The savings package greeted: the state wants to get a billion euros via Lotto & Co. Costs that stay on our tobacco meal – and which they could fight to survive. However, the waves are high in another gamblingcausa: a scratchless that appeared in 2023 ensures that they are vertebrae.
The planned increase in gambling tax could push directly to the tobacco meals. In any case, this stems from an internal letter that is currently circulating between the hard -working small companies. And that ensures maximum uncertainty!
Accordingly, the State wants to get a billion euros in tax revenues to fill the budget hole in this way. The Austrian lotteries plan a shortening of the committee in response. However, this would further weaken the economic basis of thousands of transformers and also endanger jobs, according to criticism.
“It is becoming increasingly difficult for us”
Especially locations in structurally weak regions would be threatened in their existence. “It is becoming increasingly difficult for us,” complains transformer Michael Bursch from Pöchlarn in Lower Austria. There is also a warning for an explosion of illegal gambling. A fact that is at the expense of tax revenues.
The Austrian lotteries are also not very enthusiastic about the budget measures: “The toilet is our most important sales partners and must remain,” said spokesperson Patrick Minar. “It would be tragic if it was shaken for this success model.”
Wiener revealed a demolition with 60,000-euro-rubelle
However, the waves go up in another gamblingcausa. As reported, the scratch of “1 year of Christmas!”, Which was released in 2023, is currently taking care of. Due to the two missing words “per game” in the winning conditions for the most important win of 5000 euros per month, which you receive for a whole year, around 200 happy knights have been reported to lawyer Oliver Peschel. They all demand the main prize of 60,000 euros each because of the small error among the lotteries.
Not wrongly, as the Vienna Commercial Court assessed, among other things. A Viennese who had already made Peschel aware of the Faux Pas at the end of 2023, it spoke the main prize of 60,000 euros – they have already been paid. Also on its appearance – however, a total of three symbols for the main prize were printed on his appearance on the two coded games (see photo below).
In the worst case, there is a risk of loss of billions
The lotteries, which had made a “error” in the conditions as they admit, now want to go to the highest court if necessary. No wonder, in the worst case the owners of 270,000 lots were able to claim 60,000 euros – a loss of billions.
But lawyer Peschel is also confident. He hires “good opportunities” for his customers. And believes that the majority of lotteries have already thrown them away.
It seems strange that some customers reported in 2023 – and that they had also reported those mistakes to the lotteries. It is unclear why the error -based scratch -scratch was not immediately withdrawn.
