They brought the Hessian lottery company the highest turnover in 75 years of LOTTO Hessen, around 747.5 million euros, and the state of Hesse and non-profit organizations from sports, culture, monument preservation, social affairs and the environment 265.3 million euros.

The Hessian winners earned around 404 million euros in 2023, 21 of whom became millionaires. The highest win of the year went to the Rhine-Main area with 22.5 million euros. The sales drivers in the record year were once again the European lottery Eurojackpot as well as the scratch cards and games of the instant lottery, and online sales also increased again.
