**Lotto** er et sjansespill som i Norge arrangeres av Norsk Tipping hver lørdag. Spillet ble lansert i Norge 19. april 1986 etter å ha vært det mest populære spillet i de fleste land i Europa gjennom mange år. Fra 1987 har Lotto-trekningen vært fast på NRK.

Spillet er et lotteri der deltagerne skal velge ut syv tall som de antar vil bli trukket ut som vinnertall av totalt 34 tall. I tillegg til de syv vinnertallene trekkes ett tilleggstall. Den første superlottotrekningen[*klargjør*] gikk på lufta 7. april 2012.

Da Lotto ble startet var rekkeprisen én krone. Den ble hevet til to kroner i 1990 og tre kroner i 1997, fire kroner i 2006 og fem kroner i 2015. I 2006 ble den første trekningen i «Millionsjansen» gjennomført. 17. februar 2007 innførte man også «Røver’n» i «Millionsjansen». Lotto har premierekorden i Norge – i uke 14 i 2001 vant et spillelag fra Stange i Hedmark 20 millioner kroner, da de var alene om å ha syv rette. I uke 19 i 2003 ble rekorden tangert, og denne gang var det en mann fra Enebakk som var alene om å vinne 20 millioner kroner. Sommeren 2006 ble denne rekorden igjen overgått med en premieutbetaling på 25 millioner kroner til en mann fra Mo i Rana.

Den teoretiske sjansen for å vinne er ca. 2 % (109 936:5 379 616), mens vinnersannsynligheten for førstepremien er 1:5 379 616. Hvis ingen har syv rette, overføres førstepremiepotten til neste ukes førstepremiepott; dette kalles «Gull-Lotto».

I Norge er LOTTO registrert som et varemerke. Siden 2004 har det også vært lotterier, pengespillvirksomhet og spilltjenester tilbudt på nett.

Vinnersannsynligheter
---------------------

Lotto i Norge har følgende sannsynligheter for gevinst per rekke:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Premiegruppe** | **Sannsynlighet** | **Tilnærmet** |
| 7 rette | 1:5 379 616 | 0,0000186 % |
| 6 rette + 1 tilleggstall | 7:5 379 616 | 0,000130 % |
| 6 rette | 182:5 379 616 | 0,00338 % |
| 5 rette | 7371:5 379 616 | 0,137 % |
| 4 rette | 102 375:5 379 616 | 1,903 % |

Sannsynligheten for ikke å få gevinst er ca. 97,956 % (5 269 680/5 379 616). Det vil si at ca. hver 50. rekke gir gevinst.

Populære rekker
---------------

Ved trekningen 1. oktober 2011 var det hele 21. rekker som gikk inn på lottokupongen med tallene 8 – 13 – 14 – 15 – 20 – 26 – 32. Tallene gir da formen som et latinsk kors, og den opprinnelige potten på 16,2 millioner ble fordelt på 21 med en premieutbetaling på 772.895 kroner for 7 rette. Norsk Tipping publiserte da også de 10 vanligste rekkene som blir sendt inn og den teoretiske utbetalingen den ville gitt ved 7 rette.
