Czech player wins record €120M Eurojackpot prize, largest in the game’s history

A Czech player won the joint-largest Eurojackpot prize in history on Tuesday night, setting a new national record in the process, Euro Jackpot writes.

The jackpot was worth €120 million.

On collecting his winnings, the middle-aged man left quickly and insisted he needed to catch a train.

“The prize exceeds the previous record of 2.466 billion crowns from May 2015,” Martin Babec, manager of Czech lottery operator Allwyn, said.
