The Biggest German Lotto Jackpot
In 1974, German Lotto paved the way of allowing people to be instant millionaires by simply joining the draws. Deutscher Lotto- und Totoblock (DLTB) managed this game together with 15 other lotteries. Once a lottery is under DLTB, it is surely trusted and legal as DLTB is a government office that monopolizes the governance of German lotto games. All the 15 lotteries are also under the cooperation of Lotteriegesellschaften. The majority of the German homes is glued to their TV screens on Wednesdays and Saturdays for the draw schedules. They have all their hopes tied up in their individual yearning for a better life.
Ever since German Lotto was introduced, it has become the biggest national lottery in the country. This is for the fact that many people are drawn to play the game because of the very attractive amount of the jackpot prize. For Wednesdays, the jackpot price starts at €1 million while on Saturdays it starts at €2 million. The exciting thing about this is that the jackpot prize rolls over to the next draw when there is no winning ticket. This is the reason why in every roll over, more and more people are seen in the long queues of lottery outlets and more and more people are logged in to their own lottery accounts online.
So far the biggest jackpot prize was given away in December 2007 where the amount of €43,382,458 was divided by three winning tickets. Meaning, all three players perfectly matched the 6 numbers plus the Super Number during the draw. While on October 7, 2006 just one lucky winner took home a jackpot cash prize of €37,688,292.
The German Lotto is consistent in giving away too many cash prizes. As a matter of fact, there is already an estimated amount of €5 billion cash prizes given every year.
