Aktion Mensch lottery winner Hildesheim 250,000 euros, Digi Mart USA News (Hildesheim district, Germany): A player from the Hildesheim district has recently had a lucky break in the Aktion Mensch lottery, winning a quarter million euros.
Roughly four million people in Germany take part in the Aktion Mensch lottery. In the latest draw, a person from the Hildesheim district won 250,000 euros, a spokeswoman said.
The top prize in that draw would have been two million euros.
Aktion Mensch has not released further details about the winner.
The lottery is unusual because its operators, ZDF, the Arbeiterwohlfahrt, Caritas, the German Red Cross, Diakonie, the Paritätischer Gesamtverband and the Zentralwohlfahrtsstelle der Juden in Deutschland, also donate to social causes. Last year, about 25 million euros in donations were raised in Lower Saxony, according to the lottery.
