On Friday, January 23, the first Lotteries Day of the year will once again offer a chance to turn a lottery product (e.g. a lottery ticket or a break-open or scratch-off ticket) into a free admission ticket.

2025 enters the history books as the year of 485 top prizes, 43 millionaires, and a record-breaking 250 million-euro win in EuroMillions.

The new year has just begun, and who isn’t hoping for a mega year filled with mega fun?

Experience the excitement of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics up close. As a top partner of the Austrian Olympic Committee’s Austria House, Austrian Lotteries is giving away a unique travel package for two people from February 6 to 9, 2026.

Once again, just in time for the turn of the year and the traditional New Year’s greetings, there’s a matching scratch-off ticket. The ticket goes under the name “Viel Glück” (“Good Luck”) and might just give you an extra dose of good luck in the form of a cash prize.

The festive season is upon us, and nothing imbues elegance and splendour more than a Christmas tree decorated in shimmering red and elegant gold.

It’s time for the next Lotto Bonus Draw: there will be another chance to become a lottery millionaire on Friday, December 12.

On December 2, Lebenshilfe Austria and Austrian Lotteries awarded prizes to eight innovative organisations and initiatives working towards a more inclusive society and the removal of barriers for people with disabilities.

An exciting week is shaping up for EuroMillions: on Friday, December 5, the prize for “5 plus 2 correct picks”, i.e. for the 1st prize tier, will be upward of 100 million euros, even if the Europot is cracked by then.

Let’s face it, Christmas often means a whole mess of parcels under the Yule tree.
