Swedish Lottery – Svenska Spel
The origins of the Swedish Lottery date back to 1897 when a group of private citizens put forward the idea of forming a Swedish Lotto to assist with the funding of the Stockholm Fair. The government of Sweden thus approved this proposal and so Lotteriexpeditione – the Lottery Expedition was then duly formed.
In 1934 the company AB Tipstjänst was formed by the Swedish government to combat the spread of illegal gambling that was happening across Sweden with the aim of making gambling safer.
In 1939 the government of Sweden took over the ownership of
Lotteriexpeditione and the company was renamed Penninglotten – the Money Lottery – and all funds raised would be going towards helping with cultural issues throughout the country of Sweden.
The first Scratchcard games were introduced by the Swedish Lottery in 1979 and the primary in-house Swedish Lotto was launched in 1980 – the Svenska Spel Lotto or Sweden Lotto.
The Joker additional add-on game to the Sweden lotto was launched in 1984 giving players the chance to win more money.
Oddset and Trisslott were then introduced in 1986 boosting the ever increassing range of games offered by the Swedish Lottery.
1990 saw the daily lottery game Keno launched and the Sweden Lotto started to be broadcast on the television channel TV2.
Following discussions in 1992 between AB Tipstjänst, Norsk Tipping, Veikkaus, Danske Spil and Islensk Getspa, the world's first multi-national lottery game – the Viking Lotto – was then launched in March 1993 with Sweden, Norway Denmark, Finland and Iceland as the 5 original member countries being involved.
The two separate Lottery Sweden companies – AB Tipstjänst and Lotteriexpeditione were merged together in 1997 and the new organisation was called Svenska Spel, the Swedish Lottery company we know today. It's headquarters are in Visby, Gotland.
The official website of Lotto Sweden – svanskaspel se – was launched in 1999. Swedish citizens could now play lottery online.
