We are happy to inform that 2 lucky South African Lottoland players joined the winners' list after they placed their bets on the German Lotto. For more information, you can read the article about Lottoland winners in South Africa. 

1. R1,4 BILLION (€90M): Christina (EuroJackpot)

Congratulations to Christina, a (former) office cleaner who has smashed not only Lottoland record but also the world record for an online gaming pay-out! Christina made only her second bet with Lottoland on EuroJackpot and it turned out to be an inspired selection. Apart from quitting her job, Christina hopes to take a long dreamed-for trip across the United States with her lottery betting windfall. She will also make sure to treat her mother since it was mum who suggested the winning selection of numbers.

2. R350 Million (€22.3M): Matthias (German Lotto)

Our previous biggest winner arrived in late April 2016, when Matthias from Germany banked over €22 million. The 36-year-old won using numbers selected by his wife, and has pledged to spend his winnings on his family - as well as buying himself a new Ferrari! Matthias took the option to remain anonymous when we flew him over to pick up his cheque from us in Gibraltar, but we can assure you that he is smiling in this photo!

3. R218 MILLION (€14M): Michael (German Lotto)

In February 2016 Lottoland welcomed our second highest lotto winner, to Gibraltar to present him with his cheque. Michael, a modest family man, requested his identity be kept private, as he wished to enjoy his millionaire lifestyle in private. Despite his huge win, Michael intends to keep on working and insists that his winnings won't change him.

4. R94 Million (€5.8M): Anonymous (German Lottery)

A slightly delayed wedding present was awarded to another big winner from Germany, who elected to remain anonymous. Shortly before the likeable restaurateur could go on honeymoon with his new husband, Lottoland contacted him by phone with some extremely good news. An impressive jackpot of €5.8 million from the German Lottery really put the icing on his wedding cake!

5. R93 Million (£5M): Mr Logan (Irish Lotto)

Our biggest British winner to date was Mr Logan, who enjoyed the so-called 'luck of the Irish' when he won over £5 million by betting on this always-popular lotto. When we spoke with Mr Logan he said that he felt like he was 'living in a dream', but that he plans to spend some of his windfall on an upgrade to his car as well as sharing some of the money with his family.

6. R62 MILLION (€4M): Anonymous (El Gordo)

Spain's El Gordo, also known as the Spanish Christmas Lottery, takes place every December on the 22nd of the month. It is considered the largest lottery in the world, thanks to the volume of money that is paid out. Thanks to Lottoland, a syndicate of players outside of Spain were able to bet on the results and walked away with €4 million to share between themselves.

7. R50 MILLION (€3.2M): Mario (German Lotto)

Matching 6 numbers and the bonus ball meant Mario stepped right into our biggest winners list. The Italian native had already started planning his dream life when he arrived at Lottoland to collect his winner's cheque. He plans to take his family back to his homeland and settle in the Apulia region in Southern Italy, where he intends to enjoy a leisurely life managing a rural farm.

8. R45,5 MILLION (€2.9M): Adam (Polish Lotto)

A truck driver from the Midlands became a millionaire thanks to his 60p line on the Polish Lotto. He was met by none other than Chris Tarrant at his winner's ceremony in London, where he was presented with his novelty cheque. Lucky winner Adam started playing through Lottoland as he enjoyed being able to bet on the results via our official app. The career trucker has been behind the wheel for much of his adult life, and despite enjoying his job he hinted that the windfall might be the chance he needed to pursue other life goals.

9. R28,2 MILLION (€1.8M): Nina (EuroJackpot)

35-year-old Nina from Germany was sitting at home with her husband when she had the idea to try a bet on EuroJackpot. They hadn’t had a go for a couple of months but decided to have a crack, choosing a selection of numbers related to friends and family. They were just one number away from the top prize, but their big win means that they have already started planning trips abroad, with Australia high on the list.

10. R18,8 MILLION (€1.2M): Mathias (Powerball)

Mathias found out about Lottoland when he was searching for ways to bet on the big American Powerball. That search certainly paid off when he won over a million with his very first bet on that lottery product. Mathias lives and works in Germany but would like to invest in a house in Scandinavia, as this was where he spent many happy childhood vacations. 

11. R15,6 MIllion (€1M): Michael (Germany - Instant Millionaire)

23-year-old Michael from Wolfsburg became one of our youngest Lottoland millionaires when he won by betting on Powerball. Car salesman Michael had no plans to blow his cash on a fancy sports car though, he planned to support his local business and buy a top-of-the-line VW instead!

12. R14,4 Million (€917K): Denis (EuroJackpot) 

NBA fan Dennis from Germany really made a slam dunk with his big win from betting on EuroJackpots in May of 2017. He was already planning a trip Stateside but promised to do it in style after winning big with Lottoland, as he planned to upgrade his American road trip with a nice sports car and a trip to see his beloved Golden State Warriors play in San Francisco. 

Since our launch in May 2013, Lottoland has gained over 9 million customers worldwide and paid out hundreds of millions in prizes. And we hope and expect to pay out hundreds of millions more!
