Lottery Betting Juggernaut Continues To Grow
Lottoland Reaches 5 Million Customers
In just four years Lottoland has gone from a small start-up run by a handful of people to a recognised leader in the field of lottery betting, with hundreds of employees spanning multiple continents. In total more than a quarter of a billion euros in prizes have been paid out to lucky winners throughout the world. 2017 sees yet another milestone for Lottoland, as the company passes the 5 million customer mark.
When it comes to rapid growth, few companies can rival Lottoland. From zero to five million customers in under four years is a remarkable achievement. Any wonder Lottoland has been dubbed "one of Europe's fastest-growing companies."
It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating our millionth customer. The customer in question was Jan, a father of two who lives just outside of Frankfurt. Back in May 2015 he got to experience a taste of the lottery winner lifestyle when we arranged for him to drive a top-of-the-line Porsche 911 for the weekend.
Less than a year later we had three million customers, and now, ten months on, we've hit five million.
In other words, if Lottoland was a real country, it would have a higher population than the Republic of Ireland!
