Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – “The customers have been going crazy since last night. We have never won such a large sum of money, a few thousand euros at most, never millions. We are elated for this person, very happy for him.” This was what Massimo Sala, owner of the bar 'Al Chicherin' in Oggiono (Lecco), told Adnkronos, where the jackpot was hit yesterday.
6 at the SuperEnalotto
, for a win of over 223 million euros.
“At the club we opened a few bottles of sparkling wine to celebrate,” he added.
The winner of the sum is still unknown: “Since our bar is inside a supermarket, we have a regular clientele who passes by every day, but we don't know who they are,” he concluded.
The number 6 in the SuperEnalotto had been missing in Italy for over a year, when it was won in Desenzano del Garda, in the province of Brescia.
So Lady Luck has kissed Lombardy again.
Before yesterday's extraordinary €223,1 million win, the second-largest jackpot ever awarded in SuperEnalotto history and the largest ever won with a single ticket, worth €5, there was another famous win, worth €209,1 million, hit in Lodi. This win, also on a single ticket, topped the list of the largest prizes ever awarded in the competition for several years.
As Agipro reports, the connection between Lombardy and the jackpot goes back a long way. Also in the province of Brescia, in Poncarale, the very first "6" in the history of SuperEnalotto was drawn in January 1998, kicking off a series of double-digit wins with the Oggiono lottery just yesterday.
Lombardy's dominance is also confirmed in the traditional Italian Lottery. In both the 2023 and 2024 editions, the top prize—€5 million—was awarded first to Milan and then to Somaglia, in the province of Lodi. This concentration of prizes cements the region as the ideal place to make your dreams come true.
