Nearly 2.9 Million Euros in Lottery Winnings Head to the Westerwald - German lottery player wins €2.9 million—just one digit shy of €35M jackpot
A lucky lottery player from Germany's Westerwald region has scooped nearly €2.9 million. The win marks the second million-euro prize in Rhineland-Palatinate this year alone. The ticket, costing just €105, was only one correct Superzahl away from the €35 million jackpot.
The winner matched enough numbers to secure a life-changing sum but fell short of the top prize by a single bonus digit. Despite missing the €35 million jackpot, the €2.9 million payout still ranks among the region's biggest wins of 2024.
Lottery officials confirmed the ticket was purchased in the Westerwald area. So far, the winner has not come forward to claim their prize. Over the past five years, Rhineland-Palatinate's lottery winnings have followed national trends, with steady results and only minor yearly variations. This latest win adds to the state's growing list of high-value payouts. The first million-euro prize of the year was claimed earlier, though details of that winner remain undisclosed.
The unclaimed €2.9 million prize awaits the lucky ticket holder. Lottery organisers have urged the winner to check their numbers and step forward. The Westerwald region now celebrates its second major win of 2024, reinforcing Rhineland-Palatinate's streak of high-value payouts.
