Veikkaukselliset

Veikkaukselliset are a type of Finnish lottery game that has been popular since the 1950s. The term "veikkaus" translates to "guessing" or "speculation," reflecting the core concept of the games. These lotteries are organized by the Finnish Lottery, a state-owned company, and offer a variety of games with different rules and prize structures.

The most well-known veikkaukselliset game is "Veikkaus," which is a weekly football pool where participants predict the outcomes of Finnish league matches. Other popular games include "Joker," a daily game where players choose numbers, and "Lotto," a weekly game where players select six numbers from a set of 39. Veikkaukselliset games are known for their simplicity and accessibility, with tickets available at newsstands, convenience stores, and online.

Prizes in veikkaukselliset games are typically paid out in cash, with the amount varying based on the game and the number of correct predictions or numbers chosen. The Finnish Lottery has strict regulations to ensure fair play and transparency, including regular audits and the use of secure, random number generators.

They are seen as a form of entertainment and a way to support local sports teams and charities. The games also contribute to the Finnish economy, with proceeds used to fund various public services and initiatives.
