Overview
- Three tickets split the capped €50 million first prize in the Wednesday draw, with each winner due about €16,666,666.60 after the numbers 3, 23, 31, 33, 35, 47 and Superzahl 6 were drawn.
- One winning ticket was submitted anonymously at a sales point in north Hesse and must be claimed by presenting the original play receipt to Lotto Hessen, while the two other winners are in Lower Saxony.
- The back-to-back €50 million payouts followed an unprecedented dry spell of roughly 40 draws without a top‑prize winner that built up overflow funds and pushed successive jackpots to the statutory €50 million cap.
- A separate Eurojackpot draw on Tuesday produced 15, 22, 24, 34, 42 (Eurozahlen 4 and 7) and the top prize went unclaimed, leaving about €31 million for the next Eurojackpot draw.
- Officials remind players that the odds of a Lotto 6aus49 jackpot (six numbers plus Superzahl) are about 1 in 140 million and point to standard claim rules and problem‑gambling support phone lines for anyone who needs help.
