Norway’s state-owned gambling operator Norsk Tipping said 47,000 Eurojackpot participants were told on 27 June that they had won life-changing sums after a Friday draw, only to learn later the prizes had been overstated by a factor of 100. The miscalculation stemmed from a manual error while converting euro-denominated winnings into Norwegian kroner; in one case, a player’s apparent NOK 1.2 million (about US$119,000) windfall was corrected to just NOK 125. The company removed the inflated figures from its website and app the following evening and stressed that no incorrect payments were issued. Chief Executive Officer Tonje Sagstuen apologised and resigned on 28 June, with Chief Operating Officer Vegar Strand taking over as interim CEO. The Norwegian Gambling Authority has opened an investigation, and Culture Minister Lubna Jaffery described the incident as “completely unacceptable” for the country’s sole licensed gaming provider. Norsk Tipping said it is reviewing its internal controls after a series of technical problems over the past year.
