Roughly 47,000 people were mistakenly listed as winners. About 30,000 of them got a text or app notification telling them they had won\u2014when they had not. Naturally, many of them contacted Lotteritilsynet directly, looking for answers.<\/p>\n<p>The regulator has now confirmed that the incident broke the country\u2019s Gambling Act. It is not stopping there either. Lotteritilsynet plans to carry out a detailed review of Norsk Tipping\u2019s lottery operations. This includes not just Eurojackpot, but also Lotto and Vikinglotto games. Everything will be examined, from how tickets are entered to how winnings are paid.<\/p>\n<p>Trust has taken a hit. Lotteritilsynet made it clear that people expect their games to be accurate and dependable. <em>\u201cThe fact that several thousand players receive a notice of excessive winnings is clearly harmful to trust,\u201d<\/em> the authority said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
