Frequently Asked Questions
What is special about prize category 8?▾
Prize tier 8 is unique: if you match no main numbers but hit the additional number, you win a free play worth €1.50 for the next draw. This makes tier 8 one of the most frequently won outcomes in Austrian Lotto (about 1 in 16).
How long can I redeem my winnings?▾
Prizes can be claimed within 3 years from the draw date. Smaller amounts can be redeemed directly at retail outlets. For larger amounts, contact Austrian Lotteries directly.
What is the highest jackpot ever paid?▾
The highest lottery jackpot in Austria was over 8 million euros. Since the pool is fed by a smaller market than in Germany or the USA, the jackpots grow more slowly, but remain considerable by Austrian standards.
