“Lucky Norwegian wins NOK 197 million in Viking Lotto”

A lucky Norwegian got another nice one on 17 May when he won NOK 197,710,135 in Viking Lotto.

Norsk Tipping writes on its website on Wednesday evening that they will call the winner at 9.30pm.

– We haven’t found the winner yet, even though we have called several times, says Gro Synstad to Nettavisen at 9.50pm.

One of the greatest ever

They further state that the new multi-millionaire enters seventh place on the list of the biggest prizes won by Norwegians in the Viking Lottery.

The biggest prize so far was awarded in 2017, when a lucky Oslo woman became a whopping NOK 341,285,000 richer.

To get the first prize in Vikinglotto, you must have 6 correct winning numbers, plus a correct Viking number. The lucky Norwegian was therefore the only one who had the right combination on Wednesday evening, and thus walked away with the entire prize alone.
