Five lucky players left the retail outlets with an extra 100,000 euros in their hands

With break-open and scratch-off tickets, you know right away whether and how much you have won.

So what's so exciting about a break-open ticket? When you enter the retail outlet, you can already know whether you have won 100,000 euros before you even leave. And there are plenty of scratch-off tickets that offer the prospect of six-figure winnings.

This year, five participants from four different federal states have already been in this exact situation: two from Styria, who each had torn open a lottery ticket with a main prize of 100,000 euros, as well as one scratch-off ticket fan each from Tyrol, Upper Austria and Lower Austria, who were also delighted to win 100,000 euros each.

Another player from Lower Austria and one from Carinthia scratched off 75,000 euros each, and 15 other scratch-off ticket fans from Vienna, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Tyrol, Styria and Carinthia were delighted to win 50,000 euros and 30,000 euros respectively.

The current popular hits are the Mega "Tiger" break-open ticket with a top prize of 500,000 euros and the "Schatzsuche" ("Treasure Hunt") scratch-off ticket with the prospect of finding up to 30,000 euros.
