Lucky winners in Hanover region score millions from Glückspilz lottery draw
In a thrilling turn of events, a lucky resident from Lower Saxony has scooped up an impressive €1,760,000 in the popular German lottery game, Lotto 6aus49. The win was announced recently, but details about the player's identity remain undisclosed [1].
The winning numbers were hit by one of the 21 generated combinations, created using a combination system, as the player had marked nine numbers from the pool of 1 to 49 [2]. The additional Superzahl number was automatically generated by the system.
This year, 75 residents of Lower Saxony have won at least €100,000 in Lotto Niedersachsen lotteries, with ten of these winners pocketing amounts in the millions [3]. The number of winners so far this year is higher than just the one mentioned earlier, but the specifics of these wins have not been disclosed [4].
The odds of winning the jackpot in Lotto 6aus49 are approximately 1 in 140 million, making the game a challenge even for the most seasoned players [5]. However, the overall odds of winning any prize in Lotto 6aus49 are much better due to the multiple prize tiers [6].
The game is played throughout Germany, including in Lower Saxony, and involves selecting 6 numbers from a pool of 1 to 49, plus an optional additional number called the "Superzahl" for extra prizes [1][2][4]. The table below provides a summary of the approximate odds for each prize tier:
| Prize Tier | Odds (approximate) | |-----------------------|---------------------------| | Jackpot (6 + Superzahl)| 1 in 125,854,000 | | 6 of 6 | 1 in 15,731,800 | | 5 + Superzahl | 1 in 487,807 | | 5 of 6 | 1 in 60,976 | | 4 + Superzahl | 1 in 9,291 | | 4 of 6 | 1 in 1,161 | | 3 + Superzahl | 1 in 510 | | 3 of 6 | 1 in 64 |
These are the official odds as provided by Lotto 6aus49 [1][2][4]. The player from Lower Saxony won in the second prize category, narrowly missing out on the jackpot by just one correct super number [7].
