Finnish Lotto
About This Lottery
Finnish Lotto has been Finland's go-to lottery since 1971 — run by the state-owned Veikkaus company, it's a trusted institution in Finnish life. The game uses 7 numbers from a pool of 40, which is a bit unusual compared to most lotteries.
Because the number pool is smaller (only 40 numbers), your chances of matching numbers are better than in bigger lotteries. The record jackpot has gone over €15 million, and prizes are won every week.
There's just one draw per week, every Saturday, so it's a weekly event to look forward to.
How to Play
Finnish Lotto asks you to pick 7 numbers from 1 to 40. A bonus number is also drawn, which can help you win second prize even if you miss one of the seven main numbers.
To win the jackpot, all 7 of your numbers need to match the draw. Miss one but get the bonus number? You're in the second prize tier. There are prize levels all the way down to matching 4 numbers.
It's a once-a-week game — every Saturday — so plan your entry around the weekly draw.
Buy Tickets with Crypto
Playing Finnish Lotto with crypto is fully supported here. Load up your account with Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other supported coins and you're ready to enter the Saturday draw.
No Finnish bank account needed, no local payment methods required. Your crypto wallet is all you need to access Finland's national lottery from anywhere.
Winnings go back into your account and you can withdraw them as crypto. Simple and convenient.
Prizes & Odds
Finnish Lotto pays out across six prize levels. The jackpot needs all 7 numbers, but you can win prizes with as few as 4 correct numbers. The odds are better than you might expect for a jackpot-grade lottery.
The jackpot rolls over every week it isn't won, so by the time someone wins it can be a very large sum. The all-time record is over €15 million.
Your overall chances of winning any prize are about 1 in 19 — pretty reasonable for a national lottery.
When Are the Draws?
Finnish Lotto draws once a week, every Saturday evening at around 9 PM Finnish time. There's no weekday draw — just the one Saturday event to look forward to each week.
Ticket sales usually close about two hours before draw time, so aim to get your entry in by early Saturday evening. Don't leave it too late.
Results come out straight after the draw on Saturday night. A great way to end the weekend.
