19 Portuguese Players Win €532 Each in Latest EuroDreams Draw

Nineteen lottery players in Portugal each claimed €532.62 in Thursday's EuroDreams draw, though the €30,000 monthly jackpot remains unclaimed. Portugal Santa Casa announced results from draw 017/2026 on February 26, with no first or second-prize winners across the entire European lottery network, triggering another rollover.

The winning combination for draw 017/2026 was: Main Numbers: 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 36 and Dream Number: 4. To claim the jackpot, players needed all six main numbers plus the Dream Number—a combination that eluded every participant across the eight-country footprint.

Portugal's performance in the draw reflected the country's typical participation level. Beyond the 19 third-prize winners, Portugal saw 829 fourth-prize winners (€34.59 each), 11,065 fifth-prize winners (€4.87 each), and 63,443 sixth-prize winners (€2.50 each). The €2.94 million allocated to prizes across all nations underscores how EuroDreams' pari-mutuel structure divides funds among all winners in each tier.

For the 19 Portuguese third-prize winners, the €532.62 payout falls below the €5,000 threshold, meaning no stamp duty applies and winners receive the full amount. Prizes must be claimed at an authorized Portugal Santa Casa outlet or online account within 90 days; the official website (jogossantacasa.pt) remains the only definitive source for validation and claim procedures.

Portugal's drought at the top tier extends back months. The country's last EuroDreams jackpot winner emerged in August 2024—the only resident to claim the first prize since the game's European rollout in November 2023. Throughout 2025 and early 2026, no Portugal resident has won either the first or second prize, though third-prize wins have remained consistent.

The next draw—draw 018/2026—is scheduled for Monday, March 2, 2026 at 20:00 Western European Time. The jackpot will again offer €30,000 monthly for 30 years. Tickets cost €2.50 and are available at Portugal Santa Casa retail points and online. Players select six numbers from 1 to 40 and one Dream Number from 1 to 5. Draws occur twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays.

For annuity winners claiming prizes above €5,000, the €30,000 monthly payout is transferred via direct bank transfer to a Portugal-registered account, with tax obligations handled by the Portugal Revenue Department. The fixed-annuity structure—unlike jackpot lotteries where top prizes accumulate—means the base prize level remains consistent until won. If more than three players across all countries hit the jackpot simultaneously, the payout switches to a single lump sum divided among winners.

Portugal Santa Casa reminds players that unofficial result aggregators are not authoritative sources. Third-party platforms may display outdated or incorrect information, potentially causing winners to miss claim windows. For the February 26 draw, any player holding a ticket matching five main numbers should verify third-prize eligibility directly with Portugal Santa Casa to confirm their €532.62 eligibility.
