Another lottery millionaire from Hessen.
Now it was once again a lucky person from the Darmstadt-Dieburg district, which was generously funded for the third time this year, who became wealthier on Saturday, this time for a whopping 2,517,574.80 euros.
Such good news, this year they ring out with a regularity that amazes one.
Or is that subjective perception, fed by a large portion of envy?
We take a closer look and see: Hesse has actually been kissed by Fortuna this year and benefited from the lottery fair.
Eighteen players between Kassel and Odenwald have become wealthier by at least one million euros after eleven months thanks to six or more correct numbers.
Never before have there been so many in a year.
Eighteen of the 152 lottery millionaires nationwide in 2021 are significantly more than Hesse would be entitled to in relation to the population of a good seven and a half percent, if luck were distributed in a predictable way.
The most populous federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg have significantly fewer winners in relation to each other.
Where there are winners, there are also losers
And not only that. Thanks to a 90 million euro win in the Rhine-Main area through a Euro jackpot in May, Hessen now not only takes first place in the all-time record list, but also three places in the top ten.
So Hessen in front.
Happy Hesse!
And that, although the numbers for the Wednesday lottery have not been drawn high above Frankfurt in the Main Tower since 2013.
Or is the success only consistent?
Because the Hessians actually invest significantly more in their happiness than others.
According to information from Lotto Hessen, the per capita stake of 113 euros is 19 above the national average and higher than in any other federal state.
And so, despite all the Hessian feelings of happiness, the old rule of gambling applies: where there are winners, there are also losers.
Hesse is then probably way ahead in this category as well.
