This is always a highlight among Lotteries Days, and on Friday, October 28, 2022, it's that time again: Austrian Lotteries participants can visit Schönbrunn Zoo, which has been awarded the title of Europe's best zoo six times in a row, for free.

Just in time for this year's Halloween, the "Lucky Pumpkin" is available at retail outlets and adds a special excitement factor to the spooky and fun time, as it is filled with prizes of up to 30,000 euros.

From an Austrian perspective the EuroMillions draw on Friday 7 October 2022 is anything but ordinary.

Even if the lottery ticket or the scratch-off ticket didn’t yield the coveted main prize, tens of thousands of Austrian Lotteries players already know that a supposed “dud” will turn into a winner by the next Lotteries Day at the latest; that’s when it can open the doors to the most popular art and cultural institutions in the country.

On Monday, October 3, 2022, the sixth and thus final class of the 194th Class Lottery will start, meaning this lottery is approaching its grand finale.

The next Lotto Bonus Draw will take place next Friday, September 16, 2022, and once again, an extra 300,000 euros are waiting to be won.
