Germany – Lottoland pays out world’s biggest ever online jackpot
By Phil - 11 June 2018
Lottoland has announced that a lucky winner in Germany scooped Friday’s (June 1 2018) EuroJackpot top prize of €90m (£79m).
This win is the largest prize pay-out for any online gaming company in the world, and the biggest pay-out for Lottoland to date.
This Friday (8th of June) the top prize for EuroJackpot will remain at €90million, as no one won the underlying state lotteries around Europe.
The winner, Christina, a 36-year-old cleaner from Berlin, had put a bet on the EuroJackpot jackpot via her mobile. Her mother chose the five lucky numbers (14, 19, 21, 30, 32) and the two Euro numbers (4 and 7) which matched and bagged her record breaking win.
She must be one of the luckiest Lottoland players on record as she only signed up to Lottoland two weeks ago via her mobile, she won €8.60 on her first bet and then the life changing jackpot the following week.
The Berliner found out she had won while working on her late cleaning shift. She is now going to quit her job, allow her mother to retire and hire a motor-home which she will drive from the East to West coast of America.
The trip will culminate in a Backstreet Boys concert, although she has to get her driving licence before she does that – which is something she hasn’t been able to afford to do before.
On her big win, she said “I’ve always wanted to travel and visit new countries and places – the USA has always been at the top of my list and now I can plan a trip from the East to the West coast in a camper van. I can’t wait!”
Lottoland CEO Nigel Birrell called the win a ‘landmark’ moment for the online gaming industry: “More and more players from around the world are waking up to the fact that they can bet on the biggest jackpots the world has to offer at Lottoland.”
“This record €90m win is a break-through moment both for our business and the industry as a whole, as it is the largest jackpot pay-out ever across the online gaming and lotto industry. We look forward to breaking more records in the future.”
Lottoland allows players to bet on the world’s biggest lotteries, with the opportunity to win all the same prizes – including the jackpot. Major draws available at Lottoland include US PowerBall and US MegaMillions, EuroMillionaire, Spain’s El Gordo and many more from Europe and across the globe.
