What is the ‘Extra Game’?
The ‘Extra Game’ gives you another way to chance to play the Swedish Lotto and win even more money. For $1 extra, 7 randomly selected numbers from 0-9 will be entered into a 2nd draw of numbers also from 0-9.
To win, you need to match your numbers in the correct order from left to right, or right to left, from the first or the last number to those drawn. You don’t need to win Swedish Lotto to win the Extra Game however, you cannot enter the Extra Game without playing the Swedish Lotto and if you do win both then you will be the winner of the Drömvinsten, the ‘Dream Win’, which in the past has reached almost €25 million.
- You pick the Extra Game numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. You didn’t win anything at Lotto.
- The Extra Game Numbers are 5,3,1,1,6,7. You have matched the last 2 numbers: 6 and 7.
- You have won the minimum Extra Game prize and therefore win your stake back even though you didn’t win anything playing Swedish Lotto.
- You pick the Extra Game numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. You won approx. $221 playing Lotto.
- The Extra Game Numbers are 1,1,3,5,4,6,2. Unfortunately you don’t win the Extra Game. Even though you matched several numbers they are not in the correct order.
- But you have won approx. $221 playing Swedish Lotto, which is unaffected.

Is the Payout Guaranteed? How do I Know?
At Lottoland we can guarantee you will be paid out on your winnings - regardless of the jackpot amount.At Lottoland you bet on the outcome of the official draw. For all intents and purposes you will have the exact same customer experience as if you were playing the official lottery. The key difference is that we take your bet and we pay you if you win. We are able to achieve this in two ways.
For smaller prize tier payments we make the payment directly from the fund we have from the total ticket sales.
In order for us to make the larger prize tier payments we take out insurance policies to cover the eventuality of a Jackpot win or a substantial payout on the Lotto ticket. Part of the Lotto ticket price you pay goes towards the payment of this policy.
We are registered with and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, the Gibraltar Gambling Commission, and the Revenue Commissioners in Ireland. In order for us to retain these licences we have to prove that we are able to make the required payouts to our players should they win and that we have the correct procedures in place to guarantee this.
