Bavaria: Oberbayer wins 1.1 million euros in the lottery

Munich (dpa / lby) - A lottery player from Upper Bavaria has won 1.1 million euros. "I've been playing the same four-week ticket for over 40 years, I've never won and now this," said the 68-year-old pensioner, according to Lotto Bayern on Thursday. In Wednesday's drawing, the six winning numbers 2, 9, 11, 16, 39, 48 matched one of the 12 fields that the man plays weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It was a great relief not having to turn over every penny, said the winner of EUR 1,117,490.90. He still wants to continue playing the lottery and otherwise you continue as usual and "definitely" stay on the ground. "Of course, our children and grandchildren should also benefit from the profits."
