First-Ever Eightfold Jackpot in Lotto History: Twelve Million Euros to Be Drawn on Sunday

A First in Lotto History

The eightfold jackpot is unprecedented: never before in the history of Austrian lotto has the six-number match been missed across eight consecutive draws. The Austrian Lotteries, which celebrated their 40th anniversary at the beginning of July, are speaking of a historic milestone in the company's anniversary year.

Interest was already exceptionally high on Wednesday. With 6.7 million entries submitted, the previous sevenfold jackpot was taken on, a volume that underscores the enormous appeal of this streak. Many players deliberately choose their numbers in the hope of landing the first top prize after eight rounds.

High Participation on Wednesday

With each additional round without a six-number match, not only does the jackpot grow, but so does media attention. Outlets such as KURIER are reporting on the record, and players are discussing lucky numbers, strategies, and favorite combinations. Sunday's lotto draw is therefore being anticipated with particular excitement.

The draw itself will take place on Sunday. Should no six-number match be tipped again, the streak would continue and the next jackpot would grow further. However, according to initial estimates, it is expected that the twelve million euros will indeed be drawn on Sunday.

Outlook on Sunday's Draw

The combination 4, 14, 27, 32, 38, and 45 thus remains the last winning line that fell just short on Wednesday. Which numbers will be drawn on Sunday will be decided live as part of the official Austrian Lotteries draw.

For lottery participants, the eightfold jackpot represents an extraordinary opportunity: never before has such a high amount been up for grabs in a single round, winnable with a single correct ticket. The Austrian Lotteries point to the anniversary year and the historic nature of this draw.
