The Eurojackpot filled with 73.7 million euros goes to North Rhine-Westphalia. With the winning numbers 6, 8, 16, 44 and 50 as well as the two additional numbers 1 and 10, the player was correct, as Westlotto announced on Friday evening after the draw in Helsinki. The profit amounts to exactly 73,720,055 euros.
According to the lottery, it is the 16th jackpots to be hit this year. In prize class two (five correct winning numbers plus one correct euro number) there were, according to the information, further high winnings. 714,788.90 euros each went to Lower Saxony, Norway, Denmark and Croatia.
A player from North Rhine-Westphalia had already cracked the Eurojackpot in January and even won 90 million euros at the time. The same amount went to a lucky guy from Hessen at the end of May. Back then, he said in a phone call with the managing director of Lotto-Hessen, Heinz-Georg Sundermann: “We are perfectly normal people and will remain so – but now some with a lot of money.”
