When someone wins the EuroMillions and wins a jackpot of 130 millions of euros, the question arises as to what amount you will actually receive. Since in these games it is important to take into account withholdings and disc taxes. In Spain, as in many other countries, lottery prizes are subject to tax, although there is an initial threshold exempt from taxation.
In the case of the 130 million jackpot, the first 40,000 euros are tax-free, allowing winners to receive this part of the prize without tax deductions. However, the rest of the prize, that is, the remaining 129,960,000 euros, is subject to a 20% retention.
To calculate the amount taken by the Treasury, the 20% tax is applied to the sum that exceeds the first 40,000 euros. This equals 25,992,000 euros, which is the amount that is allocated to the Tax Agency.
