Joker is becoming more expensive: Now Austrians are threatening to escape great money!

From now on it is time to rethink in Austria! The joker is now becoming more expensive: Instead of 1.70 euros, a tip now costs 2 euros, as the Austrian lotteries announced on March 19, 2025. This price increase not only brings with it higher costs, but also brilliant chances of winning. The main prize in first place is now an average of 210,000 euros, which should encourage players to try their luck. In addition, the other profit ranks also benefit, around five correct numbers now bring 2,000 euros more than before, and an upgrading from two to 2.50 euros is introduced in the last rank. However, around 30 percent of Austrians already do not want to bear the additional costs, which makes the effects of this decision a challenge for many, as reported on 5 minutes. A unfortunate incident recently shows how important it is to take part in the game: an unfortunate player did without 425,000 euros because he had not chosen the joker.

background to the EuroMillions

The situation becomes even more exciting if you consider the euroillions. According to Win2day, draws take place twice a week on Tuesday and Friday. The EuroMillion pot can reach up to 130 million euros, especially during the special education, such as the Euromillions Superpot, which takes place up to four times a year. During the draw, the players first choose five numbers from a pool from 1 to 50, followed by two "star numbers" from a scale from 1 to 12. The accuracy of the number of numbers is crucial, since each number can only occur in one draw.

It remains to be seen whether the price increase for the joker will be successful at the next draw. But one thing is certain: higher profits attract more players, and the tension around the euroillions remains high, which opens up a chance for many to realize their big dream - whether with a joker or the euroillions.
