Wonderful gift: Six days before Christmas Eve, on the 4th Sunday of Advent, everything revolved around the third sevenfold jackpot in the history of the lottery – and therefore ten million euros! Two lucky winners can each look forward to five million euros.
The very first seven-fold jackpot in the 36-year history of the Austrian Lotto was played in November 2018 – and at the same time resulted in the highest single win to date: around 15 million euros was transferred to the account of a Lower Austrian.
Five million each to the winners
This year, on the fourth Sunday of Advent, it was “only” about ten million euros – but about the third seven-fold jackpot in domestic history. A lucky solo player would have secured second place in the all-time ranking of the most rewarded winners, but two players from Lower Austria and Burgenland guessed correctly and thus each received exactly 5,199,031.70 euros, the Austrians reported. lotteries in a broadcast. on Sunday evening.
While the “right six” 5, 11, 27, 28, 39 and 44 were ticked on a system ticket in Lower Austria, the Burgenland prize came from a quick tip.
Lotto fever across the country
That there would be an eight-fold jackpot for the first time because no one had guessed the six correct numbers was more than unlikely for math experts even before the draw on Sunday. On Saturday, up to 200 picks were registered every second. A total of 11.5 million number combinations were submitted.
