Veikkaus Lotto Jackpot € 10,000,000

Veikkaus Lotto Finland Lotto Veikkaus OY

The Slot Machine Association of Finland – known as RAYwas first formed in April 1938 with profits being raised towards Finnish public health.

Another company was formed in July 1940 when Oy Tippaustoimisto AB – or Tipp Lotto – was first established. The first game was called “Constant” and was introduced by the Finland Lottery in September 1940.

These earliest games offered by Oy Tippaustoimisto AB mainly involved bets on sporting events including football and baseball. 

During the 1950s Oy Tippaustoimisto AB changed its name to
Oy Veikkaustoimisto AB and the very first proper Finnish Lotto game was launched on January 3rd 1971 – the Veikkaus Lotto.

The Finland Lottery company's name was changed again in 1975 when the government took over sole ownership of the operation with Oy Veikkaustoimisto AB now becoming Oy Veikkaus AB.

A 3rd Finland gaming company was created in 2001 called Fintoto to oversee the organising of horse race betting & TOTO games.

In 2004 Oy Veikkaus AB experienced another change of name, this time to Veikkaus Oy and in January 2017, all 3 of the main gaming comanies in Finland – RAY, Fintoto and Veikkaus oy were amalgamated and renamed as Veikkaus which we have today.

All Veikkaus games are sanctioned and licensed by the Finnish State Government 100% owners of the company since 1975.

Veikkaus really is a traditional part of society in Finland and has been for many years now with 25% of citizens regularly playing the Veikkaus Lotto & even up to 40% when there is a big jackpot.

More than 1.1 MILLION is produced every day by Veikkaus fi going, via the State, to many good causes throughout the country.

There are many games offered by Veikkaus including Finnish Lotto games such as Keno, the multi-national lottery games of EuroJackpot & Viking Lotto plus Birthday (Synttärit), Shooting Star (Tähdenlento) & All or Nothing (Kaikki tai ei mitään), Joker (Jokeri), Holiday Luck (Lomatonni), Onnenpaketti, Porukkapelit, in addition to various games of Sports Betting, Toto, Casino & Bingo.

The other primary Finnish Lotto game available is the principal jackpot lotto in Finland – the Veikkaus Lotto or Lotto Veikkaus – which we are now about to discover in much greater detail...

Veikkaus Lotto Finland Overview

The Finland LotteryVeikkaus Lotto – was introduced in late December 1970 by Oy Veikkaustoimisto AB with the very first draw taking place on January 3rd 1971. The Lotto FI soon proved to be the most popular game in the history of the Finland Lotto and Finland's gaming & the activities of Veikkaus were thus revolutionized.

The Veikkaus – Finland Lottery 7/40 – is a traditional jackpot, draw-style, lotto game and is the flagship in-house game to be offered by Veikkaus OY, the Finland National Lottery company.

Jackpots for the Finland Lotto start off at 1.2 MILLION and each time that the Finland Lottery jackpot is not won, it will rollover and the extra amount will be added onto the jackpot for the next draw, meaning that there will be an even bigger jackpot figure to be won.

These jackpot rollovers have produced Veikkaus Lotto top prizes of up to 15.6 MILLION, an incredible amount to be playing for.

Draws for the Finland Lotto occur on a Saturday at 10.00pm Finnish time and take place at the MTV studios in Pasilassa. The Veikkaus Lotto results – Veikkaus Tulokset – will be broadcast on the television channel MTV3. The cut-off time for purchasing your Veikkaus Lotto tickets is usually 8.30pm on the day of the drawing.

We are very pleased to have reviewed the Finland Lotto 7/40 and would recommend taking a good look at how it works below…......

Veikkaus Lotto Finland How It Works

The Finland Veikkaus Lotto is a typical jackpot lotto style of game which uses a matrix of 7/40 meaning that when you play you will need to select 7 numbers out of a range of numbers from 1 to 40.

If you match all 7 of the main numbers drawn then you will be a winner of the Veikkaus Lotto jackpot first prize.

As well as the 7 main numbers, 2 extra numbers are drawn – the Lisänumero (Additional number) & the Plusnumero (Plus number).

The Lisänumero (Additional number) is drawn from the main number range & is used to determine the prizes in the 2nd & 6th prize levels, the Plusnumero (Plus number), is drawn from 1 to 30 to determine the amount that your winnings can be multiplied by.

Lotto PLUS is another option you can add when playing the Lotto Veikkaus which will multiply all your winnings except the jackpot. The Plus number as mentioned above will be the multiplier used.

You can also play the Joker in conjunction with the Finnish Lotto. With Joker (Jokeri) you will need to select 7 numbers from 0 to 9. 7 winning Joker digits are drawn to determine the Joker number.

In addition to the Finland Lotto jackpot, there are 5 further ways in which you can win with the Finland Lottery, which means there are a great number of prizes to be won every week for all players.

A “Quick Game” facility is also available when you are playing with the Finland Lottery very much the same as the “Lucky Dip” facility that is used with the UK National Lottery or in Europe’s EuroMillions or the “Quick Pick” on nearly all USA Lottery games. This means that you can reuest your lottery retailer or computer to randomly pick your Finland Lotto numbers for you.

So, playing the Finland Lotto is simple…..just select your own numbers or request them to be automatically generated for you by choosing the “Quick Game” option, making for a quick & easy play.

The price per entry into the Lotto Veikkaus is a low 1.00 per line meaning that many players decide to play with more than one line.

To add the Lotto PLUS option costs an extra 0.50 per play and to play with the Jokeri (Joker) will cost you a further 2.00 per entry.
