Jackpots for the Sunday drawing

The national lottery operator Loteria Română is organizing a new series of draws on Sunday, 4 October 2026, featuring substantial prize rollovers across multiple lottery games. The headline prize is found in the flagship Loto 6/49 game, where the Category I rollover has accumulated to more than 11.85 million lei, an amount equivalent to over 2.24 million euro. The Joker game also presents players with a substantial top-tier pot, carrying a Category I rollover of more than 8.46 million lei, which surpasses 1.6 million euro. In the Noroc game, the cumulative rollover has climbed past 5.46 million lei, representing more than 1.03 million euro in potential winnings. The official drawings for all six scheduled games will take place on Sunday evening, with results scheduled for release starting from 18:30 and 18:35.

Rollovers across secondary games and prize tiers

Substantial prize pools are also at stake across the secondary lottery titles and intermediate prize tiers for the 4 October session. In the Loto 5/40 game, the Category I rollover stands at over 2 million lei, corresponding to approximately 390,000 euro, while the Category II prize pool holds an accumulated rollover of over 56,100 lei. The Joker game offers a secondary pot as well, with the Category II rollover exceeding 299,000 lei, or more than 56,600 euro. For the Super Noroc game, Loteria Română has recorded a cumulative rollover of over 478,700 lei, equivalent to more than 90,700 euro. Additionally, the Noroc Plus game features a Category I jackpot rollover exceeding 95,900 lei, representing over 18,100 euro in available prize funds.

Previous draw distributions and regional winners

The Sunday session follows the preceding round of lottery drawings conducted on Thursday, 1 October 2026. During that midweek session, Loteria Română distributed more than 16,500 individual winning prizes across all games, with their combined value surpassing 1.5 million lei. Among the highest individual payouts recorded on Thursday was a Category III prize in the Joker lottery valued at more than 52,000 lei. That winning Joker slip was purchased by a player at a local lottery agency in the city of Drobeta-Turnu Severin. The remainder of the main prize pools rolled over to build the multi-million euro totals available for Sunday.

Historical context and record payouts

The accumulating jackpots for the October draw come after a record payout recorded by the national operator earlier in the year. On 13 August, Loteria Română registered the largest Category I jackpot in the entire history of the Loto 6/49 game, delivering a prize of 52.83 million lei, equivalent to over 10 million euro. That winning ticket contained only a single simple variant and cost the player 8.5 lei at the time of purchase. The winning combination drawn on that 13 August evening was 45, 12, 13, 44, 36, and 37. Sunday drawings across Loto 6/49, Noroc, Joker, Noroc Plus, Loto 5/40, and Super Noroc will determine whether participants match the required numbers to claim the latest accumulations.
