A lucky person in Copenhagen can now call themselves Denmark’s biggest lottery winner ever after winning a record-breaking prize of 760 million Danish kroner. The lucky ticket was purchased at a 7-Eleven store in Østerbro and was revealed as the winner on Tuesday evening. Danske Spil (The Danish Gaming Authority) confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that they had identified the winner of the huge prize. The winner, whose identity has not been disclosed, expressed overwhelming joy in a press release from Danske Spil: “This is huge, absolutely enormous. Imagine that it’s me, holding the exact winning numbers, and that I am incredibly fortunate to have won Denmark’s largest prize of three-quarters of a billion Danish kroner.”
