A lottery player from Brandenburg wins a million jackpot. But there is no trace of the lucky guy.
Potsdam – In the lottery draw almost three weeks ago, a player in the Lotto 6aus49 game correctly guessed all six winning numbers and the super number. But the lottery lucky guy apparently knows nothing about his luck and has not yet picked up his million-dollar prize.
The lottery company is now publicly looking for the winner who won the lottery jackpot of 23 million euros on Saturday (June 18). According to information from Lotto Brandenburg, the lottery ticket was handed in on June 17th in a shop in Potsdam. So far, however, the lucky one has not reported.

The winning lottery ticket contained a total of seven picks that were submitted for the drawing on Saturday and Wednesday. With a fee, the ticket cost a total of 17.80 euros. The correct winning numbers were in the seventh pick and were crowned by the super number 2, which is the last digit of the ticket number. These are the winning numbers for the €23 million prize:
| Lotto winning numbers from June 18th | 18-23-26-37-45-46 |
| super number | 2 |
The lottery company is now appealing to all residents of Potsdam and visitors to the state capital to check whether there is still an unchecked lottery receipt in their pocket, in a collection cup or on their desk. “Especially after the first holiday phase, the lucky tickets sometimes fall behind,” it said. In Brandenburg and Berlin the summer holidays started on Thursday.
Lottery luck: Winners have three years to collect their winnings
If the player has misplaced the lottery ticket, he has a total of three years to collect his prize. This corresponds to the statutory limitation period. “But we hope that we will find the lucky guy very soon,” says Lotto spokeswoman Antje Edelmann.
Because the more time passes, the less likely it is that a winner will still report. If prizes are not collected, they are distributed again – for example via special draws. (sne/dpa)
