Lovitură istorică la Loto 6/49: un bilet de doar 8,50 lei, jucat la Oradea, a adus cel mai mare premiu din istoria jocului

On August 13, 2026, the Romanian Lottery announced a record Loto 6/49 prize of over 52.83 million lei, equivalent to over 10 million euros. The winning ticket, a simple bet of 8.50 lei, was purchased in Oradea. This marks the largest prize in the game's history, surpassing previous records. The drawn numbers formed a rare pattern of consecutive pairs. The winner has 90 days to claim the prize, which is the second major win of the year, following a February win of nearly 23 million lei. The Romanian Lottery remains a topic of interest, especially in Sibiu, where local winners have emerged despite recent conflicts with local authorities regarding gambling regulations.
