VikingLotto
VikingLotto is a transnational lottery game played in Finland and several other countries. Each Wednesday at 19:00 Finnish time, six main numbers (from 1 to 48) and one Viking number (from 1 to 5) are drawn. In addition, a Plus number (1 to 30) is drawn in Finland. Matching all six main numbers along with the Viking number wins the jackpot. Other prize categories exist for matching fewer numbers, detailed in the table below.
Prize Categories
| Match | Prize Level | Typical Winnings |
|---|---|---|
| 6 + 1 (Jackpot) | Jackpot | Varies, millions of euros |
| 6 + 0 | Second Tier | ~200,000 € |
| 5 + 1 | Third Tier | ~15,000 € |
| 5 + 0 | Fourth Tier | ~1,000 € |
VikingLotto Plus is an optional add-on that costs an extra 0.50 € per line and can multiply non-jackpot prizes by five if you match the Plus number. If you don't match any main numbers, a correct Plus number alone gives you 5 €.

Strategies
Just like Lotto, if you do play Vikinglotto we recommend you always play Vikinglotto plus. It will significantly increase the expected value of your return. That being said, if we compare Vikinglotto to Lotto and Eurojackpot, we find that Lotto (plus) is still a better choice - with lower jackpot and similar expected returns, you will statistically make more money (or lose less) playing Lotto plus than either Vikinglotto plus or Eurojackpot.
