Overview
- Friday’s Eurojackpot draw on October 16 produced no top‑tier winner, leaving an €18 million jackpot for the next scheduled draw on Tuesday, October 20.
- A Bavarian ticket claimed a third‑prize payout of €152,567.90 in the October 16 draw with the main numbers 12, 24, 25, 29 and 45, and identical third‑tier prizes went to winners in Baden‑Württemberg, Berlin, Niedersachsen and several other European countries.
- Earlier in the week a ticket from North Rhine‑Westphalia reportedly hit the Eurojackpot top prize for €120 million, and a separate Hesse ticket won roughly €10.8 million in Germany’s Lotto 6 aus 49 on Wednesday.
- Lotto 6 aus 49 published Saturday’s numbers as 6, 13, 15, 19, 30, 40 with Superzahl 8, and German draws follow different rules and deadlines than the transnational Eurojackpot.
- Eurojackpot draws take place in Helsinki under local police oversight, require five main numbers plus two Euro numbers to win the top prize, guarantee at least €10 million and cap at €120 million, and players are advised to check state ticket deadlines and use the BZgA helpline for gambling support.
