The lottery jackpot was not hit on Wednesday either. Some people in Switzerland had hoped for 45.3 million francs. Now the excitement is focused on the next draw on Saturday evening - when the prize will be 50 million francs.
The lottery company Swisslos, which provided the information on Wednesday, was already expecting around 750,000 people to try their luck at hitting the ever-increasing jackpot before last weekend, according to the Keystone-SDA news agency.
Swisslos is the game that has produced the most millionaires in Switzerland. 173 players have become millionaires since the game was introduced in 1970.
The biggest jackpot ever won was a good seven years ago: 70 million francs were up for grabs in December 2016. However, three participants had to share the jackpot. They each received 23.4 million francs.
