Who is the lucky winner?
We know you like jackpot winner stories so much, but this one might remain untold. Why? Because Portugal allows its winners to remain anonymous. While some countries encourage those lucky ones who hit the jackpot to reveal their names and share their stories with the public, Portuguese authorities withhold all details regarding the winner if so requested.
Was this the only winner of the draw?
The lucky Portuguese was the only jackpot winner, but in total the EuroMillions draw held on February 20th, 2020 made 2,473,338 winners. With a number of 27,535,705 tickets sold for this draw, the winners ratio was pretty good. It means that for every 1,000 tickets bought, 90 won a prize. 4 ticket holders matched the 5 winning numbers and one Lucky Star, scooping €197,637 each.
Was this the first EuroMillions jackpot of the year 2020?
Certainly not! The year started in full steam and this is already the 5th jackpot EuroMillions delivered in 2020. The list of five jackpots also includes a SuperDraw prize for the special draw that took place on February 7th.
