Denmark Lottery Results

Denmark Lottery Games

Even though Danish lottery operator Danske Spil was established in 1948, its first draw didn’t take place until 1989. Even today, the number of lottery games available in Denmark are limited, although those that do exist are very popular. As well as participating in local games, Danes can participate in transnational games across Scandinavia and the rest of Europe for extra chances to win huge sums of money.

Lotto

Lotto is Denmark’s national lottery game, giving players the chance to win a variety of different prizes.

Included in the ticket price of DKK 5.00 is entry into two raffle draws, both of which offer a guaranteed prize of DKK 1 million. Players can also take advantage of features such as System Entry and Good Luck to enhance their chances of taking home a prize, while Joker is available for an additional DKK 10.00, with a minimum jackpot of DKK 10 million on offer.

EuroJackpot

In addition to being played in Denmark, EuroJackpot is available in a further 17 countries, and although the odds of winning EuroJackpot are huge even by modern lottery standards, there is an increased likelihood of rollovers.

Although EuroJackpot doesn’t have any secondary games, prizes are available at 12 different tiers for plenty of opportunities to win!

Vikinglotto

Vikinglotto is also a transnational lottery game, with players in eight further countries taking part. Despite having longer odds and fewer prize tiers than EuroJackpot, Vikinglotto is hugely popular thanks to its midweek scheduling and the availability of System Entry and a separate Joker game.
