Two second prizes of 88 thousand euros from Euromillions were won in Portugal: find out how much remains after taxes

Postal do Algarve2 September 2026 at 10:30

Tuesday's Euromillions draw, September 1st, distributed two second prizes in Portugal, each worth 88,442.56 euros. The two bets registered in the country matched the five numbers of the winning combination and one of the stars. In total, Portuguese bettors won 176,885.12 euros before taxes.

These prizes are subject to Stamp Duty, a 20% rate that applies only to the portion exceeding 5,000 euros. Thus, of the 88,442.56 euros of each prize, 83,442.56 euros are taxed, resulting in a collection of approximately 16,688.51 euros for the State for each prize.

After the tax deduction, each of the two winners should receive approximately 71,754.05 euros net. Together, the two prizes will generate approximately 33,377.02 euros in Stamp Duty for the State.

No bettor managed to match the complete winning combination of draw 070/2026, whose jackpot accumulated again. Six players across Europe secured the second prize, with the winning combination consisting of numbers 2, 10, 23, 37 and 47 and stars 3 and 5. The next Friday's draw will have an estimated jackpot of 89 million euros.

Portugal follows trend of lower wealth combined with debt reduction

A McKinsey study reveals that Portugal follows the European trend of lower household wealth, with a 1.6% decrease in net wealth per capita between 2024 and 2025, although it has significantly reduced public debt and reached a historic high in the corporate capitalisation ratio relative to GDP. The McKinsey Global Institute report warns that global wealth reached a historic high of 570 trillion dollars in 2025, but only 20% of this growth resulted from the formation of new productive capital, showing a growing dissociation between wealth creation and real economy fundamentals. The eurozone remains constrained by stagnant productivity, high savings levels and insufficient investment, approaching a scenario of secular stagnation, while the consultancy argues that accelerating productivity is the only path to simultaneously sustain income growth, wealth and economic activity.
