What You'll Learn
How to choose your numbers
To play Lotto Austria, you need to select six numbers from 1 to 45. You can choose your lucky numbers manually, or you can opt for a Quick Pick, which will give you a random selection.
- Go for a mix of odd and even numbers. It's rare for all odd or all even numbers to be drawn, so a mix is a good idea. The best combinations are 2 odd and 4 even, 4 odd and 2 even, or 3 and 3.
- Look at past results to see which number groups are omitted. For example, in the combination 5-12-17-31-39-44, there are no 20s.
- Track the number of games skipped since the last win for each of the winning numbers. Play the numbers that are out, as they are likely to come up.
- Choose numbers that add up to between 106 and 170. Sums within this range account for over 70% of jackpots won.
- Include at least one long shot in your selection. Numbers that have been out (lost) for four games or less account for about half of the winning numbers drawn.
- Avoid consecutive numbers. Six consecutive numbers have never been drawn in any state or international lotto game.

The different ways to win
The Austrian Lotto is simple and straightforward, offering very impressive prizes and some of the best odds of any European national lottery. The game uses a 6/45 format, meaning players choose six numbers from 1 to 45. If you match all six numbers, you win the jackpot.
The odds of winning the first prize jackpot are one in 8,145,060. However, there are several other ways to win prizes. The second-largest prize is awarded to players who match five of the six main numbers, and the odds of doing so are 1 in 1,449,612. Matching four of the six main numbers results in the third-largest prize, with odds of 1 in 35,724.
The odds of winning the smallest prize are 1 in 16, and this is awarded to players who match only the bonus ball. The second smallest prize is awarded to players who match three main numbers, and while it looks like a big jump from the smallest prize, the odds are quite close at 1 in 48.
There are eight prize tiers in total for the Austrian Lotto, the first being the jackpot. To increase your chances of winning, you can play the additional Joker game or use the Combo bet feature to choose more than six numbers.

Congratulations on your win! Now, let's get started on how to claim your Austrian Lotto prize.
Firstly, it's important to note that the claims procedure varies depending on whether you purchased your ticket online or from an authorised retailer. If you bought your ticket while visiting Austria, you will need to claim your prize while you are still in the country or return to Austria to do so.
If you win a prize of up to €1,000 in Austria, the winnings will be paid into your online account or you can collect them from an authorised retailer. For prizes exceeding €1,000, the winnings are paid into your bank account after a four-week period.
For prizes up to €1,000, you can claim your winnings from any official lottery retailer. For prizes between €1,000 and €80,000, you will need to take your winning ticket to official prize offices located across Austria. If your prize is over €25,000, you must collect your winnings from the National Lottery headquarters in Brussels.
Additionally, if you are playing the Joker game, you will need to have the correct Joker number sequence to win. The Joker number is composed of six numbers from 0 to 9, and it is automatically generated for Lottoland players.
