Norsk Tipping, Norway's state-owned lottery operator, mistakenly informed around 47,000 players that they had won substantial sums in the Eurojackpot due to a conversion error from euros to kroner. Following the error, the company issued a text message three days later, apologizing for the confusion and disappointment caused. Many players, like Ole Fredrik Sveen, initially felt joy upon receiving their notifications, only to discover the truth of their small actual winnings. The incident sparked concern about the potential financial implications for those misled by the erroneous messages.
We deeply regret what has happened, and on behalf of us at Norsk Tipping, I would like to apologise to everyone affected by this.
At first you're ecstatic and happy about the message you got, that says you won 1.2m kroner... After 15 minutes he grew suspicious and started checking Norwegian news sites.
