One lucky player won €209 million SuperEnalotto draw in Italy

€209 (about $243) (SuperEnalotto)

The August 2019 SuperEnalotto draw in Italy resulted in a €209 million jackpot for one fortunate player whose ticket had all of the winning numbers. It is the second-

largest lottery victory in the history of Europe.

It was acquired for €1 ($1.16) at a small establishment Bar Marino in Via Cavour 46, Lodi, which is close to Milan, according to lottery authorities who confirmed that the

winning ticket was purchased there.

Jackpots in the SuperEnalotto are never limited, and prizes exceeding 500 euros are subject to a 20 percent tax on the excess over that amount.

The greatest lottery prize ever won was more than double that amount, and a single winner might have risen to the ranks of the world's richest individuals, with a bank

account to equal that of Michael Jordan and Kanye West's. As of that time, the jackpot was the third-highest prize ever awarded in the game's history.
