If you’re looking for a state-run lottery that has one of the highest chances of winning a prize, then consider the Austria Lotto. Established in 1986, this lottery enjoys the distinction of being one of the highest paying lotteries to play. Since its inception some two decades back, the lottery has paid out over €4.546 million. This translates into an astounding return of 42-43% - enough, as the statistic shows, to give each citizen of Austria a prize 50 times over. With such inherent generosity, it’s no wonder that the Austrian Lotto is one of the most popular games in Europe. Easy Is Easy Does in the Austria Lotto The game is simply to get three of the six numbers correct. This is a 6/45 game that offers a 1 in 8,145,060 chance of winning the jackpot. While this information is meaningless to the first-time lottery player, a repeat player knows that the more you play, the higher are the chances of actually winning one of the prizes. Also, while lotto numbers are meant to be chosen at random, statistics show that some number combinations are actually drawn more than others, thus indicating the likelihood of winning. Let’s look at some of these approaches that have been known to work: Odd-Even Combinations: Betting on only the odd numbers on your ticket or only the even numbers has been known to offer a 0 to 5% of winning. That might not seem like a lot, but the chances of winning are actually more if you choose a combination of odd and even numbers, for example, two odd and four even; three odd and three even, or even four odd and two even. These combinations of odd and even numbers have been estimated as having 83% chances of winning. High-Low Combinations: In the entire range of 45 numbers, the numbers up to 22 are considered low numbers and the numbers in the 23 to 45 range are called high numbers. Selecting numbers from either of these two categories has been known to only offer a 12% chance of being drawn. If you combine numbers from both these categories, you can increase your chances drastically. About 80% of the winning number combinations have both high and low numbers in them. Summed Combinations: Another winning ploy that players have discovered is that if you choose combinations that add up to a total that lies between 106 and 170 you have higher chances of winning - combinations that add up to lower than 106 or higher than 170 apparently have a 30% chance of winning. For Austrian citizens, the €1,500,000 jackpot prize (amongst all others) is paid out completely in cash and the entire amount is non-taxable. Those living in other countries are naturally subject to the tax laws of the country they live in. Draws are held twice a week, on Sundays and on Wednesdays. In case there is no winner that week, the prize money is rolled over to the next week. For more information, visit www.thelotter.com.
