Three lucky players, two from Germany and one from Hungary, have shared the €90 Million Prize of Eurojackpot. There were more than 41 million entries into the draw and more than 2 million of those snapped up prizes. The winning numbers were 3, 12, 24, 37 and 38, plus Euro numbers 3 and 7.
The biggest winners matched all the numbers to land €30 million each. It was quickly announced that two of the winning tickets were sold in Germany – one in Bavaria and one in Hesse – while the other was sold in Hungary. Eurojackpot chairman Andreas Kötter said: “Congratulations. This is what a golden autumn looks like.”
The second prize draw was also worth a staggering €23 million. There is a €90 million cap on the jackpot, so funds that would normally be added to the top prize have to go to the “Match 5 +1” category instead once this maximum amount has been reached. Eight ticket holders in the second tier pocketed €2.9 million each. Four of these winners came from Germany, two from Finland, one from Denmark and one from Italy.
The maximum jackpot has now been won nine times in total since the launch of Eurojackpot in 2012, including three times this year. A syndicate from Finland won €90 million in August, while the money was shared between a German player and a Polish player back in May.
