Iceland lotto

Profits and odds of winning

Some lottery winnings are agreed amounts and some are calculated on a pair-Mutuel basis, in which case they depend on the number of vouchers sold and the number of winners in each profit category. In the five or six correct winning categories or six correct + in bonus number correct payout categories, each winner wins a certain percentage of the total prize pool. The remaining money will be used for the agreed winnings, like the main pot, payment.

Lottery organizer Veikkaus determines the value of the main pot before the draw. If it is not won in that draw, it will move on to the next round for so long, that someone wins it.

The additional game is called Joker and can be played alongside the Finnish lottery game. The game is played by choosing between seven numbers 0-9. You can dial the same number more than once. On the night of the draw, the seven-digit Joker number will be drawn randomly, and you win, if you have the same numbers in the same order.

For example, if Wildcard is 1291268, then by number 1234567 win, because it has three identical numbers in the same order: 12***6*. The more numbers you have right, the more you win.

Playing the joker pays off 2 €, and if you want a Double Joker, it costs 1 €:n more. The double player game is played in the same way, except when the last number of the Joker is correct, all your winnings will double.

Joker wins are fixed amounts. Lottery organizer Veikkaus determines the value of the main pot before the draw, and although it usually is 1 million euros (2 million with Double Joker), it can vary from lottery to lot.

Below you can see the winnings available in the Finnish joker and the winning probabilities for each winning category.
