The jackpot in Bulgaria's state lottery "Toto", totaling the whopping BGN 6.135 M, survived Sunday night after failing to find winners 24 draws in a row.

In the next draw on Thursday, the jackpot is expected to hit BGN 6.75 M, which is one of the highest jackpots in the history of the Bulgarian state lottery.

The jackpot is for the third drawing of the Toto 2 6/49 game, where the lucky numbers Sunday were 2, 6, 9, 19, 35, 43.

The Toto craze in Bulgaria continues as a total of 1 500 370 tickets worth BGN 4 M were bought for the Sunday drawings, and their number is expected to go even higher for the next draw.

Last summer the person, who hit a record-high jackpot, did not come to receive the money.

The sum of BGN 6 575 225, 40 was supposed to be received by a person from the Bulgarian city of Lovech, in a 45-day period.

The Bulgarian State Lottery decided that the money should be distributed in half to them and to the Bulgarian Sports Ministry.

The State Lottery, however, has proposed to the Council of Ministers and the State Commission on Gambling that its half should be brought back to the game, adding BGN 1 M every time the jackpot falls for three consecutive times.
