Norsk Tipping corrects Eurojackpot prize alerts after currency-conversion error
Norsk Tipping said a conversion error caused thousands of Norwegian Eurojackpot winners to receive alerts showing incorrect prize amounts on Friday 27 June. The lottery said it corrected the values by Saturday night and that no incorrect payments were made; chief executive Tonje Sagstuen resigned the following day after apologising.
The error prompted incorrect prize notifications and the state lottery’s chief executive to resign.
