EuroMillions second prize is drawn in Portugal (and elsewhere)
In the latest EuroMillions draw, held on August 8, 2025, no jackpot winner was announced. However, the draw did see some significant winners, including a Portuguese player who bagged the second prize.
The lucky Portuguese player secured a prize of €183,180.91 by matching 5 numbers and 1 lucky star. This victory was one of six second prize winners in the draw. One other Portuguese player also won the third prize, worth €12,232.11, making it a double celebration for Portuguese EuroMillions enthusiasts.
The exact numbers drawn for this draw were 2, 12, 19, 34, 44 with lucky stars 6 and 10. The jackpot for the draw was €198 million, but unfortunately, it went unclaimed. As a result, the jackpot for the next draw has increased to a staggering €214 million.
It is important to note that, according to current legislation in Portugal, lottery prizes above €5,000 are subject to a 20% stamp duty tax. This means that the Portuguese winners will have to pay a portion of their winnings to the Portuguese government.
