Albstädter wins 100,000 euros in the German television lottery!

The joy can hardly be greater! A 60-year-old woman from Albstadt hit the jackpot with the German television lottery and won an impressive 100,000 euros with her MEGA ticket. Christian Kipper, the managing director of the Deutsche Fernsehenlotterie gGmbH, didn't miss the opportunity to personally congratulate the lucky winner and thank her for the trust she placed in the lottery. Schwäbische.de reports that over 767,000 people took part in the competition last year and a total of around 40 million euros were paid out in the lottery. Among the winners, 76 people were able to win sums of more than 100,000 euros, with 14 of them even becoming millionaires.

But that's not all! The German Television Lottery attaches great importance to promoting the well-being of the community. At least 30 percent of the income flows into charitable projects through the German Relief Organization Foundation. Last year around 50 million euros were distributed to over 300 social projects in Germany. These funds primarily support children, young people, families, seniors and people with disabilities or serious illnesses.

Important support in the region

In the Baden-Württemberg region, 33 projects benefited from funding of over 5.7 million euros. There was very special support for the Albstadt “Tafel”, which received financial resources for a new refrigerated van in order to be able to continue its important work. In addition, Caritas Schwarzwald-Alb-Donau in the Zollernalb district received almost 70,000 euros for its food bank offering in Albstadt. This funding helped to cover personnel costs and made it possible to issue food vouchers and a subsidy for increased energy costs.

This initiative shows how diverse the support is that comes with winning the German television lottery. In 2023, the lottery also provided emergency aid totaling 30 million euros. Press portal highlights that 23 million euros went to Tafel Deutschland e.V. and its regional associations, while the remaining 7 million euros were invested in other social projects. The funded organizations were able to expand and strengthen their support offerings without any personal contribution.

A sustainable contribution

Another aspect that should not go unmentioned is the number of volunteers who are active in Germany. Over 75,000 volunteers ensure every day that the food banks remain operational and can help those in need. The German Television Lottery not only wants to make a major financial contribution, but also strengthen solidarity and community work within society.

Given that over 13 million people in Germany are affected or threatened by poverty, the role of food banks and the support they provide is essential. With every ticket that is purchased, you make a valuable contribution to the social structure and to improving the living conditions of many people. The term “German” represents not just a language, but a community that is characterized by solidarity and support. Wikipedia describes this aptly.
