A currency conversion glitch at Norway’s state gambling company led thousands of Eurojackpot winners to believe they had won massive prizes—until the mistake was corrected.
Thousands of Norwegians briefly believed they had become millionaires after receiving inflated prize notifications from state-owned gambling company Norsk Tipping.
The error affected several thousand Eurojackpot winners who were told they had won far more than they actually had. According to local media, a technical mistake during currency conversion caused the eurocent amounts to be multiplied by 100 instead of divided by 100, leading to the inflated figures.
Norsk Tipping said the correct amounts were later updated and no incorrect payouts were made. Following the incident, CEO Tonje Sagstuen apologized and announced her resignation.
