Last weekend, the Polish network of lottery retailers recorded a significant success. In the Lotto draw on Saturday, February 21, 2026, the main jackpot was hit, and the winning ticket was purchased in the Tricity area. Meanwhile, in Western Europe, particularly in Spain and France, jackpots are rolling over in national lotteries, where prize pools in the coming days are expected to reach from 3 to over 5 million euros.

Win in Tricity

The main Lotto jackpot from February 21 was won in the Polish Tricity area.

Spanish Jackpot Grows

Lack of a main winner in El Gordo de la Primitiva increased the pool to 5.2 million euros.

Jackpot in France

In Monday's draw of the French Loto, 3 million euros will be up for grabs.

The Polish lottery network has gained another millionaire following Saturday's Lotto draw. According to official announcements, the first-tier main jackpot went to one player who correctly predicted all numbers in Saturday's draw. Although the jackpot was hit, Totalizator Sportowy has not yet indicated the specific town or retail outlet where the lucky ticket was purchased. Hitting the popular "six" ends a period of a growing jackpot, though players still have a chance for high wins in additional games like Mini Lotto or Multi Multi. The success in Poland coincided with intense excitement in other European number game systems, where the lack of main winners has caused stakes to rise. In Spain, the Sunday draw of El Gordo de la Primitiva (February 22) did not produce a main-tier winner. Two participants correctly predicted five main numbers, earning them prizes of approximately 80 thousand euros each. Consequently, the projected pool for the next week has increased to 5.2 million euros. Simultaneously in France, the lottery operator FDJ announced that after no winner on Saturday (a 2 million euro pool), the jackpot for the Monday draw on February 23 will be 3 million euros. The history of the Polish state lottery dates back to 1955, when Totalizator Sportowy was established, beginning its operational activity a year later. The first number game, known as Toto-Lotek, debuted in 1957, supporting the construction of sports facilities in post-war Poland.The market situation is complemented by the results of smaller games, such as the Spanish Bonoloto or the ONCE lottery. In Poland, players' attention is now shifting to upcoming draws of the Ekstra Pensja and Mini Lotto systems. Experts remind that the chances of hitting the main jackpot remain statistically low, but regular high jackpots sustain interest in number games across the European Union, generating significant revenue for state budgets for social and cultural purposes.
