Lottery Betting Juggernaut Continues To Grow
Lottoland Reaches 10 Million Customers
When it comes to rapid growth, few companies can rival Lottoland. From zero to ten million customers in just over five years is a remarkable achievement. Is it 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 later it was five million and now we are up to an incredible 10 million.
In other words, if Lottoland was a real country, it would have a population twice as big as Ireland's!

Lotteries are about much more than random numbers. There are so many fascinating stories about the people who take part in lotteries, and I enjoy being able to share those stories on these pages.
