Profits and odds of winning
Some lottery winnings are agreed amounts and some are calculated on a pair-Mutuel basis, in which case they depend on the number of vouchers sold and the number of winners in each profit category. In the five or six correct winning categories or six correct + in bonus number correct payout categories, each winner wins a certain percentage of the total prize pool. The remaining money will be used for the agreed winnings, like the main pot, payment.
Lottery organizer Veikkaus determines the value of the main pot before the draw. If it is not won in that draw, it will move on to the next round for so long, that someone wins it.

A touch of Lotto history
The lottery was launched in Finland in December 1970 and the first official draw was conducted in January 1971. Lottery rules have changed over the years. Originally between six numbers 1-40, we have moved on to the concept of the moment, where seven numbers are drawn in between 1-39. In addition to the actual line, additional numbers will be drawn, the number of which has also varied over the years. With the latest reforms, two additional numbers are currently being drawn. For a long time, with his nearly 50-year career, Lotto has steadily kept its surface as a favorite of Finns, but what can be found behind Lotto?
The first rude fact is that, that Lotto’s recovery rate is depressingly low, that is, just under forty percent. Of course, the annealing of big jackpots gives it a picture, that Lotto is a tremendously great way to make money, but small sub-profits relative to a high line payment mean that in practice, that Lotto rotating, state-owned Veikkaus grabs sixty cents for every euro line payment in his own pocket. Of course, the same breath must be remembered, that Veikkaus' income finances non-profit activities.
