One lucky ticket-holder from Finland has hit the jackpot last week on April 14th and in the best possible way. His EuroJackpot lottery ticket has brought him a fabulous prize worth a staggering €86,970,702. This is what lottery dreams are made of! All it took was guessing the right five numbers from 1 to 50 and the right two additional numbers from 1 to 10. This is how the Finnish lottery player won his amazing fortune.

The EuroJackpot is one of the leading pan-European lotteries, alongside the famous EuroMillions game. Launched back in 2012, the fantastic jackpots in the EuroJackpot have been making headlines for years now and the game has earned millions and millions of players from all around the world.

According to the official rules of the lottery, its top prize can get as high as €90 million, which makes it one of the largest prizes in the entire lottery market. The jackpot cap has first been reached in October 2014, when a German lottery player won the entire €90 million prize. Then, in May 2015, the cap has been reached yet again, and a player from the Check Republic took home this fabulous fortune.

The Finnish player who won the EuroJackpot is actually the runner-up on the lottery’s biggest winners list, which means that he has made lottery history. Moreover, the €86,970,702 prize is also Finland’s largest lotto win, which makes it even more exciting.

Back in September 2014, another Finnish player took a EuroJackpot prize worth €61,170,752, but this recent win broke all the country’s records. While there have been quite a few Finnish jackpot winners in the EuroJackpot lottery along the years, it appears that Germany is currently dominating the top 10 winners list, with as many as 5 spots, including the top one.

The EuroJackpot lottery has made history all over Europe, with jackpots worth €90, €84, €76, €58, and €49 million won in Germany, first prizes of €86, €61, €57, €46, and €38 million in Finland, a €28 million jackpot in Slovenia, a €17 million prize in Denmark, a €15 million first prize in Italy, and many others.
