Swiss Lotto — Complete Guide

How to play Swiss Lotto, the odds, the prize tiers and how to check your numbers.

About Swiss Lotto

Swiss Lotto is one of Switzerland's best-known lotteries, followed by players around the world for its large jackpots and regular draws. To take part you choose 6 main numbers from 1 to 42, plus 1 bonus ball from a separate pool. Match all of them and you win the jackpot, which currently stands at an estimated CHF11.2 Million.

Lower prize tiers are awarded for matching fewer numbers, so there are several ways to win in every draw. The odds of landing the top prize are around 1 in 31,474,716, and the full prize breakdown for each draw is shown on this page. On this page you can look up the latest Swiss Lotto winning numbers, browse the complete draw history, and use our free checker to see what any line of numbers would have won.

Do "hot" and "cold" numbers help?

Our statistics pages show which Swiss Lotto numbers have appeared most and least often. They're a fun way to explore the draw history — but every combination has exactly the same chance in a fair draw, so past frequency does not change the odds of any future result. Use them for interest, not as a system.
