Lottoland Launches the World's First Bitcoin Lotto Jackpot

FOR JUST $5 CANADIANS CAN PLAY FOR A CHANCE TO WIN 1,000 BITCOINS

GIBRALTAR, Dec. 18 2017 /CNW/ - Lottoland, the global leader in online lotto-jackpots, is launching the world's first officially licensed Bitcoin lotto jackpot. The jackpot is seeded at 1,000 Bitcoins (approximately $20 million+ CAN). Today's draw will take place on at 8.30pm (GMT).

Bitcoin Lotto offers players from Canada - and several other countries around the globe - the chance to join the Bitcoin boom. Canadians can play Bitcoin Lotto online at www.lottoland.com/ca starting December 18, 2017.  Daily draws will take place Monday through Saturday each week.

Bitcoin Lotto is based on the most popular lottery format in the world – 6/49 (choosing 6 numbers out of 49 balls).  The odds of winning the Bitcoin Lotto jackpot is 14 million to 1, which is ten times more likely than winning a leading global lottery like EuroMillions.

Bitcoin Lotto is backed by Lottoland's insurance model, which guarantees all pay-outs and gives players access to the largest lottery jackpots in the world. To-date, Lottoland players have already won over $1.25 billion on the website.

"We're pleased to be able to announce the launch of this world exclusive Bitcoin jackpot. Today, 1,000 Bitcoins are worth over $20 million and might be worth even more by tomorrow.  Bitcoin is a worldwide phenomenon, and Lottoland is giving our customers the opportunity to get involved," says Lottoland CEO Nigel Birrell.
