Eurojackpot Won by Czech Ticket for €120 Million

The capped €120 million payout triggered large overflow prizes to lower tiers, leaving the next draw to start at the €10 million minimum.

Overview

  • A ticket sold in the Czech Republic matched all seven numbers in the Helsinki draw on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, and secured the legally capped €120 million jackpot.
  • The winning numbers were 5, 11, 23, 33 and 42 with Euro numbers 10 and 12, as confirmed by national lottery operators.
  • Several second-tier tickets each won about €4 million, with winners identified in North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony (two winners), Thuringia and Norway.
  • The Czech jackpot ticket has not been publicly claimed and operator Allwyn is checking whether the play was made online or at a shop while Czech rules mean a 15% source tax may apply to the payout.
  • Eurojackpot draws are held under supervision in Helsinki and results are checked centrally in Münster, the top prize is capped at €120 million so excess funds flow to lower tiers and the next draw will restart at the guaranteed €10 million level.
