90-Year-Old Pensioner Wins Huge Sum

The woman had regularly purchased lottery tickets for the last 7 years.

In Berlin, a 90-year-old pensioner won 1.5 million euros in the lottery. The woman had regularly participated in the lottery since 2019. She has now received the maximum prize possible in the social lottery. The fund from this draw not only pays out prizes but also finances social projects in Germany for pensioners, refugees, and people with disabilities.

For example, in previous years, around 70 million euros have been distributed to 400 social projects across Germany, reports rbb. German media called her victory a 'sensation' - the pensioner learned of her win after her 90th birthday.
