Romanian Lottery's Summer Special Draws feature 7.59 million euro Loto 6/49 jackpot

The Romanian Lottery (Loteria Română) will hold its Summer Special Draws on Sunday, 12 July 2026, with the main Loto 6/49 game carrying a category I jackpot of over 39.74 million lei (more than 7.59 million euros). The draws are scheduled to begin at 18:35 local time, with six games on the programme: Loto 6/49, Joker, Loto 5/40, Noroc, Noroc Plus, and Super Noroc.

For these special summer draws, the lottery operator has supplemented the category I prize pool with additional funds: 100,000 lei for Loto 6/49, 50,000 lei for Joker, and 25,000 lei for Loto 5/40. Standard single-variant ticket prices remain unchanged at 9 lei for Loto 6/49, 8 lei for Joker, 6 lei for Loto 5/40, 4 lei for Noroc, 3 lei for Noroc Plus, and 2 lei for Super Noroc.

The most recent draw, held on Thursday 9 July, produced 28,460 wins across all games with a total payout exceeding 1.97 million lei. No player matched all six numbers in Loto 6/49, allowing the grand prize to roll over and reach its current level.

Jackpots on the line

Beyond the flagship Loto 6/49 prize, several other games carry significant accumulated amounts heading into Sunday's event. The Noroc game has a cumulative carryover of over 3.31 million lei (more than 632,400 euros). Joker's category I jackpot stands at over 1.60 million lei (more than 306,800 euros), while its category II offers over 338,900 lei (more than 64,700 euros). Noroc Plus carries a category I amount of over 411,500 lei (more than 78,500 euros). Loto 5/40 has a category I carryover of over 376,300 lei (more than 71,800 euros) and a category II sum of over 35,600 lei. Super Noroc rounds out the roster with a cumulative prize exceeding 305,300 lei (more than 58,300 euros).

When the big prizes last fell

The most recent Loto 6/49 category I win occurred on 12 February 2026, when a single player claimed 22.9 million lei (approximately 4.5 million euros). That winning ticket was purchased online through the amparcat.ro platform and included three Loto 6/49 variants along with one Noroc variant, costing a total of 28 lei. It was the first top-tier prize awarded in 2026.

An even larger payout was recorded on 9 November 2025, when a player won nearly 49 million lei (around 9.8 million euros). That ticket was also purchased online, directly from the Romanian Lottery's official website.

Sunday's format and outlook

The Summer Special Draws are a seasonal fixture in which the Romanian Lottery temporarily boosts the top-tier prize funds across its three core numerical games. With the Loto 6/49 jackpot exceeding 39 million lei, easily the largest active prize among all six games, public participation is likely to run above the level of a typical Sunday draw. If no ticket matches all six winning numbers drawn on Sunday evening, the entire sum will roll forward into the next scheduled draw, pushing the jackpot even higher.
