Big win at Eurojackpot

In March 2019, a new chapter in our country's gambling history was written when the biggest New Zealand gambling win of all time fell out. A couple who played at Eurojackpot won a whopping 562 million SEK. This is the second time that the highest prize in Eurojackpot has been won in New Zealand. The first time was in 2018 when a winner in Gothenburg scored the only correct line and thus took home a profit of approximately SEK 258 million. Thus, the new record profit is more than twice as large. This is of course very pleasing for both winners and bookmakers as it shows that players do not have to bet a lot of money but can still win incredible amounts.

The winners were unaware of the mega win

It was an exciting day for the representatives. Svenska Spel after the draw of the record win at Eurojackpot. The bookmaker had some trouble finding the lucky winner. After the draw on Friday, they tried to reach the couple who submitted the winning lines. This proved to be difficult and it was not until lunchtime on Monday that the winning ambassador at Svenska Spel, Pierre Jonsson, managed to get in touch with the winners. The couple had been on a trip, they had not followed the draws and had no idea how much money they had won. The message was surprising but was of course very happily received.

SEK 50 gave a profit of SEK 562 million

The couple, who started playing Eurojackpot about a year ago, are dazed but very happy. Of course, it will take some time for such a big news to sink in. The huge win came after a relatively small bet. The pair had submitted two lines of bets, worth 5NZD. The dividend was just over half a billion kronor. Winners announce that their betting lines are based on numbers that mean something special to them, such as dates of birthdays and other lucky numbers. It obviously seems to be a lucky combination given the payoff that the Betting Lines gave.
