The exact amount of the first-tier prize was PLN 42,812,000 (€10,002,809.74), with the winning numbers being 5, 17, 23, 36, 37, and the additional numbers 5 and 9.

In the draw on Tuesday, September 3rd, there were also second- and third-tier prizes, including another significant win in Poland.

According to Polish law, a 10% tax is deducted from any winnings above PLN 2,280, so the final amount received by the jackpot winner will be slightly lower.

Besides the first-tier jackpot, 10 other players in Poland won third-tier prizes, each amounting to over €69,000 (more than PLN 800,000). Second-tier prizes were won three times in other countries—Croatia, Germany, and Spain.

Eurojackpot is a pan-European lottery involving 19 countries, with a maximum jackpot of up to €120 million. It was introduced to the Polish market by Totalizator Sportowy in 2017.

The next Eurojackpot draw will take place on Friday, September 6th, with a top prize of PLN 45 million.
