CharlieH Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Always nice to see someone win like this. Although, what happens next is not always a happy ending. It can and has destroyed many relationships and lives. "Money being the root of all evil", as the saying goes. Best of luck to them ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virt Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 26 minutes ago, worgeordie said: I bet tickets are sold at the advertised price , how much is a ticket in Sweden ? regards worgeordie They have different types of lotteries in Sweden. This type postcode lottery is 170 swedish kroner pr month for 1 ticket. That's approx 630 baht. Sweden are also a part of the countries that has Euro lotto and Viking lotto Euro jackpot is the largest ones with 18 countries and the largest reward so far was 571 million danish kroner, which is about 2,8 billion baht. 10 rows of numbers for 1 draw are 750 baht. Expensive and the chance of winning first price is 1 : 95,344,220 So in theory you could play 95 million different combinations and win first price, but that would cost 7,1 billion baht, so that's not a good idea ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the translation from the Swedish postcode lottery rules. Not sure what marketing in 4.2 covers. If the TV announcement are not considered marketing, they might not had a chance to be anonymous. Winner of the Postcode Lottery 4.1 The operator conducts reports on Winners of Winnings in the Lottery which are published on TV and other media, which means that the Subscriber's name and picture may become public. More information can be found at www.postkodlotteriet.se. 4.2 The Operator will not use the Winner's name and image in marketing without before that, have obtained his consent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
