Chaos in Swiss lottery, winner million Swiss Francs is recalled
In Switzerland, a very chaotic lottery took place live on television during Christmas. Big winner and shortly after bad luck was Andreas Bürkli who missed out on a million Swiss Franc (888,000 euros). For Andreas Bürkli it was a lottery dream that came out when his name was announced by the German singer Herbert Grönemeyer. Yet this dream would never be granted to him, because the Swiss public television channel SRF did not apologize much later about the fact that Bürkli was wrongly chosen as the winner by a technical mistake.
