If the answer is not much, we think you&#8217;ll find there&#8217;s plenty of interesting and valuable information to find out. For example, did you know that two thirds of Hungarian adults regularly participate in their local lotteries? Maybe once you&#8217;ve finished reading our Hungarian Lottery Guide you&#8217;ll know what it is about games like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelotter.com\/lottery-tickets\/hungary-hatoslotto\/\">Hatoslotto<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelotter.com\/lottery-tickets\/hungary-otoslotto\/\">Otoslotto<\/a>&nbsp;that makes them so popular!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How big are Hungary lotto prizes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing that may surprise you is just how big some Hungarian lotto prizes can get, reaching ten figure sums (when converted to euros.) The all time record currently belongs to Otoslotto, which awarded a jackpot of&nbsp;<strong>Ft 6.5 billion<\/strong>&nbsp;(approximately&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac18.1 million<\/strong>) in February 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are your chances of winning Hungarian lottery draws?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-29fc84189212ff595166bc8d937acddd wp-block-paragraph\">With more modest prize amounts than the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelotter.com\/blog\/guides\/biggest-world-jackpots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">world&#8217;s top lotteries with the biggest jackpots<\/a>&nbsp;also come much better odds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the odds of hitting the jackpot in Otoslotto, Hungary&#8217;s biggest lottery, are approximately 1 in 44 million, while the jackpot odds for winning EuroMillions are closer to 1 in 139 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winning chances are even more favourable for Hatoslotto, which boasts an all time jackpot record of just under&nbsp;<strong>Ft 3 billion<\/strong>&nbsp;(approximately&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac7.4 million<\/strong>): 1 in 8.5 million!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-it-legal-to-buy-hungary-lotto-tickets-from-abroad\">Is it legal to buy Hungary Lotto tickets from abroad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-94e77adcb5bdd687340f42a329367a30 wp-block-paragraph\">While Hungary only sells lottery tickets from within the country, that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelotter.com\/\">play the lottery online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the official Hungary Lotto website, players from abroad may participate in draws, though certain restrictions may apply to the collection of prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-layout-flex uagb-block-7f87dfbc alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-1bd4cf16\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-are-hungarian-lottery-winnings-taxed\">How are Hungarian lottery winnings taxed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll be more than happy to hear that Hungarian lottery winnings aren&#8217;t subject to local taxes, meaning the advertised prize amounts are exactly what the national lottery pays out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-cc79b01e2e3be72e656767e11bf43380 wp-block-paragraph\">Still, remember that you may be taxed based on your own place of residence.

That amount was won by a single ticket on 20 September, 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One special feature of this lottery is that it holds an additional draw, meaning players get two chances to win for each entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-fa712324425d88a4776705035254202b wp-block-paragraph\">For a similar game you can currently play on TheLotter, we recommend&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelotter.com\/lottery-tickets\/italy-millionday-extra\/\">Italy MillionDAY Extra<\/a>. Like Skandin\u00e1v Lott\u00f3, MillionDAY Extra offers you an extra chance to win, as every entry is good for both the main draw, with a&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac1 million<\/strong>&nbsp;jackpot, and the additional draw, with a&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac100,000<\/strong>&nbsp;jackpot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EuroJackpot in Hungary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-75c0e2aa66009cf16a1aff0dab3efdff wp-block-paragraph\">For one more lottery you can play in Hungary or from your own home,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelotter.com\/lottery-tickets\/eurojackpot\/\">check out EuroJackpot<\/a>, which has been on sale in Hungary since 2014 and is also available on TheLotter. As a transnational lottery, EuroJackpot offers significantly larger prizes than Hungary&#8217;s local games, with a jackpot that can reach up to&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac120 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Hungarian player is yet to win the EuroJackpot top prize, although one lucky Hungarian from the countryside did break the national record by scoring&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac30 million<\/strong>&nbsp;in the 22 November 2019 draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hungarian lottery history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hungary&#8217;s history with lotteries actually goes back more than 250 years. It is believed that the first Hungarian lottery ever took place in 1770 in the city of Buda, while the first surge in draw games&#8217;s popularity occured between the first and second world wars, when lottery funds where used to help pay for various public programs for children and animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After World War II, lotteries were briefly outlawed before being reintroduced in 1956. Since then, lotteries in Hungary have continued to grow and multiply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Play Hungarian lottos anywhere, anytime!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-995da90ba17d7df2e94f92f70ddc4119 wp-block-paragraph\">Reading about Hungarian lottos is only half the fun.
