Lotto 6 aus 45
On 7 September 1986, the first draw of Lotto “6 aus 45“ (Lotto “6 out of 45“) in Austria was carried out. Thus started the success story of Austrian Lotteries.
Lotto “6 out of 45” is Austria’s favourite lottery game. The “6 out of 45” formula is customised to the gaming behaviour of Austrians and the population size of the country, which leads to a small number of top prizes, attractive mid-tier prizes, and many low-tier winnings. The lottery draws are held twice a week on austrian television (ORF), on Wednesday and Sunday.
On 1 October 2017 the Lotto extra-draw was introduced: LottoPlus. Participating in the LottoPlus draw gives your Lotto bets a second chance. Thereby, you can double the excitement of playing and winning Lotto.
The absolute Lotto top winner was a player from Lower Austria. On 21 November 2018, he was the only one to hit the sevenfold jackpot and thus won 14,926,157.30 Euro prize money.
