Eurojackpot: children's birthday parties have brought over €415,000 to Croatians

An elderly man from Ogulin, Croatia, won over 415,000 euros in the Eurojackpot lottery by consistently choosing numbers based on the birthdays of his children and his own birthday. He had played the same combination for years, believing it was connected to family traditions. Upon checking his ticket at the retail location, he initially thought he had won a smaller prize but later confirmed the large win after comparing the numbers with the draw results. His family was surprised and skeptical at first, thinking it might be a joke. The winner has not yet decided how to spend the money but plans to continue playing the game. This case highlights the common practice among lottery players of selecting personal numbers tied to significant dates, despite statistical odds remaining unchanged.

His family did not believe him: The birth dates of his children made him a real fortune in the Eurojackpot

A man from Ogulin won the Eurojackpot lottery with a prize of €415,489 after playing for several years using combinations based on his children's and his own birthdays. The winning ticket was purchased at Ulica Vladimirja Nazora 15, according to Croatian media reports. Initially skeptical, he thought the win was smaller but confirmed it upon closer inspection. His family initially did not believe him, thinking he was joking. He has no concrete plans for the money yet and intends to continue playing Eurojackpot but with different numbers. This marks his ninth 5+1 win in Croatia this year, and the next draw will take place tonight with a jackpot of €59 million.
