The first prize pot in the Eurojackpot had to stand for a long time and was up to 872 million kroner before it finally smoked tonight – and that to a Norwegian player. The Norwegian millionaire shared the prize pool with a Finnish player who also had all 5 + 2 straight.
It became double Nordic when the big pot smoked in the Eurojackpot. Friday’s Norwegian Eurojackpot winner ends up in a good fourth place on the list of the biggest Norwegian million prizes with his 436 million kroner after sharing the pot of 872 million kroner with a Finnish player.

Million-rekka
The two Nordic 1st prize winners had both guessed their way to this winning streak:
1 – 8 – 33 – 38 – 43
Star Rating: 2 – 6
1 million to Tynset
The national winner of 1 million kroner may end up a bit in the shadow of Friday’s Norwegian 1st prize winner. Nevertheless, it was a very happy woman from Tynset who received the winning message from Hamar. She was in a community center in Nord-Østerdalen where she and her band were rehearsing before a dance party the next day.
– Helledussan, is that true? I think I will have a heart attack here, she answers when Norsk Tipping reveals that she has won.
She wanted to use the premium to repay her mortgage.
