Queue in shop waiting to buy lottery tickets STORYLINE: Germans in their droves were buying lottery tickets on Friday in the hope of winning a bumper jackpot of 38 million euros (56 million US dollars) after no winner was drawn earlier this week. The German lottery, called the Lotto, is drawn on Wednesday and Saturday nights. Wednesday night's undrawn jackpot was a massive 30 million euros, which went unwon, and the jackpot now stands at 38 million euros, a record in the history of the German lottery. In Wednesday's draw, four players had got the six numbers right, each winning around 860,000 euros. But they failed to guess the 'Super Number' to claim the top prize. One Berlin news agent was doing a roaring trade in the Lotto tickets, and most punters had a clear idea of what they would do with the prize money. There has been no top prize winner since October, which means the grand prize has rolled over 11 times. The German lottery is government-sponsored and was started in 1955. Prize money is tax free.
