The highest prize paid out in the European lottery, which had a 58 million euro jackpot, failed to reach 5,000 euros. In Portugal, all winnings above 5,000 euros are taxed by a 20 percent flat rate.


Overall, 45 players won the fourth prize after correctly selecting 6 of the 7 winning numbers, which equated to four numbers and both the star numbers.


The total for this coming Friday’s draw is expected to climb to around 70 million euros. The winning numbers for the Tuesday night draw were 3 – 25 – 28 – 34 and 50, while the star numbers were 1 and 11.
