70 million euro jackpot: unknown person from Hesse beats the odds!
On Friday, October 17, 2025, there was sensational news from the Rhine-Main area: An unknown player cracked the Eurojackpot and secured the incredible sum of 69,169,88.10 euros, which corresponds to around 70 million euros. This is further proof that gambling is also very popular in Hesse. Wetterauer Zeitung reports that the winning numbers were 18, 21, 34, 35, 46 as well as the euro numbers 2 and 3. This sequence of numbers was only played once across Europe, which means that the entire jackpot goes to Hesse.
But that wasn't all: two other prizes in the second prize category were won in the same draw. One player each from Baden-Württemberg and one from Poland can look forward to around 1.2 million euros. In the third prize category, eleven lucky pilots also won big, with a total winnings of 122,747 euros, which were distributed across various federal states, including Lower Saxony, Brandenburg, Saxony and Hesse again.

Hesse's lucky streak
We can already record this mega win in Hesse as the third big jackpot win of 2025. At the beginning of the year, lucky pilots from northern Hesse already had a betting pool that won an impressive 87.9 million euros - a truly record-breaking amount, which became the second highest win in the history of Lotto Hessen. Even the all-time record of 90 million euros won in the Rhine-Main area in May 2021 is directly linked to this young gambling fortune.
To confirm the win, the lucky player must present the original game receipt to Lotto Hessen. Tips are also given anonymously in around 2,000 sales outlets in Hesse. In his congratulations to the winner, Martin J. Blach, Managing Director of Lotto Hessen, also provided some helpful tips on keeping the prize secret. After all, many players probably don't want the tsunami of attention that comes with such a win. Wetterauer Zeitung
