Bingolotto is a Swedish TV-show lottery that was first broadcast 1989 on local TV and since 1991 nationwide on the Swedish network TV4. Leif "Loket" Olsson hosted the show from 1989-1999 (and for a short period in 2004). Since Olsson's retirement, the show has been hosted by entertainer and musician Lars Kronér, skiing athlete Gunde Svan, and TV-personality Rickard Olsson, of which none has been able to maintain the show's earlier popularity.
