On Saturday, a man won Lotto’s Dream Win of just over SEK 101 million, something that the winner himself was initially unaware of, which News24 wrote more about then.
Have you won 101 million? Svenska Spel is looking for an unknown winner
To claim the Dream Win just like the man did, you need to have seven right on the ticket and at least two right either at the beginning or at the end of your Joker row. You therefore have to play both Lotto and Joker.
“Changes my life completely”
Only on Monday afternoon did Svenska Spel get in touch with the winner, they write in a press release. The man had no coverage on the phone before and could therefore not be contacted.
– I had no coverage on the phone and that’s why I didn’t get the good news right away. It felt completely unbelievable and surreal, says the winner, who is a man in his 70s.
Svenska Spel receives a fine of 100 million
Turid won 24 million on a spin – she’ll do that for the money: “Nu f*vlar…”
The man must do that with the winnings
The man lives in Jönköping and has been playing Lotto for 20 years, but he has never won a large amount of money before. But the profit the man collected last Saturday is SEK 101,395,537.
– Not that it was bad before, but this changes my life completely. So far I don’t know what the win will mean, but I can promise that we will buy a new car and the children will get a small crown, says the winner laughingly to Svenska Spel.

Daniel Arnkvist, communicator at Svenska Spel, was the one who had to give the man in his 70s the happy news, a moment he will never forget.
– You never forget this type of conversation. We get to be part of a moment that the winner will remember for the rest of their lives, which is of course very cool, says Daniel Arnkvist in the press release and continues:
– The winner was clearly shocked and will need a while to settle before he knows exactly how life will change. What is clear is that he is incredibly happy and grateful.
