Over 100 million euros in total paid out to Tipp24 online lottery players
2007: 23-times all six numbers, four new millionaires and a million euros for just three correct numbers to round off a great year
With four new millionaires and more than 3.4 million lottery winners in total, Hamburg-based Tipp24 AG boasts an impressive number of lucky winners in 2007.
During the past year 23 Tipp24 winners successfully picked all six lottery numbers. Among them was one loyal Tipp24 customer who claimed the highest jackpot in German Lotto history of over 45 million euros on 5 December 2007. He shared this record amount with two other lucky winners and still pocketed around 15.1 million euros. During the year, a further two jackpot winners enjoyed prizes of around 4.3 and 2.9 million euros.
In 2007 three Tipp24 customers also picked the right numbers for the additional Spiel77 lottery. One of them is now the proud owner of some 2.3 million euros. A further 19 players each picked up 100 thousand euros for their numbers in the Super6 game. To round off a fantastic year, one lucky player from the state of Baden-Württemberg whose Tipp24 ticket had just three winning numbers won one million euros in the special draw.
In total, Tipp24 players won over 100 million euros in the “6 out of 49” lottery alone during the past year.
Jens Schumann, founder and Executive Board member of Tipp24 AG says, “These figures once again underline the great popularity of our service. Tipp24 not only makes online lottery playing fast and easy but also offers numerous additional services free of charge. We are particularly pleased that we could send notification of winnings to so many of our two million customers.”
