Information in English The Recycling Lottery

The Recycling Lottery (Pantelotteriet) is a lottery where the deposit return value of empty bottles and cans recycled through a reverse vending machine can be converted into a stake in a national lottery. The lottery supports the Norwegian Red Cross.

A lottery ticket in the Recycling Lottery costs NOK 0,50 and participants can potentially win anything from NOK 50 to one million. The result is found directly on the lottery ticket printout which all participants receive from the reverse vending machine after participation.

The beneficiary in Norway of the lottery is the Norwegian Red Cross.

The Recycling Lottery in Norway is operated by Norsk Pantelotteri AS, a company jointly owned by the Thon Group and the Norwegian Red Cross.

The Recycling Lottery has been operational in Norway since 2008, and annually generates substantial contributions to the Red Cross.
