EuroJackpot € 18,000,000
Sazka cz– Sazka Sportka
In 1918 after the Czechoslovakia was first formed, the state took control of all existing lotto operations – the Lotynka plus the Austrian Class Lottery.
Lotynka was discontinued in February 1919 and the Directorate of State Lotteries formed the Czechoslovak Class Lottery with the first drawing of this new game then taking place in July 1919.
From February 1948 until June 1953 two Czech Lotto games were in operation – the Czechoslovak Class Lottery and the Czechoslovak State Charity Lottery both beomg operated by Spořitelnou until they were unltimately banned by the state.
It was decided that prizes in the form of cash were not allowed when the Soviet-led Eastern Bloc ruled Czechoslovakia, it was only in-kind lotteries that were allowed to take place at this time.
However, the recently formed Czechoslovak Association of Physical Education was in need of funding and so on August 3rd 1956 the State Committee for Physical Education & Sport instigated the formation of the Czechoslovakia State Lottery – Sazka – which began operations on September 15th 1956.
The first game to be offered was Sazka which involved the betting on the results of sporting matches. This proved to be a great success and so in March 1957 the Czech government approved the formation of a new lottery – Sportka – which was run by Sazka.
Sportka was first launched on April 22nd 1957 after it was seen how popular and successful the German Lottery 6 aus 49 was being and Sazka continued to operate Czech Lottery games across the whole of Czechoslovakia up until January 1st 1993 when it was divided into 2 countries – the Czech Republic & Slovakia. At this point, Sazka continued to operate Czech Republic lottery games & Slovakia formed its own lottery company – TIPOS.
In 1973 Czech TV starrted televising the Sunday Sportka draw.
In 1977 the 7th (additional) number was introduced to Sportka and from February 1991 the jackpot cap was removed meaning there was now no limit to how high the Sportka jackpot could climb!
In April 1995 Sazka began a second draw of the Sportka Lottery each week on a Wednesday which meant that there would now be 2 Sportka draws every week. At the same time they introduced the additional game – Chance in a Million – Šance Milión – giving players of the Sportka an extra opportunity to win something.
1996 saw the drawings of Sportka move to the headquarters of Sazka in Žižkov, Prague from the Czech Television studios and in 2010 the Superjackpot was an addition to the Sportka Sazka.
So, currently the games to be offered by SAZKA CZ to its lottery players in the Czech Republic are: EUROJACKPOT, SPORTKA, EUROMILIONY, Šťastných 10 (HAPPY 10), Kasička (MONEY BOX) and KENO as well as many other online instant lotteries.
