A single ticket has made one individual extraordinarily wealthy following the 2812th JOKER draw, as they secured a prize of €18,694,681.21. The winning ticket, which matched all five numbers, 15, 19, 25, 33, 43, plus the JOKER number 1, was the sole entry in the first category (5+1), making it one of the biggest wins in recent lottery history.
In addition to the massive first-place jackpot, two tickets in the second category (matching five numbers without the JOKER) were successful. Each of these ticket holders will walk away with €100,000. One of the second-category winning tickets was purchased in Cyprus, specifically in the village of Kokkinotrimithia, located just outside of Nicosia.
The winning numbers in the JOKER draw were drawn yesterday, sending waves of excitement across the country as news of the jackpot quickly spread. This substantial windfall for the first-category winner will undoubtedly have a life-changing impact, especially as this draw’s prize pool was particularly high.
The JOKER game, a popular lottery across Greece and Cyprus, has consistently attracted players hoping for a chance to win the large sums of money offered with each draw. The latest jackpot had been accumulating for weeks, creating a great deal of anticipation.
The lucky winner who played their ticket in Cyprus will likely step forward in the coming days to claim their fortune. In Kokkinotrimithia, the news of the local winner has sparked excitement, with many in the community eager to find out who among them is now significantly richer.
This historic win comes as a reminder of the thrill and unpredictability of the lottery, where life can change overnight with a single lucky ticket.
