A Swedish player has brought home 1.25 billion at Eurojackpot.
It is the highest profit in Sweden ever.
– It is absolutely fantastic, says Sofie Hodén, communicator at Svenska Spel.
The total profit is SEK 1,254,052,648, which is the highest profit ever in Sweden, according to Sofie Hodén at Svenska Spel.
– It’s absolutely fantastic, it will be super fun to call the winner and tell, she says.
According to a press release from Svenska Spel, this is the ninth time that the jackpot is going to a Swedish player, but this is the first time that it will be a Swedish billion win.
“Never been nearby”
The winning numbers were 3, 11, 30, 35, 50 with star number 4 and 5.
According to German picture, the chance of reaching the jackpot was one of 140 million.
– We have never been near a sum like this. The biggest win that has previously gone to a Swedish player at Eurojackpot was just over SEK 561 million, says Hodén in the press release.
The winner receives legal advice
Svenska Spel is still trying to get hold of the winner. The billion win will be paid in connection with a bank meeting, where the winner will receive legal and financial advice.
– It is important for us that the winner can land in his new existence as a billionaire in as safe as possible, says Hodén.
Another Swedish player dotted five rights and won just over SEK 3.1 million on Tuesday night.
