Lottoland Winners

Here's our top ten list of the all-time biggest Lottoland winners, including details of how much they won, where they are from, and the lottery they bet on to get their big win. And who knows, if luck is on your side, perhaps your name will appear in an updated version of this article!

1. €90 Million: Christina (EuroJackpot)

Congratulations to Christina, a (former) office cleaner who has smashed not only Lottoland records but also the world record for an online gaming payout! 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-of 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. €22.3 Million: Matthias (German Lotto)

Our former biggest winning payout came 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. €14 Million: 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. €5.8 Million: 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. €5.6 Million: 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 €5.5 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. €4 Million: 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 from outside of Spain were able to bet on the results, and walked away with €4 million to share between themselves.

7. €3.2 Million: Mario (German Lotto)

Matching 6 numbers and the bonus ball meant Mario stepped right into our top 10 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. €2.9 Million: 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 betting with 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. €1.8 Million: 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. €1.2 Million: Mathias (Powerball)

Mathias discovered Lottoland while searching for ways to bet on the massive American Powerball lottery. That search certainly paid off when he won over a million with his very first bet on that lottery. 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. 

Record Irish Lottoland Winner: €220K - Mr C. (EuroMillions)

Our army of Irish Lottolanders is growing bigger day by day, and recently we broke the Irish Lottoland record when a Lottolander from Cork won the sum of over €220,000 from a bet on EuroMillions. Mr C. (who chose to remain anonymous) was just one digit away from scooping the €161 million EuroMillions jackpot, but didn't have any regrets about the near miss. After giving some money to close family, our winner hopes to be able to buy a house with the proceeds of his unexpected win.

Lottoland – Lottery Operator Of The Year

In February 2017, Lottoland was voted Lottery Operator of the Year at the prestigious International Gaming Awards. Fending off competition from a whole host of rival companies, including Camelot, Lottoland has once again proven itself to be an industry leader.

Lottoland’s CEO Nigel Birrell said, "This award is a fantastic testament to the hard work and creativity that have driven our business forward over the course of the past three years. It’s a huge honour that our achievements are being recognised by our industry peers. I couldn’t be prouder."

Lottoland: How it Works

When you sign up with Lottoland, you have the opportunity to bet on the results of international lotteries from all over the world. You're not playing the actual lottery, but you will win the amount of that lottery if you are lucky enough to pick the right numbers. Some people wonder how Lottoland can afford to pay out some of the giant lottery jackpots on offer, and whether it's all a scam! Well, as you can see from our list of top ten winners, we certainly can and do pay out the biggest jackpots. Smaller prizes are paid from the proceeds of ticket sales, and larger multi-million euro jackpots are paid thanks to our insurance companies. So if - for example - you were to win a massive US Powerball jackpot by betting with Lottoland, you would receive exactly what a ticket-holding winner in the United States would receive. No scam, only happy winners!

Since our launch in May 2013, Lottoland has gained over 8 million customers worldwide and paid out hundreds of millions in prizes. And we hope and expect to pay out hundreds of millions more!
