On Saturday night, it was ready for this year’s first Gold Draw in Lotto – the 1st prize this evening was therefore twice as big as on a regular Lotto draw. Two new millionaires won exactly 15,181,140 kroner each.
In last week’s Lotto draw, no one had all the seven correct numbers and thus there were no 1st prize winners. The prize pool was therefore transferred to tonight’s draw where 30 million waited in the 1st prize in this year’s very first Gold Draw.

Two recent Lotto millionaires Saturday night
Tonight’s Gold Draw ended with a full pot and seven correct numbers for two lucky women who thus shared the 1st prize pot of 30 million.
Woman in her 40s from Troms and Finnmark: – We are in shock and do not know if this is true.
A woman in her 40s from Troms and Finnmark was one of the two lucky ones who guessed all the seven correct numbers in tonight’s Gold Draw. The woman delivered the winning coupon 24 minutes before the game was stopped, which turned out to be luck.
– I am in shock. I know why you call, was the tearful millionaire’s first comment when Norsk Tipping called on Saturday night.
The woman had seen the Gold Draw on TV and had an idea of who was calling and why.
– I did not know the number and had not stored it either, but I understood that it had to be from Norsk Tipping you called, she says.
The new millionaire is accompanied by his mother and cohabitant, but they all struggle to believe that this can be true.
– Everyone is in shock. We do not know if we should believe it, she says. At the same time, she is unsure whether she should tell the cohabitant or not and asks if we can tell him.
– Oi .. I do not know if this is true, the cohabitant says uncertainly on the phone.
After recovering a little from the big shock, the woman tells what she intends to spend the money on.
– We are refurbishing and arranging the house. So now I have money to spend on it, she says happily.
At the same time, there are other things she wants to spend some money on.
– I’m wondering if I should surprise Dad. Maybe buy something for him that he has wanted for a long time, she says.
The happy winner wants to remain anonymous.
The coupon was purchased from a commission agent.
Woman in her 50s from Asker – Has not taken the phone from Norsk Tipping
The other to guess all the seven correct numbers in tonight’s Gold Draw was a woman in her 50s from Asker. Norsk Tipping has tried to get in touch with the woman on Saturday night, without success.
The winning numbers
These are the numbers that were drawn on Saturday 21 May:
5 – 10 – 17 – 20 – 22 – 29 – 31
Additional figures: 13
The previous Gold draw was last year’s last Lotto draw on 25 December. Then four people won over 9 million each in the Lotto draw with a double first prize pot.
The next Lotto draw is on Saturday 28 May. Then it will be approx. NOK 14 million in the first prize pool.
The Joker appeared on the last number
It was an unusual Saturday for a lady from Eidsvoll. She was selected as tonight’s Joker candidate, got the joker on the very last number, and won over 2.7 million kroner.
– Help! No, now the tears are already coming here, says the happy Eidsvoll lady. She was so surprised that she wanted to let the machine make the logical upside-down choices for her.
Winning Chance Lotto
To win the first prize in Lotto, the player must have 7 correct winning numbers out of 34 possible. This means that if you play one row, the theoretical probability of getting 7 straight is 1: 5.37 million per row (rounded up to 1: 5.4 million per row). In other words, there are 5.4 million possible combinations of 7 numbers when you subtract 7 from the 34 numbers. Statistically, you win a prize with 4 straight or better on average on every fifth coupon in five rows.
