European and Austrian lottery jackpots rise

Overview

Lottery jackpots across Europe continue to rise. In Germany, the Lotto 6 aus 49 drawing on September 5, 2026, featured a jackpot of approximately €42 million with no winner. The subsequent September 9, 2026, draw saw the jackpot rise to €45 million; the winning numbers were 7, 24, 28, 30, 39, and 41, with a Superzahl of 5.

The Eurojackpot, involving 19 participating countries, saw its first-tier prize reach €23 million for the September 4, 2026, draw. Following the September 8, 2026, drawing, no player hit the jackpot, which stood at approximately €31.46 million. While the top prize remained unclaimed, several players secured secondary prizes in Germany, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. In Poland, the Eurojackpot is set to rise to 170 million PLN following the latest draw.

In Austria, the Fortuna lottery reported a growing jackpot for the ‘6 aus 45’ game. Austrian Lotteries reported a rare occurrence where the main jackpot for the ‘6 aus 45’ game remained untouched for the second time in two months, leading to an estimated jackpot of €11 million for the upcoming Sunday draw. This follows the September 9 draw, where the winning combination of 8, 11, 14, 16, 21, and 45 was not matched by any ticket. Additionally, a €600,000 double jackpot remains pending for the Joker game.
