A Tuscany man, whose identity is kept secret, understandably so, an Italian from the small town of Bagnone, has spent 2 euros on a ticket and will take home the largest lottery jackpot in memory, a whopping 147 million euros ($212 million). Winnings are all tax-free!
The winning numbers (drum roll):
10-11-27-45-79-88
Two billion euros were bet over the past six months, half of which will be kept by the country's Treasury. Millions of Italians, and many more from across Europe and the world have lined up over the past several weeks to join in on the frenzy.
The lottery has actually started a Lottery Tourism trend. Travel agents offered "Pizza and Lottery Tickets" trips to Italy.
People crossed for a short trip from bordering France, Switzerland and Austria.
SuperEnalotto odds of winning are a tough 1 in 622 million.
