsinki, Finland. And a lot has happened since then! For example, the Eurojackpot family has grown from the original seven participating countries to eighteen, and a total of 363 lucky people have become millionaires. And each individual has a very individual winning story – but some are special.

The be-all and end-all: keep calm

May 15, 2015 is special because the record profit of 90 million euros was made on this day for the first time. It is scored in the Czech Republic. 90 million euros still means the highest lottery prize of all time. The 90-fold millionaire did not report until mid-June. Due to the media hype, the winner has waited to get in touch with Czech lottery company Sazka.

favorite team

A lot can be done with a win at Eurojackpot. For example, a Norwegian who won the jackpot of around 13.5 million euros in 2013 had an extraordinary dream. He invests a portion of his jackpot winnings into Premier League football club Odd Grenland.

Coffee and cake for everyone

It gets particularly strange on August 23, 2019: A syndicate from a small town in Finland wins 90 million euros. 50 players share the jackpot. Additional prizes in the lower prize categories will increase the total prize money to around 92 million euros. The tip was played in a supermarket in Siilinjärvi municipality. Here, the 50 lucky winners had entered a ticket from the lottery acceptance point of a consumer market. To celebrate winning the jackpot, there will be coffee and cake for passers-by, including talks with the new millionaires.

By “accident” to becoming a multimillionaire

A young man from Bavaria is celebrating a special May 1st, 2020. A 25-year-old from Upper Franconia wins the mega prize. The merchant bets on the Internet for a stake of EUR 16.25 shortly before the draw. Still in bed on Saturday morning, he reads an e-mail saying he has won class one. At first he doesn’t know whether this is the highest or lowest prize class. Then he compares his numbers with those drawn. Incidentally, the Franconian did not come up with the lucky numbers himself. It was a “quick tip” in which a random generator determined the numbers. He wants to invest his money in a crisis-proof manner. He doesn’t want to buy expensive sports cars because he has always lived modestly.

Maybe the next interesting story is just a ticket away? Since March 25, Eurojackpot has been able to do more: The maximum jackpot can increase to up to 120 million euros and in addition to Fridays, there is a second draw on Tuesdays.
