Switzerland Lottery Results

Switzerland Lottery Games

Two separate operators provide lottery games in Switzerland. Loterie Romandie runs games in the French-speaking western region of the country, while Swisslos does the same across the rest of Switzerland.

Between the two operators, players living in Switzerland have multiple chances to win significant sums of money from locally run games, as well as from the popular transnational game, Euromillions.

Euromillions

Euromillions is a lucrative transnational lottery played in Switzerland and in eight other countries. It costs CHF 3.50 to enter.

Players must choose five numbers between 1 and 50, plus two Lucky Star numbers between 1 and 12. Quick Picks are available for players who prefer to enter with random selections.

Both Swiss lottery operators provide a System Entry option. Participants can choose up to 10 main numbers and up to 12 Lucky Stars, which are entered into the draw in every possible combination. This greatly increases the chances of winning but also results in a hugely expensive ticket!

For an additional CHF 2.00, players can add SUPER STAR to their ticket. This is a secondary draw, with prizes of up to CHF 250,000 available.

Swiss Lotto

Swiss Lotto is Switzerland's main national lottery game, which is also available to players in neighboring Liechtenstein. Entry costs CHF 2.50.

Participants choose six main numbers from 1 to 42 and a Lucky Number from 1 to 6. Quick Picks are available for players who wish to enter with random selections.

System Entry is also available, allowing players to choose up to 10 main numbers and all six Lucky Numbers, for a greater chance of winning.

Participants can also add The Joker up to three times per ticket for CHF 2.00 per play.

All Swiss Lotto tickets are automatically entered into the Replay game at no extra cost, for the chance to win a free Quick Pick entry for the next draw.

Loto Express

Loto Express is a Keno-style game with multiple entry and stake-based options, including the opportunity to enhance the base prize by adding a prize multiplier.

Players must decide on how many numbers to match from 3 to 10, before choosing the relevant number of selections between 1 and 80. Quick Picks are available for players who wish to enter with random selections. Each game has a base stake of CHF 2.00, but players can increase this in multiples of two, up to a maximum of CHF 10, achieved by playing the same selections up to five times, to act as a prize multiplier.

Participants can add BOOST to their ticket for an extra CHF 2.00, to increases prizes by up to 10 times. Players can add EXTRA to their ticket for another CHF 2.00, to unlock additional prizes and prize tiers.

Participants who choose between five and eight selections are automatically eligible for BANGO (different to Banco, see below), which has an additional prize pool.

Banco

Banco is another Keno-style game. It is similar in format to Loto Express, but with no potential add-ons, although players can choose stakes in multiples of two from CHF 2.00 to CHF 10.

Participants must decide on how many numbers to match from 2 to 10, before choosing the relevant number of selections between 1 and 70.

Magic 4

Magic 4 is a Pick 4 game that costs CHF 3.00 to enter.

Players must choose four numbers from 0 to 9, and because each number is chosen independently, the same number can be chosen repeatedly if desired. Participants then choose whether to bet on matching their numbers in the order drawn or in any order.

Alternatively, players can bet on matching only the first number drawn.

Magic 3

Magic 3 is a Pick 3 game that costs CHF 3.00 to enter.

As with Magic 4, players must choose three numbers from 0 to 9, and because each number is chosen independently, the same number can be chosen repeatedly if desired. Participants then choose whether to bet on matching their numbers in the order drawn or in any order.

Alternatively, players can bet on matching the middle number of the three drawn.
