Eurojackpot is one of ONCE’s most popular lotteries and a sure way to provide good luck to people all throughout the country. In fact, this game of chance has brought in more than 80 million euros in the last week, split between two big rewards for two winners.
It’s important to know that Eurojackpot is played all across Europe, with up to 19 different countries taking part. Spain is one of these countries, thanks to the ONCE (Spanish National Organization of the Blind). In the game, you have to pick five numbers from a table of 1 to 50 and two more numbers, called “suns,” from a table of 1 to 12. Every Tuesday and Friday in Helsinki, the winning numbers are drawn.
One of the best things about this lottery is the huge jackpots, which start at a guaranteed minimum of 10 million and can go up to 120 million. This time, the jackpot was 70,718,366.90 euros, which went to a German. If he doesn’t claim it within the time limit, he would lose the prize.
His country has three years from the date of the draw to claim the award, which is a good thing for him. After that time, any money that hasn’t been claimed is used to pay for special draws or new projects within the lottery’s budget. It is not yet clear if this winner would claim the prize when the week-long claim period ends or if it will stay unclaimed until further notice.
This Friday, Euromillions will leave its millionaire prize in a provincial capital.
In Spain, the time limit for claiming a prize is quite different. If you bought your ticket at a real ONCE (Spanish National Organization of the Blind) store, any unclaimed money within 30 days following the draw goes to the State Treasury. However, if you bought the ticket online, the organisation will pay for it automatically.
The Eurojackpot draw on Tuesday, March 31st had these winning numbers:
05 15 18 20 35
Soles: 07 08
Eurojackpot is a huge lottery in Europe that is sold at the same time in Spain and 18 other countries in the European Economic Area. You have to estimate 5 numbers out of 50 and 2 suns out of 12.
