Incredible Win
Austrian Wins 111.5-Million-Euro Jackpot
For a player from Salzburg, luck paid off in spectacular fashion on Friday: The Europot was won in EuroMillions. Exactly 111,516,282 euros are heading to Salzburg—making it the third-highest prize in the 40-year history of Austrian Lotteries.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen In the drawing on September 11, the numbers 1, 7, 15, 39, and 50 were drawn. The two Star numbers were 1 and 11. The lucky winner from Salzburg had exactly this combination on their ticket.
Three selections—and the very first one was correct
What’s particularly remarkable is how the win came about: According to the Austrian Lotteries, three picks were marked on the standard ticket. That actually wouldn’t have been necessary, because the “5 plus 2 correct numbers” were already in the first pick.
In addition, a two-draw period had been selected on the ticket. It wasn’t until the second draw that the big win came through.
Third-Highest Win in Lottery History
The 111.5 million euros is only the third three-digit million-euro win in Austria and, as such, the third-highest win in the 40-year history of Austrian Lotteries.
The catch to this good fortune
The odds of winning a EuroMillions jackpot with 5 correct numbers and 2 stars are approximately 1 in 139.8 million; for “6 out of 45,” they’re about 1 in 8.1 million—making a major win extremely unlikely. Playing regularly can also lead to financial problems and gambling addiction; the lottery should be viewed solely as entertainment and played only within a predetermined, affordable budget.
The Europot was last won in Austria about a year and a half ago. In March 2025, a win2day user even set the all-time Austrian record with a win of 250 million euros. In second place in the national high-win statistics is a win2day user who won exactly 240 million euros in December 2023.
This marks the 20th time the Europot has been won in Austria.
Next Million-Euro Jackpot on Sunday
For lottery fans in Austria, the action continues as early as tomorrow, Sunday. The Austrian Lotteries is offering an 8-fold jackpot, with a prize of 11 million euros up for grabs.
In the next EuroMillions drawing this coming Tuesday, however, the prize is 17 million euros.
