Austrian misses lottery win: 203,996 euros because of yes” error!

The lottery draw on June 11, 2025 once again gave misleading results for players in Austria. Despite having the correct numbers for the joker draw, which would have promised a prize of 203,996.75 euros, an Austrian came away empty-handed because he did not tick “yes” for the joker. This reports 5min.

In this drawing, no contestant matched the six main numbers, resulting in an empty jackpot. However, there was another player who had guessed the correct joker numbers, but also without the “yes”. It's not the first time players have found themselves in a similar situation due to such oversights; The previous week, three betting slips had the correct joker combination without ticking the necessary “yes”.

Repeated losing streaks

A careful look at the statistics shows that between 10 and 32 tips with the correct six numbers come up empty every year. About 30% of betting slips do not contain a “yes” for the joker, which significantly reduces the chances of winning this lottery. The case from February 2024 is particularly tragic, where the highest sum of money lost of 803,886.30 euros had to be counted due to a missing “yes” on a filled betting slip.

The June 11, 2025 lottery numbers were 3, 7, 8, 14, 34 and 40, while the additional number was 18. In addition, the following LottoPlus numbers were drawn: 1, 3, 24, 26, 29 and 44. In this draw, however, there was also a winner who won almost 80,000 euros with a fiver and the additional number.
