7,166,000 lottery tickets were sold for the State Lottery’s New Year’s Eve draw. That is slightly more than last year. At that time, about 7.1 million lottery tickets were sold. New Year’s Eve tickets were on sale until Saturday evening at 7 p.m.
“The New Year’s Eve tickets could not be dragged in today and flew over the counter at a record rate of 2,268 per minute,” the State Lottery reports. The New Year’s Eve draw is the biggest draw of the lottery and most tickets are sold in the last few days before New Year’s Eve.
The result will be announced around midnight. The total prize money is 75 million euros. The main prize is 30 million, just like last year, when someone from Utrecht won.
