Are EuroJackpot winnings taxed?
It depends where the ticket was bought. EuroJackpot is a multi-country game and each country taxes prizes differently: the UK and Ireland pay out entirely tax-free, France taxes only the interest earned afterwards, while Spain withholds 20% on the part of a prize above €40,000 and Portugal 20% above €5,000. Your prize is paid and taxed under the rules of the country of purchase.
I bought a EuroJackpot ticket abroad — where do I claim?
You claim in the country where you bought the ticket, in that country's currency and under its rules — you can't buy in one country and collect in another. Each participating lottery pays its own winners; the shared prize pool is converted at the draw-day exchange rate.
Can I stay anonymous if I win EuroJackpot?
It depends on the country of purchase. UK and Irish winners may remain anonymous; some countries (for example Spain, Portugal and Austria) publish or may publish winner details. Check the rules of the lottery where you bought the ticket.
How long do I have to claim a EuroJackpot prize?
Claim deadlines vary by country, typically 90 days to 2 years from the draw (180 days in the UK, 90 days in Ireland). Confirm with the lottery where you purchased.
When is the EuroJackpot cut-off?
Ticket sales close shortly before each EuroJackpot draw on Tuesday and Friday evening. Buy before the cut-off to be entered for that night's draw.
