Hooray! 22 new Lotto millionaires in 2018
Nothing has changed. No one makes more millionaires than Swiss Lotto. Last year again, another 22 lucky players pocketed prizes into the millions, with winners living right across Switzerland, from Lake Geneva to Lake Constance, and from Basel to Ticino. French-speaking Swit-zerland was particularly lucky when it came to prizes in the millions. A full 10 of the 22 new Lotto millionaires come from the Suisse Romande, although the two biggest prizes of over 29 million francs were won in German-speaking Switzerland.
It all started on 10 January 1970, when Swiss Lotto’s first winning numbers were drawn. At the beginning, Swiss Lotto had no jackpot, meaning there were no Lotto millionaires. The first-ever Lotto millionaire was crowned shortly after the introduction of the jackpot rule on 28 April 1979. Since then, 725 other lucky winners have become Lotto millionaires. The largest Lotto prize of 48,598,075.75 francs was won on 23 August 2014. 2007 saw the highest-ever number of Lotto millionaires – a full 31!
