Austria Lotto is the official national lottery of Austria, operated by Österreichische Lotterien GmbH, where players select six numbers from a pool of 1 to 45 to win a jackpot starting at €1 million. Drawings take place twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays, and tickets can be purchased both within Austria and online internationally.
How Austria Lotto works
Austria Lotto uses a classic 6/45 matrix with an additional bonus number, known as the Zusatzzahl, drawn from the remaining pool to determine secondary prize divisions. To participate, players choose six main numbers from 1 to 45, while the bonus ball is drawn automatically during the live broadcast to create more winning combinations.
| Pick Range | Bonus Ball | Draw Days | Jackpot Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 out of 45 | 1 (Zusatzzahl) | Wednesday & Sunday | 1 in 8,145,060 |
