Extra suspense due to technical blunders: the Super Jackpot (45 million euros) had a lottery glitch on Saturday evening.
The lottery wheel didn’t turn! The replacement device had to be fetched. Each ball was transferred individually from one drum to the other under strict observation. Then the drawing could start. “As you can see, everything is live,” joked Lottofee Miriam Hannah.
The draw of January 15th
Lotto numbers: 5, 34, 42, 43, 48, 49
Super number: 9
Game 77: 0 4 5 6 3 6 9
Super 6: 2 5 6 0 7 2

Whether the replacement drum has given Germany new millionaires will be seen in the next few days. If nobody has cracked the super jackpot, it must be paid out.
It was not until Wednesday that a man from North Rhine-Westphalia cracked the million mark in Lotto Spiel 77. The player from the district of Warendorf got 1.3 million euros. He is already the second lottery millionaire of the year.
How do I know if I’ve won the lottery?
Shortly after the drawing on Wednesday at 6.25 p.m. or on Saturday at 7.25 p.m. you can see the current numbers online.
If you played online and won, you will receive an email and/or SMS. The acceptance points will help with the determination of the winner upon presentation of the ticket.
Smaller winnings are paid out in cash in the lottery branches. Depending on the federal state, the upper limit is between 500 and 5000 euros. You have to request larger prizes or even a main prize from the lottery offices. The lottery ticket serves as proof. Only then will the winnings be paid out.
► Tip: If you play lotto online, the winnings will be automatically transferred to the account specified when betting.
By when do I have to redeem the prize?
Lottery winners – including winners of the Eurojackpot – generally have three years to collect their winnings. The basis is Section 195 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
Who should I tell about my win?
Of course you want to share your lottery luck. But with all the joy: Experts advise against throwing a huge party right away. Lottery kings and queens should rather not say anything to anyone (except maybe their partner), take a break and plan their next steps in peace.
Do I have to pay taxes on lottery winnings?
No. Lottery winnings, like all luck-based winnings, are not taxable.
Taxes only apply if a profit is made from the lottery win. Such income, e.g. B. from investments made with lottery money or from real estate bought after winning are taxed as normal.
My syndicate won. And now?
If you play together, you win together? Not exactly. The syndicate can hit the right numbers together. But legally, the winnings can only be paid to one person, not two or three.
That is why syndicates should contractually regulate that they want to be treated on an equal footing with a civil-law partnership (GbR).
Can I inherit a lottery win?
That’s fine. However, inheritance tax is then due. Good to know: You can use a tax allowance here. It is EUR 500,000 for spouses/partners, EUR 400,000 for children/stepchildren or EUR 200,000 for grandchildren and EUR 20,000 for other persons.
Caution! Only those over the age of 18 and therefore of legal age may play the lottery. By the way, this applies to all games of chance. Even if it is possible for young people to fill out and hand in a ticket: If you win, your age will be checked. If you are under the age of 18, the prize will automatically be forfeited.
