Absolutely Record Lottery Jackpot Up for Grabs in Bulgaria A record jackpot in the history of the Bulgarian state lottery Toto 2 of BGN 5.9 M might be won Sunday.
The jackpot in the 6 out of 49 game of Toto 2 has not been won in 20 weeks despite the two weekly draws on Thursdays and Sundays. The bidders are supposed to guess six numbers drawn from a pool of numbers from 1 to 49.
Once again, before the 45th draw for 2010, millions of Bulgarians as well as citizens of the neighboring countries Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, and Turkey flocked to purchase lottery tickets and cast what they hope to be the winning numbers.
The 45th draw for 2010 has also set another record the number of tickets purchases 1 091 028; these raised BGN 3.5 M in three days since the previous draw on Thursday.
Many have bought tickets for BGN 504, which allow for marking four different sets of ten numbers each; more expensive tickets allow for four sets of 13 numbers, and cost BGN 1029. A number of people have also cast tickets with 14 numbers costing BGN 3003.
The long-anticipated draw of the BGN 5.9 M jackpot is scheduled for 8 pm Sunday, and will be televised live on the Bulgarian National TV.
