Sweden Viking Lotto History

Most people are likely to be hooked on lotteries due to the unending hopes of winning the jackpot and be an instant millionaire. Hence there is nothing like the Swedish Viking Lottery which is an online lotto game that can be accessed by anyone worldwide.

Viking Lotto was launched in 1993 in the conglomeration of five Scandinavian countries, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland, where the Swedish Viking Lotto became the most loved Viking lottery worldwide. Huge jackpots were offered since the participation of the Estonia lotto in March 2000 which made this Nordic lotto up to six participating countries. Previously, Viking Lotto can only be played if you were a resident of one of the Scandinavian countries but at present, with the introduction of legitimate lottery ticket agents on the internet, such as “The Lotter,” anyone can play wherever they are in the world. The jackpot prize is similar to all 6 countries, but the secondary prizes were locally decided. In 1995, the Sweden Viking Lottery was launched in Svenskaspel meaning “Swedish Games” where license was awarded by the Sweden Government to operate gaming solely.

As an overview, whether you play Sweden Viking or any other Viking lottery the cost to purchase a ticket is only 4 Norsk, which is a small amount to win an enormous jackpot prize and topped up with other prizes offered by the gaming authorities. Another interesting fact is that the jackpot prize comes in an exact Euro and other Prizes with low amount are also locally launched. One ticket is entitled to a 6 digit entry from numbers 1 to 48 either personally selected or computer generated. Draws are every Wednesday 8:25 pm CET where lotto results are broadcasted on radio and television (TV1 and MTV3 in Sweden) and lottery information and results are also posted on different websites such as www.playitalianlotto.com.
