Lottoland's Guinness World Record for biggest online gambling payout
A record-breaking win
In the summer of 2018, with just her second ever Lottoland bet, 36-year-old cleaner Christina won an incredible €90 MILLION (£79,000,000) jackpot betting on the outcome of EuroJackpot.
Although less well-known in the UK, EuroJackpot is Europe’s second most popular lottery draw and takes place every Friday night in Helsinki.
Choosing 5 numbers from 1-50 and 2 further numbers from 1-10, Christina won the lotto’s maximum jackpot after effortlessly placing a bet on her phone. Little did she know that she would soon be winning the world’s largest ever payout for a bet made online.
Lottoland – holders of a Guinness World Records™ achievement
Naturally, Guinness World Records™ were amazed at the news and contacted our team for more information.
Adhering to the highest standards of adjudication, Guinness World Records™ asked us how Christina placed her bet, how we were able to guarantee such an enormous payout, and most importantly, confirmed that Christina had been paid every penny of her unbelievable jackpot!
Satisfied that the rigorous record-breaking criteria had been met, they duly awarded the prestigious honour to Lottoland.
Commenting on the award, our CEO Nigel Birrell said, “We are absolutely delighted and truly privileged to receive this accolade. It’s just goes to show our customers can bet on – and WIN - the world’s biggest jackpots right here at Lottoland, no matter how huge that top prize might be!”
Are you Lottoland's next big winner?
We’re not resting on our laurels. With even bigger top prizes available at Lottoland almost every day, as well as our exclusive special jackpots, we don’t think it’ll be long before we’re breaking our own record. Will you be our next Guinness World Records™ title holder?

Lotteries are about much more than random numbers. There are so many fascinating stories about the people who take part in lotteries, and I enjoy being able to share those stories on these pages.
