Austrians voluntarily forego over 400,000 euros - how can that be?

A curious case occurred in the Austrian syndicate when a lottery player scraped past a Joker jackpot just over 424,000 euros. The player had filled out a "EuroMillions" tip certificate with the six correct joker numbers, but forgot the decisive "yes" to the joker. This meant that, although he had the right numbers, he went away empty -handed. The incident occurred on Friday, June 13th, = when the joker jackpot was to be cracked, and is just one of several who have made headlines recently. According to the Austrian lotteries, this year has already occurred twice that players with the right combination, but without the "yes", could not collect a profit.

In similar cases in the past, such as the draws from 2008 and 2016, four notes were affected, which also missed the "yes". The highest amount paid due to a missing "yes" was an impressive 803,886.30 euros in February 2024. For June 15, 2025, a double jackpot at the Joker has been announced with 500,000 euros, which could encourage many players to check their tickets again.
