One person swept the record-high jackpot of over BGN 5 M in the Bulgarian lottery with a ticket of BGN 1,65.

The lucky winner guessed all six numbers: 6, 12, 19, 21, 40, 41.

Over one million people took part in the latest draw of the Bulgarian lottery. The jackpot survived for more than fifteen weeks spreading the lottery fever not only in Bulgaria but in the neighbouring countries as well.

The country's largest sum earlier accumulated was three million, achieved in 1999, while the biggest jackpot won so far was in 2001 when the "happy winner" swept BGN 2,83 M.
