Overview
- A single ticket in the Czech Republic won the Eurojackpot top prize on Tuesday, May 26, taking the statutory cap of €120 million.
- Because the jackpot had reached its cap, the overflow boosted the second prize pool and produced five winners who each receive about €4,042,351.
- Four of those second-tier winners are in Germany and one is in Norway, including a player in the Düsseldorf area who bought a nine-field WestLotto ticket for €18.75.
- Eurojackpot draws are held in Helsinki and results are checked in Münster before regional lotteries publish quotas, and the game will restart at the €10 million minimum for the Friday, May 29 draw.
- The Eurojackpot requires matching 5 main numbers plus 2 Euro numbers to win the top prize, has a €120 million cap and a starting jackpot of €10 million, and the Czech payout sets a new national record.
