Norway Lottery Results

Norway Lottery Games

Although Norwegian lottery operator Norsk Tipping was established in 1948, Lotto, its first draw game, didn’t launch until 1986. Today, Norsk Tipping operates a variety of national and transnational lottery games, as well as offering other forms of gambling such as sports betting and online casino games.

Initially a joint venture between the Norwegian government, the Norwegian Sports Foundation and the Norwegian Football Association, Norsk Tipping has been 100% state owned and operated since 1993.

Lotto

Lotto is Norway’s national lottery game, and although there is only one Lotto draw a week, its format, entry options and additional games gives players the chance to win several prizes.

With a ticket price of NOK 10.00 for two lines and odds of just 1 in 11 of winning a prize, Lotto is an attractive and great value game. In addition to standard entry in which players must choose seven numbers from a possible 34, participants can go for:

• Quick Pick, for numbers selected at random.
• System Entry, choosing up to 12 numbers to increase their chances of winning.
• Andelsbank, to buy a 10% stake in 1,000 tickets for NOK 500 and share all winnings with fellow participants.

Joker entry is available for NOK 20.00. Also, Super Lotto draws are held four times a year, with each Lotto ticket granting free entry into a NOK 1 million raffle.

EuroJackpot

In addition to being played in Norway, EuroJackpot is available in a further 17 countries, and while the odds of winning are far greater than for Lotto, the starting jackpot is much bigger and many more prizes are available, although no secondary games are available.

Vikinglotto

Vikinglotto is a popular transnational lottery game played in eight further countries as well as Norway. Even though Vikinglotto has longer odds and fewer prize tiers than EuroJackpot, it is still far more lucrative than Lotto, as well as giving Norwegians the chance to take part in a midweek lottery game.

In addition to standard entry options, participants can enter Vikinglotto using a System Entry feature to enhance their chances of winning, with a lucrative Joker game also being available.
