Prignitz in a lottery frenzy: million-dollar winner draws 1.1 million euros!

A lottery player from Prignitz can look forward to a considerable win. An anonymity that the lucky person would like to maintain for the time being: The jackpot of the popular game Lotto 6 out of 49 has crowned a new winner with an amount of 1,126,226.50 euros. This prize was secured on October 30th at a local lottery office, where the ticket was handed in for 36 euros. The winning numbers drawn were 15, 18, 21, 29, 32 and 33 - the super number “5” was just missing from cracking the mega jackpot, which has now grown to around 14 million euros. Nordkurier reports that three other players also won in this round and were promoted to prize category 2, including in Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia.

This is the sixth million-dollar win in 2025 that LAND BRANDENBURG LOTTO GmbH has recorded. A total of 136 players have become millionaires since the company was founded. An enormous number that underlines the popularity of the lottery among Germans. According to Statista, around seven million German citizens play the lottery regularly, with the game “6 out of 49” being the most popular, with around 29 percent of players in 2021 Statista.

Lucky in the jackpot

Anja Bohms, the managing director of Lotto Brandenburg, did not miss the opportunity to personally congratulate the anonymous winner and emphasized how important it was that the lucky ones now report to the lottery headquarters in Potsdam to register their winnings - a request that is now causing a lot of excitement.

If you look at the numbers, you could almost be jealous: In 2022 alone, 187 people became lottery millionaires. North Rhine-Westphalia had the most winners with 45 lucky lottery players. In this country, the lottery plays a major role not only as a leisure activity, but also as a source of revenue. The German Lotto and Toto Block (DLTB) recorded sales of around eight billion euros in 2022, with “6 out of 49” accounting for the largest share of this.

A win with tradition

The lucky ones, some of whom are anonymous, have found their way into the lottery business quite well, but while most players are aiming for the mega jackpot, only a small part of the population has luck on their side. Particularly interesting facts are the most frequently and rarely drawn numbers. While the number “6” was counted more than 600 times, the “13” only appears in the results around 500 times. A little anecdote that might make you smile the next time you play the lottery.

When luck comes knocking, some excitement is always in order. For many, the sky is open and the possibilities seem limitless. But for a lottery player from Prignitz it is more than just a dream - it has become reality. We are excited to see how the new millionaire will shape his future!
