Lotto app helps student become Germany’s first mobile lottery winner

(Hamburg, 2 June 2014) Shortly before the Saturday night draw of Germany’s state-run lottery »6aus49«, a Lotto24 customer quickly submitted his numbers via his smartphone app. Lucky for him! Thanks to his six correct numbers, he can now look forward to winnings of EUR 638,846.90. The 27-year-old student from Saxony-Anhalt can hardly believe his luck.

Petra von Strombeck, CEO of Lotto24 AG, states: ‘We are delighted that a Lotto24 customer is the first mobile lottery winner in Germany. This first major win underlines the trend towards submitting lottery numbers on the go. Playing the lottery has never been so easy and convenient!’
