If you are looking for Viking Lotto results, this page explains everything you need to know about how the draws work, when they take place, how to read the winning numbers, and where to check the latest official results in your country.
Rather than showing static numbers that quickly become outdated, we link directly to the official lottery operators in all ten participating countries — they publish results within minutes of every draw.
When are Viking Lotto results announced?
Viking Lotto results are published every Wednesday evening after the live draw, which takes place in Hamar, Norway. The exact time differs slightly per country because of time zones and operator broadcast schedules:

Wednesday draws are held even when the day falls on a public holiday — the schedule does not skip weeks.
What does a Viking Lotto result look like?
Every Wednesday draw produces a winning combination of six main numbers plus one Viking Number (sometimes called the “Super Viking” or bonus number).
- Main numbers: 6 numbers drawn from a pool of 1 to 48
- Viking Number: 1 number drawn from a separate pool of 1 to 8
The Viking Number is what makes Viking Lotto distinctive. It increases the jackpot value when matched in combination with the six main numbers and creates additional prize tiers for partial matches. Without the Viking Number, the structure would be a standard 6/48 lottery.
How are Viking Lotto prizes calculated?
Viking Lotto uses a tiered prize system. The more numbers you match, the higher the tier. Each tier has its own share of the prize pool, and the actual euro amount per tier varies from week to week depending on ticket sales and how many winners there are at each level.
Typical Viking Lotto prize tiers:
- Jackpot: 6 main numbers + Viking Number — pool starts at €3 million and rolls over up to a cap of €25 million
- Second tier: 6 main numbers (without Viking Number)
- Third tier: 5 main numbers + Viking Number
- Fourth tier: 5 main numbers
- Lower tiers: 4 or 3 main numbers, with or without the Viking Number
The exact number of tiers and their share of the prize pool can differ slightly per operator. Smaller prizes (matching only a few numbers) usually pay a fixed amount, while top-tier prizes are calculated as a percentage of total ticket sales.
Where to check official Viking Lotto results
For the most accurate and up-to-date results, always check the official lottery operator in your country. Each operator publishes the winning numbers and prize breakdown on their own website within minutes of the draw:
- 🇳🇴 Norway — see our Norway page for Norsk Tipping
- 🇸🇪 Sweden — see our Sweden page for Svenska Spel
- 🇫🇮 Finland — see our Finland page for Veikkaus
- 🇩🇰 Denmark — see our Denmark page for Danske Spil
- 🇮🇸 Iceland — see our Iceland page for Íslensk Getspá
- 🇧🇪 Belgium — see our Belgium page for Nationale Loterij
- 🇪🇪 Estonia — see our Estonia page for Eesti Loto
- 🇱🇻 Latvia — see our Latvia page for Latvijas Loto
- 🇱🇹 Lithuania — see our Lithuania page for Olifėja
- 🇸🇮 Slovenia — see our Slovenia page for Loterija Slovenije
Why don’t we publish weekly results ourselves? Because the official operators are always faster, more accurate, and legally required to publish verified numbers. Sending you straight to the source is more reliable than a third-party copy that might lag behind by hours.
How long are Viking Lotto results valid?
Winning tickets expire if they are not claimed within a specific time window after the draw. The exact deadline depends on the country where the ticket was bought:
- Most Nordic countries: 3 months to 1 year from the draw date
- Belgium and Slovenia: typically 20 weeks
- Baltic countries: between 30 and 60 days for smaller prizes, longer for jackpots
If you have a winning ticket, contact your national operator as soon as possible. Unclaimed prizes are usually returned to the prize pool or donated to good causes — depending on the operator’s policy.
What happens if nobody wins the jackpot?
When no ticket matches all six main numbers plus the Viking Number, the jackpot rolls over to the next week’s draw. This continues until either someone wins or the jackpot reaches the cap of €25 million.
When the cap is reached and still no winner, what happens next depends on the rules at that time:
- The jackpot may stay capped at €25 million for one or two more draws
- If still nobody wins, the prize amount “rolls down” to the next prize tier
- This means second-tier winners can receive an unusually large amount
Roll-down weeks are popular among regular players because the second-tier prize can become tens or hundreds of times bigger than usual.
How to verify a Viking Lotto result is genuine
Lottery scams sometimes use fake “winning notifications” to trick people into sharing personal details or paying fake fees. To verify whether a Viking Lotto result is real:
- Always cross-check the winning numbers on the website of the official operator in your country
- Never share bank details or pay any “processing fees” to claim a prize — legitimate Viking Lotto winners never have to pay upfront
- Genuine prize notifications come directly from the operator where you bought your ticket — not by random email or social media
- If in doubt, visit a physical retail location or contact your operator’s customer service
Frequently asked questions about Viking Lotto results
What time does the Viking Lotto draw take place?
The live draw is held every Wednesday at around 21:00 Central European Time in Hamar, Norway. Results are published by national operators shortly after.
Can I watch the Viking Lotto draw live?
Norsk Tipping broadcasts the official draw, and several other national operators stream their own announcements online. Check your country’s operator website for the live link.
Are Viking Lotto results the same in every country?
Yes — all ten countries play the same numbers from the same draw. The winning combination is identical everywhere. What differs is the prize amount per tier, because each country pays out in its own currency and according to local ticket sales.
How long does it take to receive a Viking Lotto prize?
Smaller prizes are usually paid out within a few business days, often directly into the bank account linked to your online lottery account. Larger prizes (especially the jackpot) require an in-person verification process, which can take several weeks.
Are Viking Lotto winnings taxable?
This depends entirely on the country where you bought the ticket. In most Nordic countries, lottery prizes are tax-free for the winner. In some Baltic countries, taxes may apply above certain thresholds. Always consult the rules at your national operator or a local tax adviser.
Where can I find historical Viking Lotto results?
National operators maintain searchable archives of past draws on their websites. Most archives go back several years and let you search by date, number, or jackpot amount.
