Participants Hailing from Germany and Finland Share Eurojackpot Winnings - Participants from Germany and Finland join forces in Eurojackpot lottery draw
In a historic first, players from Germany and Finland shared the €113 million Eurojackpot, a transnational European lottery game played across 18 participating countries. The win was announced by Westlotto in the evening, marking a significant moment for both countries.
The lucky winners from Germany and Finland each received approximately €58 million. The winning numbers for the Eurojackpot were 7, 8, 13, 29, 36, with the Euro numbers being 4 and 8.
The Eurojackpot, launched in 2012, is a popular lottery game that takes place every Friday at 8 pm in Helsinki, Finland. Players select five numbers from 1 to 50, plus two additional numbers, known as Euro numbers, from 1 to 10. To win the jackpot, a player must match all seven winning numbers drawn randomly in the draw.
The participating countries include, but are not limited to, Germany, Italy, Spain, Finland, Netherlands, Slovakia, Estonia, and others, making it a broad pan-European lottery. The jackpot starts at a guaranteed minimum of €10 million and can roll over if not won, increasing up to a maximum cap of €120 million.
The exact detailed odds of winning the jackpot were not specified, but the requirement to match 5 numbers out of 50 plus 2 numbers out of 10 indicates relatively long odds for hitting the jackpot. Generally, Eurojackpot odds of winning the top prize are approximately 1 in 95 million.
This lottery is distinct from EuroMillions, which involves a different set of participating countries and rules. The identity of the winner from Germany has not been disclosed, maintaining the mystery and excitement surrounding the big win.
Whether you're in Germany, Finland, or any of the other participating countries, the Eurojackpot offers a chance to dream big and potentially change your life with a single ticket.
