250-Million Win Goes to Austria

The lucky winner achieved the record win on Friday evening with a stake of ten euros. The previous record holder had sent significantly more tips into the race with 20. In his case too, the "5 plus 2 correct numbers," which brought him a win of 240 million euros in December 2023, were found in the last of the tips he submitted online.

Just a few months earlier, in August 2023, 38 players were able to crack the EuroMillions jackpot with a joint syndicate ticket, which was filled with 72 million at the time. Thus, there were 38 millionaires in Austria in a single round. According to the Austrian Lotteries, the EuroMillions jackpot has been cracked a total of 19 times since the beginning of EuroMillions with the participation of Austrian winners.
