A woman in her 50s from Lillehammer hit the Lotta numbers on Saturday and was able to cash in a whopping NOK 7.7 million. This is what Norsk Tipping writes on its website.
The woman from Lillehammer was at home when Norsk Tipping suddenly called. She and her roommate were actually going to the cinema, but the plans were suddenly changed.
– No? Have I won that much? Now I’m starting to break into a cold sweat here, says the woman to Norsk Tipping.
Want to buy your dream home
She has already made plans for what the winnings will be used for:
– Now I’m going to buy my dream home. In addition, I will take my partner on a trip at Easter. This is the best Saturday I’ve ever had, she says.
Saturday’s Lotto jackpot was extra large since no one got seven straight last Saturday. The pot contained a total of NOK 30 million, which was divided among four people.
19-year-old from Otta won NOK 969,000
The local luck didn’t stop there this Saturday night.
Apprentice carpenter Adrian Toset (19) from Otta in Inlandet was at work to work in the hours so he could take the Easter holiday when Norsk Tipping called on Saturday. He was drawn as Saturday’s Joker candidate and had by chance delivered Joker two days earlier, Norsk Tipping informs.
He won NOK 969,000.
– It feels completely sick, Toset told Norsk Tipping after the TV broadcast.
Toset has always thought that only the elderly win in games such as Lotto and Joker, but as proven – everyone has an equal chance of winning. He also pointed this out to his family.
– I called grandfather. He has been playing for many years and never won, also suddenly I win. He was very happy for me. My whole family was very happy, he says.
The 19-year-old will use the Joker winnings reasonably sensibly.
– Maybe deposit something at BSU, maybe a new car … invest a little. At least I will save a good deal, says Toset to Norsk Tipping.
