Berlin Man Claims €120 Million Eurojackpot Two Weeks After Draw

Lottery officials plan to transfer the prize next week after routine verification.

Overview

  • The winner, a man from Berlin’s Charlottenburg‑Wilmersdorf, presented the original paper ticket at Lotto Berlin on Tuesday after delaying to let the news sink in.
  • The 23 September winning combination was 7, 8, 31, 32, 33 with Euro numbers 10 and 11; the ticket contained nine tips for €19 submitted at a local outlet.
  • Lotto Berlin is conducting standard checks and providing winner counseling, with payment to the nominee account expected next week pending final clearance.
  • FAZ reports the total payout as €120,000,064 due to additional small wins, marking the fourth €120 million jackpot in Germany and the second in Berlin.
  • In a separate 7 October draw, the jackpot was not hit; three German players in Lower Saxony, Berlin and Thuringia won €507,933.50 each in the second tier, and the top prize rolls to about €46 million for Friday.
