Germany has a new multi-millionaire, but so far all that's known about him (or her) is that he lives in the southwestern state of Baden-Württemberg. Millions of Germans had played the country's lottery on Wednesday as the jackpot hit 23.9 million euros ($29.9 million), the second largest in the game's 50-year history. Two players shared the sum of 26.7 million euros last December. The winner is in no rush to claim the money, however: He has 13 weeks to present the lucky ticket to lottery officials.
