Saga, a resident of Åstorp, Sweden, won 100,000 SEK on the televised Triss lottery segment on TV4’s Nyhetsmorgon this past Wednesday. According to Svenska Spel, the win followed a series of coincidental events where the number six appeared repeatedly during a game night, leading the winner to select ticket number six for her televised appearance.
The Path to a 100,000 SEK Lottery Win
The journey to the TV4 studio began during a casual game of Yahtzee with friends. Saga reported that after rolling multiple sequences of sixes, her boyfriend, Anton, suggested she purchase a Triss ticket. Following that intuition, she bought a ticket online. Upon scratching it, she revealed the three required television symbols that grant participants a spot on the national broadcast.
Svenska Spel reports that Saga’s first reaction was to call her mother, who initially feared an emergency due to the late hour of the call. By Wednesday morning, Saga appeared on Nyhetsmorgon with Anton supporting her from behind the scenes. She once again selected ticket number six, resulting in a 100,000 SEK prize.

Saga is the first person from Åstorp municipality to appear as a TV-Triss scratcher in 2024, according to Ludvig Hällström, a communicator at Svenska Spel Tur.
Future Utility of Lottery Winnings
While the win is significant, the winners have no immediate plans to spend the funds on luxury items. Saga and Anton, who purchased a house approximately one year ago, intend to put the money toward home maintenance. “There is always something to fix with the house, so it will certainly come in handy,” Saga stated following the broadcast.
Ludvig Hällström of Svenska Spel Tur noted that the company values these outcomes, stating, “It is fun when a successful game night leads to an even bigger surprise.”
