The previous Czech record from 2015 stood at CZK 2.466 billion, which the new win has now surpassed. The winner will keep less of the amount than it might seem at first glance. That's because they will have to pay CZK 437 million to the state in taxes and fees. After these deductions, the winner takes home an amount approaching CZK 2.5 billion in net profit. irozhlas.cz ↗ idnes.cz ↗
