Ole Fredrik Sveen
Ole Fredrik Sveen, 53, is a culinary school teacher from near Oslo, Norway, who recently gained media attention after receiving a notification that he had won 1.2 million kroner in the Eurojackpot, only to discover it was a mistake. The state lottery operator, Norsk Tipping, mistakenly informed him and 47,000 other players of large winnings due to an error in currency conversion. Despite his initial excitement, Sveen's hopes were dashed when he learned he had actually won a modest 125 kroner. He expressed disappointment in the lottery's handling of the situation but managed to find humor in it, stating he would still celebrate his small win.
