LOTTO 6aus45 FAQ
How to Play: All info at one glance
What is LOTTO 6aus45?
LOTTO 6aus45 is a popular number lottery from Austria. It’s just as much of a “classic” there as the traditional LOTTO 6aus49 is here, and it has been incredibly popular for decades. No wonder! You can actually win the Austrian Lotto jackpot with just 6 correct numbers!
Twice a week, our Austrian neighbors compete for millions! And now, with Lottohelden.de, players from Germany can also try their luck. The game involves picking 6 numbers from a pool of 45, plus an additional number drawn from 1 to 45. Drawings take place every Wednesday and Sunday evening in Vienna, the capital of Austria. The Lotto numbers are announced on our site under LOTTO 6aus45 Zahlen & Quoten.
How to play LOTTO 6aus45
The game principle of LOTTO 6aus45 is similar to the German Lotto. The goal is to predict as many winning numbers as possible and submit your guesses before the draw. During the drawing, 6 numbers are selected from a pool of 1 to 45. The more numbers on your ticket match the drawn numbers, the higher your prize. If you correctly pick all six numbers in a field, you win the jackpot! But even with fewer correct numbers, you can still win attractive prizes. The number of correct picks needed to win is specified in the prize structure.
Bonus Number: How do you play the bonus number in LOTTO 6aus45?
Additional Number: How do you play the additional number in Austrian LOTTO?
It’s simple! Unlike many other lotteries, the additional number is conveniently included in your regular 6-out-of-45 number selection on the ticket. For example, if you have 5 correct numbers on your ticket, the sixth number you picked might match the additional number — which would elevate you to the second-highest prize tier!
Even with 3, 4, or 5 correct numbers, matching the additional number boosts you to a higher prize category, usually awarding a multiple of the standard prize amount.
Tippen: Wie fülle ich den Österreichischen Lottoschein aus?
Bei Lottohelden.de können Sie bis zu 12 Tipps mit einem Spielschein ausfüllen. Auf einem Spielfeld kreuzt man dabei sechs Zahlen aus dem Bereich von 1 bis 45 an – der Tipp auf die Zusatzzahl ist hierin bereits enthalten. Die gewünschten Zahlen können Sie entweder nach Ihrem eigenen System einzeln auswählen oder aber per Quicktipp mit Zufallszahlen spielen. Im Anschluss entscheiden Sie, an welchen Spieltagen Ihr Tippschein teilnehmen soll: Mittwochs, sonntags oder gleich bei beiden Ziehungen? Zuletzt heißt es, Spielschein abgeben und „Daumen drücken!“

Annahmeschluss: Bis wann kann man Österreichisches Lotto spielen?
Wie beim deutschen Lotto gibt es auch beim Lotto in Österreich unterschiedliche Abgabezeiten für die Tippscheine. Der Annahmeschluss für die Mittwochsziehung ist immer um 18:30 Uhr. Am Wochenende hat man etwas weniger Zeit, um seinen Tipp zu platzieren. Sonntags müssen die Tippzettel immer schon bis um 18:00 Uhr eingereicht werden. Die erfolgreiche Spielscheinabgabe vor dem Annahmeschluss wird Ihnen mit einer Spielquittung per E-Mail bestätigt. Sollten Sie die Abgabefrist einmal verpasst haben, so verfällt der Spieleinsatz nicht, sondern gilt automatisch für die nächste Ziehung.
Ziehung: Wo und wann werden die Lottozahlen aus Österreich gezogen?
Die Ziehungen der österreichischen Lottozahlen erfolgen mittwochs um 18:45 Uhr und sonntags um 19:15 Uhr in Wien. Die Auslosungen werden von einem Notar überwacht und live auf dem österreichischen Fernsehsender ORF 2 übertragen. In der Regel erfolgt zunächst ein kurzer Rückblick auf den letzten Spieltag. Gleich danach geht’s los: Aus einer trichterförmigen Lostrommel - genannt „Glückstrichter“- werden nacheinander folgend die sechs Gewinnzahlen gezogen und in chronologischer Reihenfolge angeordnet. Gleich danach wird eine siebte Kugel als Zusatzzahl aus derselben Lostrommel entnommen. Die Gewinnzahlen für die Zusatzlotterien Lotto PLUS und JOKER werden direkt im Anschluss ermittelt.

In Tier 3, for example, matching just 5 numbers can already bring in over €1,000. And if you also match the bonus number along with your 5 numbers, Tier 2 often pays out well over €100,000.
There are also solid cash prizes in Tiers 4 to 7. And here’s something players love: even just matching the bonus number alone wins you back your stake – that’s Prize Tier 8.
So, it’s actually quite hard to walk away empty-handed!

Zweite Chance: Was ist LOTTO Plus?
Brandheiß startete in Österreich erst Ende 2017 die neue Zusatzlotterie LOTTO Plus. Dabei handelt es sich um ein innovatives Zusatzspiel, mit dem man sich im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes eine zweite Chance sichert. Für nur 0,50 € pro Lottofeld kann man mit seinen angekreuzten Zahlen einfach bei einer zweiten Ziehung mittippen. Diese folgt unmittelbar auf die Hauptziehung der Lottozahlen. Aus einer separaten Lostrommel werden hierbei weitere sechs Zahlen aus dem Zahlenbereich 1 bis 45 gezogen. Hatte man also im ersten Durchlauf vielleicht noch keinen Treffer, heißt es so „Neue Chance, neues Glück“… Der Hauptgewinn beim Lotto PLUS beläuft sich auf lukrative 500.000 € !
| Gewinnklasse | Anzahl Richtige | Chance | Gewinnsumme |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 Richtige | 1:8.145.060 | 500.000,00 € |
| 2 | 5 Richtige | 1:34.808 | 2.500,00 € |
| 3 | 4 Richtige | 1:733 | 25,00 € |
| 4 | 3 Richtige | 1:45 | 5,00 € |
Extra-Jackpot: Was ist die JOKER-Zusatzlotterie?
Das JOKER-Spiel ist das österreichische Pendant zu unserer beliebten Zusatzlotterie Super6. Da auch hier eine 6-stellige Losnummer aus dem Bereich von 000000 bis 999999 gezogen wird, decken sich die statistischen Gewinnchancen mit denen der deutschen Schwesterlotterie. Hier warten auf den glücklichen Gewinner mehr als 100.000 €. Da es sich zudem um eine Endziffern-Lotterie handelt, kann man auch mit weniger Richtigen gewinnen. Je nach Anzahl richtig getippter Zahlen erreicht man eine von 6 Gewinnklassen in denen lukrative Sofortgewinne ausgeschüttet werden.
| Gewinnklasse | Anzahl Richtige | Chance | Gewinnsumme |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 richtige Endziffern | 1:1.000.000 | 109.281,90 € |
| 2 | 5 richtige Endziffern | 1:111.111 | 10.000,00 € |
| 3 | 4 richtige Endziffern | 1:11.111 | 1.000,00 € |
| 4 | 3 richtige Endziffern | 1:1.111 | 100,00 € |
| 5 | 2 richtige Endziffern | 1:111 | 10,00 € |
| 6 | 1 richtige Endziffer | 1:11 | 2,00 € |
