Woman Who Hung Up on Svenska Spel Call Discovers She Won 22.8 Million Kronor

Swedish woman wins 22,794,800 SEK Eurojackpot prize, Digi Mart USA News (Örnsköldsvik Municipality, Sweden): A woman in her 70s from Örnsköldsvik Municipality did not recognize the number when Svenska Spel called on Tuesday evening, and she declined the call. Only around 11 p.m., shortly before going to bed, did she check her Eurojackpot row and discover it was worth 22,794,800 kronor.

“I just pressed the call away. I didn’t know who was calling so late, and I hardly believed the message before I had checked the row myself,” the woman said with a laugh.

As she went through the numbers, the matches kept growing. In the November 10 draw she ended up with five correct numbers and one star number.

“First it was two correct, then three, and then I called for my husband. It was just right after right.

We couldn’t believe it was true,” she continued.

When Svenska Spel later reached her, her joy was clear. The confirmation came after a night of considerably less sleep than usual.

“It’s so nice that you’re calling so it’s confirmed! I’ve only slept two hours.

I’m so happy, but I really can’t believe it. It’s completely unbelievable!

It’s an enormous sum,” she said enthusiastically.

The woman is a pensioner who has played one row on Eurojackpot every Tuesday and Friday for several years. She and her husband already enjoy life, but the win will allow for renovations at home and more trips.

One country has long held particular appeal: New Zealand. Pictures of its beautiful nature have fueled the dream of experiencing it in person someday.

“I’ve seen pictures from there and it looks so beautiful. We like to travel and now we can do it even more.

We’re pensioners, so maybe it will be soon,” she said.

Plans for the first celebration also took a new turn. The couple first considered buying something special to cook at home, but then realized they could let someone else stand at the stove.

“At first we thought we’d buy beef tenderloin and cook at home, but then we realized that with this sum we can even go out to eat! It opens up completely new possibilities,” she concluded happily.

The winning ticket was submitted online through Svenska Spel’s website.
