Two Ticket Holders Share €45.1 Million Eurojackpot Prize
There was double delight following Friday’s Eurojackpot draw, as two players successfully matched all seven numbers to share a prize of over €45.1 million. The ticket holders - one from Germany and the other from Hungary - each won a total of €22.5 million and became the sixth and seventh jackpot winners of 2017.
The winning Eurojackpot numbers were 13, 23, 31, 42 and 44, with 2 and 5 appearing as the Euro numbers. The draw also saw three players (two German and one Finnish player) walk away with €568,323 after matching all five main numbers and one Euro number.
The good news didn’t end there for the two most successful nations in Eurojackpot history, as two Germans and a Finn also claimed €200,584 by correctly matching all five main numbers in the draw.
There were a further 814,489 prize winners who claimed between €7.60 for matching two main numbers and one Euro number and €4,093 for matching four main numbers and both Euro numbers on what proved to be a prosperous night for Eurojackpot fans.

The draw also proved a momentous occasion for ticket holders from Hungary, as the country secured its first ever top prize win.
