Finland Viking Lotto Overview |
The Finland Viking Lotto was the first multinational lottery in
Europe, and is played among the Scandinavian countries of Denmark,
Finland, Norway and Sweden, as well as Iceland and Estonia. It is a
hugely popular lotto, particularly amongst Finns, who spend almost 100
million Euros every year on it.
Every Wednesday is the big night for players, with the draw taking
place, and entrants from all these countries glued to their television
sets as the live draw is made. With so many entrants from the various
countries, there are some large payouts, even at the lower prize levels.
To win prizes at the easiest level of the Finland Viking Lotto
all you need to do is choose 3 numbers correctly, the chances of which
are approximately 1 in 53, which is more favourable than many other
lotteries. The cost per block is only $2, which is a cheap $10 for a
five-block ticket. The latest winner walked away with over €500,000.
Big winnings on the Finland Viking Lotto are subject to a brief
verification period and after this they are paid out in a cash lump sum
to the lucky winners. |
