An unknown individual has made headlines in the Czech Republic, after the country’s prime betting company, SAZKA, announced that the winner of a Europe-wide lottery’s billion-crown jackpot was Czech. His luck may be seen by some as two-fold, because the win came before the expected arrival of new legislation taxing lottery winners. The Eurojackpot is a transnational European lottery, which was first launched in March 2012. The Czech Republic joined in 2014 and has since had two winners.
