50 years of Swiss Lotto
On Lotto millionaires and jackpots
Swiss Lotto has always been about big money. But it was just over nine years before the first million was won. Only with the introduction of the jackpot system did the top prize reach the seven-figure mark for the first time. The date on which Swiss Lotto made its first millionaire was 28 April 1979. The number of Lotto millionaires has now risen to a handsome 761. If you add to that the millions won with the supplementary Joker game, there have actually been 968 wins of a million francs or more.
