Eurojackpot rolls over to 520 million PLN as three Polish players win 706,849 PLN

Tuesday draw numbers and prize rollover

The Eurojackpot draw on Tuesday, 6 October 2026, concluded with no player matching all seven numbers across participating European nations. The winning combination drawn in Helsinki consisted of the primary numbers 7, 12, 19, 28, and 50, alongside the Euro numbers 1 and 6. Because the first tier went unclaimed, the top prize rolled over to an estimated 520 million PLN for the subsequent draw scheduled for Friday, 9 October 2026. Drawings take place twice weekly in the Finnish capital under the administration of lottery operator Veikkaus Oy. Tuesday sessions occur between 20:15 and 21:00, while Friday drawings are conducted between 20:00 and 21:00, with retransmissions published online through the official Lotto portal.

European second and third tier winners

While the top jackpot remained untouched, eleven players across Europe matched five main numbers and one Euro number to claim second-tier prizes. Each of these winners received 883,793.90 euros. Six of the winning second-tier tickets were registered in Germany, two in Denmark, two in Czechia, and one in Norway. The third prize tier, which requires correctly guessing all five main numbers without either Euro number, produced 16 winners across participating European lotteries. Each of these holders earned 107,334.30 euros, with seven winning tickets sold in Germany, two in Hungary, and single winning slips purchased in Denmark, Norway, Spain, and Italy.

Polish payouts, tax regulations, and lower tiers

In Poland, three players matched five main numbers to take third-tier prizes of 706,849.80 PLN each. Under national regulations, any lottery winning exceeding 2,280 PLN is subject to a mandatory 10% flat tax. Totalizator Sportowy, the state-owned operator managing the Lotto brand in Poland, deducts this levy at the moment of payout before remitting the funds to the tax office. Lower prize categories in Poland generated thousands of payouts, including 45 fifth-tier winners receiving 1,084.10 PLN for matching four main numbers and one Euro number. Additionally, 80 players won 680.30 PLN in the sixth tier, 107 took 378.50 PLN in the seventh tier, and 1,032 matched two main numbers and two Euro numbers to secure 114.50 PLN in the eighth tier. Minor tiers yielded 1,884 payouts of 77.80 PLN in the ninth tier, 4,351 payouts of 60.70 PLN in the tenth tier, 5,866 payouts of 60.70 PLN in the eleventh tier, and 24,566 payouts of 42.20 PLN in the twelfth tier.

Game structure, prize pools, and historical records

Eurojackpot launched across Europe in March 2012 and entered the Polish market on 9 September 2017, with its first Polish drawing held on 15 September 2017. The lottery spans 18 European countries, allowing participants to choose five numbers from 50 and two numbers from 12 at a cost of 12.50 PLN per ticket. The game distributes its prize fund across twelve distinct tiers, allocating 36% of the pool to the first tier, 20% to the twelfth tier, 1.00% to the fifth tier, and 0.80% each to the fourth and seventh tiers. The largest prize in Polish lottery history was recorded on 12 August 2022 in Krotoszyn county, yielding over 213 million PLN. That total exceeded the previous Polish mark of 193 million PLN won in Łódź Voivodeship on 10 May 2019, as well as the domestic Lotto draw peak of 36,726,210.20 PLN set in Skrzyszów in 2017.
