history

January 1913 to December 1989

The (Austrian) class lottery was introduced in both halves of the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the “Law of January 3, 1913, concerning the repeal of the number lottery and the introduction of the class lottery” . With the associated ordinance of May 29, 1913 "[a] uf the very highest resolution of May 12, 1913", the kk Lotto-Gefälls-Direktion was entrusted with the implementation, the name of the authority being changed at the same time to kk General Directorate of the State Lottery . The total prize money was 22.268 million crowns , so the demand was correspondingly high. After the First World War , the class lottery was already run as the Austrian class lottery (the lottery tickets were printed on unused Danube state banknotes ). After Austria was annexed to the National Socialist German Reich, the class lottery became the German Reichslotterie on May 12, 1939 . After the Second World War, following the regaining of Austrian independence, the lottery became the Austrian Class Lottery again , with lots being played in 3 classes in the 41st class lottery at the beginning of 1946. The 42nd class lottery was increased to 5 classes.

In 1960, the execution of the class lottery was transferred to the Austrian gaming monopoly administration until the end of 1989 .

1986: Concessionaire for Austrian Lotteries

With an amendment to the Gambling Act of 1962, the games lotto, sports pool and additional game were introduced in Austria on September 1, 1986 . At the same time, the possibility was created for the implementation of these state games of chance to award a license to a corporation under the supervision of the Austrian gaming monopoly administration . For this purpose, the Austrian Lotto Toto Gesellschaft mbH was founded on July 2, 1986 after receiving the license . On October 3, 1991, the company was renamed Österreichische Lotterien Gesellschaft mbH .

For the time being, the class lottery remained anchored in the Austrian gaming monopoly administration and sales in the offices of the class lottery.

Since January 1990

With the new gaming law that came into force in January 1990, the legal basis was created to outsource the implementation of the class lottery as well as the letterless and number lottery games from the state monopoly administration and to assign them to a licensee. Since the beginning of the 130th lottery on May 1, 1990, the class lottery has been run by the Austrian Lotteries.

The class lottery tickets are sold in 10 branches of the class lottery, which have a sales network of more than 490 sales outlets. The printing in the case of "physical lots" takes place in the Austrian State Printing Office (§ 16 Abs. 11 GSpG). Since 2014, all branches have merged to form the Association of Branches of the Austrian Class Lottery. The association serves as a joint marketing and sales platform.

In 1999 the total winnings amounted to more than a billion schillings , the main hit was played with 50 million schillings.

The Austrian class lottery is played in six game phases, the so-called classes, in one half-year (May and November). A class lottery is played twice a year .

A lottery lasts half a year, that's 6 classes. Each class lasts exactly 4 weeks. There are 4 drawings per class. One ticket corresponds to 24 drawings. The draws take place every Monday at the Austrian Lottery Society. All tickets play continuously from the 1st to the 6th grade and can win multiple times (with the exception of the lowest five / four / two / one hit categories on certain defined dates).

In particular, the rights and obligations between the lottery collectors and the offices of the class lotteries on the one hand and the federal government, represented by the Austrian Gaming Monopoly Administration , on the other side of the contract were regulated. The regulations on this were to be made within six months of the entry into force of the Gambling Act of June 27, 1962.

January 1913 to 1945

The federal law of June 27, 1962 regulating gambling (gambling law) replaced the earlier laws with its section 55. In relation to the class lottery these were in the numbers:
