Unbelievable Lotto Luck! - Player Bankrupts the Bookmakers with Three Correct Numbers
Diving into the statistics, we see that an average of just €11.10 is paid out for threes in the "6 out of 49" draw. On December 6, the lottery player had already made a little bit of money in the Santa Claus draw. But a massive bonus was on its way - their ticket from Zwickau was drawn out of the "St. Nicholas special draw" drum, along with all the other threes from that draw. Three tickets were drawn in total, each winning a cool million euros. Among them was the ticket from Saxony. The other two new millionaires hailed from North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Württemberg.
The player from the district of Zwickau has now made history as the fifth lottery millionaire in the Free State this year.
Did You Know?
Winning a million euros with just three correct numbers in a "6 out of 49" lottery draw is extremely rare. The specific odds for this event aren't provided, but based on the general odds, it seems highly improbable. For instance, the odds of winning any prize in a standard 6/49 lottery are as follows:
- Match 6: 1 in 13,983,816
- Match 5: 1 in 55,491,792
- Match 4: 1 in 1,033,800
- Match 3: 1 in 56.7 (approximately)
- Match 2: 1 in 8.3 (approximately)
- Match 1: 1 in 2.42 (approximately)
Given these odds, it's safe to say that winning with just three correct numbers is highly unlikely. In the case of multiple tickets winning the million euro prize in a "St. Nicholas special draw," the situation becomes even more extraordinary. The odds of one ticket winning with three correct numbers are already microscopic, and the likelihood of multiple tickets achieving this feat simultaneously is practically zero.
