Two German Players Win Multi‑Million Prizes as Jackpots Roll Over

Lottery operators say both winners remain anonymous while the draws have pushed the Eurojackpot to about €15 million and Lotto 6aus49 to roughly €39 million for the next rounds.

Overview

  • A player in Landkreis Oberhavel, Brandenburg, matched all six Lotto 6aus49 main numbers but missed the Superzahl on Saturday, 29 August and is entitled to €4,025,429 as the sole second‑class winner.
  • Anonymity rules and state procedures mean the Eurojackpot ticket sold in Kreis Soest, Nordrhein‑Westfalen, that hit five numbers plus one Eurozahl on 28 August will receive €1,600,306.40 after formal claim and verification.
  • Official draw numbers published by lottery authorities were Lotto 6aus49 (29 Aug): 9, 18, 28, 39, 41, 48 with Superzahl 6; Eurojackpot (28 Aug): 23, 34, 39, 45, 49 with Eurozahlen 1 and 4; and Eurojackpot (1 Sept): 9, 14, 35, 43, 50 with Eurozahlen 3 and 7.
  • Because no top prizes were hit, the Eurojackpot rose to about €15 million for the 1 September draw and Lotto 6aus49 climbed to roughly €39 million for the Wednesday, 2 September draw, drawing higher public interest and larger pools of entries.
  • Players must file wins with their state lotteries before payouts and should note long odds (roughly 1 in 140 million for a Lotto jackpot), variable submission cutoffs by state, and the BZgA helpline for gambling support at 0800‑1‑37‑27‑00.
