A lottery player from Brandenburg’s Oberhavel district has won more than €4 million after hitting all six main numbers in Germany’s Lotto 6 out of 49 draw.
Lotto Brandenburg said the player won €4,025,429 in Saturday’s drawing. The winner, who submitted the ticket online in mid-August, was the only person in Germany to correctly choose the numbers 9, 18, 28, 39, 41 and 48.
One number kept the player from the jackpot. The Superzahl was 6, but that number was missing from the winning ticket. The player had paid €115.20 for the entry.
The jackpot will rise to €39 million for Wednesday’s next draw. The win is already the second million-euro lottery prize recorded in Oberhavel this year.
