“There isn’t much left of the first lottery winner anyway” – Lower Austria

A pensioner from the Mostviertel is really lucky. “ The  win was just right, because there isn’t much money left from the first six anyway,” he explained to Austrian Lotteries on the phone.

“Yes, this is the second time that I’ve scored six after a nine-year break. This time it’s ‘just’ a LottoPlus six,” said the Lower Austrian. On February 7th, he was the only one to pick the six correct numbers on LottoPlus and cleared around 284,000 euros.

Almost millionaire

In April 2012 he cracked the jackpot with an Upper Austrian and was able to look forward to 950,000 euros. He used it to buy a piece of land and had their dream home built for himself and his wife.  The  children and grandchildren also got something, of course.

Quitting playing the lottery was never an option for him. “No, I kept playing out of a kind of gratitude. Grateful that I was allowed to win. And it was good.

He keeps typing

As after the last win, the children and grandchildren will also get something this time. With the rest, the Mostviertler can enjoy the rest of his pension to the full. But he won’t stop now either.

“Never, ever, I can not run away from luck. It haunts me. Six months ago I scored two fives and won around 15,000 euros, and in the Schilling days I won half a million.”
