Overview
- The Lotto 6aus49 and Spiel 77 drawing Wednesday, April 29 produced a €1,077,777 Spiel 77 win in Kreis Recklinghausen and two six-number hits worth €795,168.40 each in the Cologne area and in Osnabrück.
- WestLotto and Lotto Niedersachsen said the winners can be reached because the entries were placed online or scanned with customer cards that record names and addresses.
- The winning tickets were bought for multiple draws, with the NRW slips active through late May, so the same players could post more prizes on upcoming Wednesdays and Saturdays.
- Following Friday’s May 1 Eurojackpot draw, the numbers 10, 11, 13, 16, 27 with Eurozahlen 5 and 7 left the €55 million top prize unclaimed while three players earned just over €500,000 and six won about €150,000.
- A 2024 Bayern case, where a cashier stole a €1.48 million Spiel 77 receipt and later received a suspended sentence, shows why keeping the physical ticket or playing in traceable channels is crucial.
