Saturday's Lottery Draws: €19 Million in German Lotto and Eurojackpot Wins

Saturday, February 21, 2026, was an intense day for lottery enthusiasts across Europe. In Poland, Totalizator Sportowy conducted the standard Lotto, Lotto Plus, and Mini Lotto draws at 10:00 PM. Experts remind winners of applicable tax regulations; in Poland, a lump-sum income tax of 10 percent is collected from every win exceeding 2,280 zloty. The history of Polish Lotto dates back to 1957, when the first draw was held under the name Totolotek, initiating the era of mass number games in post-war Poland. In the European market, particularly significant news came from Germany, where in the popular game "6 aus 49" the prize pool for first-tier wins reached a level of 19 million euros. In Spain, the state operator Loterías y Apuestas del Estado announced the results of the Saturday National Lottery, where the total prize pool across all categories amounted to 42 million euros. The first prize in this draw was 600,000 euros per series (60,000 euros per ticket - décimo). Meanwhile, Friday's Eurojackpot draw, despite lacking a main winner, proved lucky for Poles, who recorded several high-value lower-tier wins. „This has been an exceptional week for European players, with massive jackpots across several countries simultaneously.” — Lottery Spokesperson The next draws are scheduled for the beginning of the coming week, and jackpots in most countries will continue their upward trend.
