How to Play Viking Lotto, Info, Rules, Guides
Vikinglotto is a multinational lottery played in nine different countries in Europe. The draw is held every Wednesday at 20:00 CET in Hamar, Norway. The jackpot starts at 3 million euros and can reach up to 35 million euros. There are various other prizes for each draw.
To play the game, select six numbers from 1 to 48 and choose a Viking number from 1 to 8. Match the number you choose with the number of the lucky draw to win the prize and give the grand prize to players who match all seven numbers.
VikingLotto was founded in 1993 and was the first of its kind in Europe. It has a collaboration between nine European lotteries, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Slovenia. The draw takes place once a week, on Wednesdays at 20:00 and a line costs only EUR 0.8.
How to Play Vikinglotto
To play Vikinglotto, choose 6 numbers from 1 to 48 and choose a Viking number from 1 to 8. The Viking number is taken from a separate pot, so it can be the same as one of the main numbers in the same lottery. You can play games online or buy tickets from authorized retailers in any participating country.
You can win prizes by matching the number you choose with the number of the lucky draw. To win the jackpot, you must match all seven. The first two awards are shared among each of the nine participating countries, and the remaining award funds are used in each country. Therefore, the bonus structure may differ depending on where you play.

How does the Joker game work?

Six countries have their own version of the Joker draw. It is not possible to play in Lithuania, Estonia and Slovenia. Visit the Joker page for more information about the game.
How do I win the jackpot?
You can win the jackpot by matching all six main numbers and the Viking number. The jackpot and second prize tier are shared among the nine participating countries, but the lower prize tiers are set by each individual country. Visit the Prizes page for more information.
Do I have to pay tax on winnings?
Only Latvia and Slovenia tax lottery winnings, but you should double-check the tax laws in the country where you entered the game. Tax rules and regulations vary depending on where you are playing from in the world. Visit the Tax page for more information.
How do I claim a prize?
The claim process varies by country. In Norway, prizes of less than 10,000 kr are automatically paid into your player card account. Prizes of 10,000 kr or greater are transferred directly to your registered bank account. In Finland, if you have registered for a Veikkaus card, all prizes including the jackpot are automatically paid into your bank account. If you played Vikinglotto without a Veikkaus card, you must visit an authorised retailer, partner bank or the Veikkaus lottery headquarters to receive your prize, depending on how much you won.
Other countries require you to initiate the claim process. In Sweden, if you have not claimed your prize after 60 days, it will be transferred to your registered bank account.
What is Vikinglotto Plus?
For an additional €0.40 stake, players in Finland can opt to play the Plus number, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to five times, adding up to €1 million to the original value of the prize. If you match just the Plus number you win €5.
Vikinglotto Prize and Odds
The odds of winning the Vikinglotto jackpot are 1 of 98,172,096, and the chance of winning the second prize is 1 of 14,024,585. Opportunities to win prizes at other levels may vary depending on whether there are prizes matching the Viking number and which country you are from.
Although the Viking is extracted from a single pool of balls, the chances of matching it will also affect the chances of matching only the main number.
