Sayisal Loto 6/49 
The origins of the Turkey Lottery go way back to 1889 when the first Turkish Lottery game was organized. This was followed in 1890 when a Piyango – which meant a lottery using black and white cards – was introduced with a jackpot of TL7100. The Milli Piyango from Turkey also operates in the land-locked former USSR country of Kyrgyzstan. Lottery Turkey and Milli Piyango are proud members of the European Lotteries Association – EL – as well as the very much respected World Lotteries Association – WLA – and hosted the European Lotteries Association 2009 Congress at Istanbul in June 2009. Together these 2 organizations work with many of the greatest world lottery companies making sure that all global lottery games offer the best possible service to the playing public throughout the countries that they serve. Milli Piyango offer various Turkish Lottery games in their portfolio including the popular Super Loto 6/54, the Milli Piyango itself, Sans Topu, On Numara and the Turkey Lottery that we are reviewing here – the Loto Sayisal – Sayisal Loto 6/49...
