“The player made a one-tip bet in the LOTO game, to which he also chose to participate in the additional JOKER game. They paid the terminal operator 1.50 euros for such a bet,” explained Podobová and added that Luck relied on simple numbers when making bets.
To confirm the placing of bets, the player had generated any numbers for the LOTO game 2, 4, 12, 20, 34 and 35. It was these numbers that were drawn as winning numbers for the 1st draw of the LOTO game on Sunday, January 8, and thanks to them he won 2,997,710.60 euros.
The winner of the lottery jackpot is already the 74th player in the 30-year existence of the national lottery of TIPOS, who became a millionaire thanks to number lotteries. “The jackpot of 2,997,710.60 euros from the first draw of the LOTO game is in ranking of the highest winnings in the history of the TIPOS company, currently in 18th place,” Podobová added.
