Search for Uncontacted 409 Million Kronor Lottery Winner Intensifies

Svenska Spel is intensifying efforts to locate a mystery lottery winner who has not been contacted since winning 409,505,916 kronor in a recent draw. Despite attempts to reach the winner through numerous phone calls, emails, and SMS over the weekend, the individual remains unresponsive. This unusual scenario has prompted the lottery company to consider a home visit as a last resort if communication is not established by Tuesday.

Sofia Hodén, a representative from Svenska Spel, stated that such a prolonged difficulty in contacting a winner is unprecedented for the company. She speculated that the winner might be unreachable due to being on vacation or potentially other personal reasons. Hodén expressed confidence in the company’s ability to locate the winner eventually, highlighting their successful track record in similar situations.

Interestingly, Svenska Spel has a strict policy of not reaching out to the winner’s relatives during the search and maintains confidentiality regarding the winner's identity until direct contact is made. This approach underscores their commitment to respecting the personal privacy of their winners while striving to fulfill their duty of delivering the significant prize.
