“Enormous in times like these that the entire Swedish people shut up,” says the presenter Stefan Odelberg in the press release.
According to Hans Sahlin, CEO of Folkspel, there was a concern that Swedish households would cut back on Bingo lotteries this year.
“It didn’t happen that way, which we would like to interpret as a great concern for the largest and most important movement we have. We know that association life right now needs every penny,” he says in the press release.
The figure can rise by approximately five million kroner when the surplus from the selling associations’ lotteries has been collected.
Bingolotto’s sit-down evening has been broadcast on TV4 since 1995 and has been part of the Nordic Museum’s collection of Swedish traditions for several years.
