Germany’s Year-End Lotteries Produce 21 New Millionaires

State lottery specials delivered a record cluster of one‑million‑euro prizes under formal, notarially supervised draws.

Overview

  • Lotto Baden‑Württemberg confirmed twelve €1 million winners from its Silvester‑Millionen draw, the most such prizes it has ever awarded in a single day after selling three million tickets and drawing in Stuttgart.
  • WestLotto’s MillionenKracher in North Rhine‑Westphalia produced six €1 million winners, with tickets sold out in advance and winners from the Cologne area (two), Duisburg, and the districts of Düren, Warendorf and Hochsauerland.
  • LOTTO Niedersachsen announced a €1 million Silvesterlotterie winner from Landkreis Leer on January 1, noting the winning ticket was purchased on December 22 at a local outlet.
  • Lotto Rheinland‑Pfalz said the Neujahrs‑Million created a new €1 million winner in the Ludwigshafen area, and the player must claim the prize because the ticket was submitted without a customer card.
  • Separately, a Mainz‑area player won more than €1.1 million in the Eurojackpot’s second tier and will receive the payout by bank transfer thanks to a registered customer card.
