Vikinglotto countries

In 2026, current international lottery references commonly list 10 participating countries: Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Slovenia and Sweden. This wide geographic spread is a big part of the brand identity of Vikinglotto and helps create shared international jackpots.

Jackpot, prizes and odds

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 61,357,560, based on the current 6/48 plus 1/5 format. The overall odds of winning any prize are roughly 1 in 51. The top two prize tiers are shared internationally on a pari-mutuel basis; lower tiers are set nationally, so the number of prize divisions ranges from about 8 to 11 depending on the operator.

The top prize is won by matching 6 numbers plus the Viking number. Widely published international odds place the jackpot chance at around 1 in 61,357,560 for the standard 6 + 1 format. Lower-tier prizes vary by country, which is why total chances of winning any prize are not exactly the same everywhere.

• The top two prize tiers are usually shared internationally.
• Lower prize levels are often handled nationally.
• Belgium is known for offering more lower-tier ways to win than some other countries.
• Prize claim rules depend on where the ticket was purchased.
