Sweden Lottery - Sweden Lotto 
Sweden Lottery games go back as far as 1896 when Lotteriexpeditionen was formed. The very first Sweden lottery game was introduced in 1897 and the company’s name was eventually changed to Penninglotteriet. Moving forward to 1934, a new Sweden Lottery company called Ltd. Tipstjanst was created which became primarily owned by the Swedish State in 1943. The Sweden Lottery is one of the most popular lottery games in Europe and is today, run by Svenska Spel, the largest gaming operator in Sweden, who – under license from the Swedish government who own it completely – control over half the market in the country. There are numerous games offered by Svenskaspel including “Sports Games” such as Langen, Bomben, Stryktipset football pools and Topptipset – “Instant Win Games” such as Triss – Slot machines, Poker, Casino Gaming with casino Cosmopol and Bingo Live – and “Number Games”, which make up their largest product group, including Bingo, Keno and the flagship game that we will be looking at here – the Sweden Lotto…
Sweden Lotto – Overview 
The Sweden Lotto 7/35 is a traditional jackpot, draw-style, lotto game and is the flagship game offered by Svenska Spel, the national lottery and gaming company in Sweden. It was back in 1980 that the Sweden Lotto was first launched by Tipstjanst and is still going very strong today in Sweden being operated by Svenskaspel. Svenska Spel draw the Sweden Lotto twice every week on Wednesdays and Saturdays and these draws are called Lotto 1 and Lotto 2. You can enhance your winnings when entering this game by playing the Sweden Lotto with “Joker” too. If you win the Lotto with “Joker”, the amount you win will be dramatically increased. This is called the “Dromvisten” or “Dream Profit”. The prize for the “Dromvisten” or “Dream Profit” starts off at SEK 75 Million and grows each week until it is won. There is no limit to how high the “Dromvisten” can “rollover”. When it is eventually won, it restarts at SEK 75 Million. To win the Sweden Lottery “Dromvisten” by playing with “Joker”, you will need to correctly match the 7 main numbers drawn plus 2 correctly on “Joker”. Sweden Lottery draws take place twice each week on Wednesdays at 5.15pm and Saturdays at 5.45pm CET. We are pleased that we have taken a close look at the Sweden Lottery 7/35 game and would highly recommend taking a more detailed look at how it works below…
How It Works… 
The Sweden Lottery from Svenska Spel uses what’s called a 7/35 matrix which means that when playing the Sweden Lotto, you will need to select 7 numbers out of a pool of numbers from 1 to 35. This is one of the lowest groups of numbers from which to choose in most national lottery games. If you match all 7 of the main numbers drawn then you will be the winner of a first division prize – the Sweden Lotto jackpot. Apart from the 7 main numbers, an Additional Number is also used for 2nd division prizes. In addition to the jackpot itself, there are 4 other ways in which you can win on the Sweden Lottery, which means that are a great number of prizes to be won twice per week for anyone who plays this great game from Svenskaspel. A “QuickPick” facility is available when playing the Sweden Lottery called “HuxFlux”. This is very much the same as the “Lucky Dip” option that is used in the UK National Lottery or Europe’s EuroMillions or nearly all USA lottery games – which means that you can ask the lottery retailer or computer to randomly select all your Svenska Spel Lotto numbers for you. So, playing the Sweden Lottery is simple…just select your own numbers or ask for them to be randomly selected for you by choosing the “HuxFlux” option. The cost of each entry into the Sweden Lotto is SEK 3 per play so if you played on both Wednesday and Saturday – Lotto 1 and Lotto 2 – that would cost you SEK 6.
Who Can Play? 
Like most worldwide lottery games, in the past only people living in Sweden itself were allowed to play in any of the Sweden Lottery games from Svenska Spel including the Sweden Lotto – you used to have to purchase your Sweden Lottery tickets from an authorized retailer based in Sweden itself. Today, though, this is not a concern as there are a good number of online lottery ticket sales companies like TheLotter who are both authorized and genuine – you are able to select your Sweden Lotto numbers online and purchase your tickets no matter where in the world you live. This is great news of course if you live outside of Sweden and want to play the Sweden Lotto and ensure your entry into the next draw or simply want to have the convenience and ease of being able to buy lottery tickets online. Once you have entered into the Sweden Lotto draw, you can then easily check the results from Svenska Spel online to see how you have done and to find out if you have become one of the lucky Lotto winners. You will need to be 18 years of age to be eligible to purchase a ticket for any of the Svenskaspel Lottery games including the Sweden Lotto. Click here to Play the Sweden Lotto Now

Most Frequently Drawn Numbers…
When making your selections for playing any lottery game, it is sometimes useful to know which numbers have been most frequently drawn in the game – and those least frequently drawn too, of course. In the Sweden Lotto – at the time of writing – these are the figures relating to the last six months drawings…
Record Jackpots & Payouts... 
Whether you are just playing a few Kronor on Poker at Svenska Spel or are trying for the biggest prize of the year – SEK 101,798,290 – for the Sweden Lotto Dream Prize with the Joker, it is always great fun taking part when you play lottery online. 2005 produced the record jackpot for the Sweden Lotto to date, when a man won a whopping US$ 20 Million. Being a great soccer fan, he offered his local football team the money if they would purchase the contract of the most famous Swedish player at the time, to play for his local club.
Where The Money Goes… 
All proceeds from Svenska Spel and the Sweden Lottery go to the state Treasury and to various good causes that benefit the people of Sweden, whether you buy lottery tickets online through TheLotter or buy lottery tickets on the streets in Sweden. Apart from the Treasury itself, major beneficiaries in recent years have been the Swedish Sports Confederation and the Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs. With the area of sport being close to the heart of the Svenskaspel vision, money here is used to contribute towards the funding of sports related activities for young people and children in Sweden. Svenska Spel is, in fact, the biggest sponsor of sporting related activities throughout Sweden and is proud to be making a continued and valuable contribution in this arena.
