Det Danske Klasselotteri is a state-owned lottery in Denmark.
The lottery was launched as the Royal Copenhagen Class Lottery by the Royal Orphanage (Det Kongelige Opfostringshjem) and authorized by Frederick V by royal resolution of 29 June 1753. [1] The first lottery draw took place on 25 February 1754 at Charlottenborg Palace on Kongens Nytorv.
The Royal Orphanage was in 1771 deprived of its royal warrant by Johann Friedrich Struensee. Since 1 February 1771 it has been organized by the Danish government. [2] Eggert Balthazar-Christensen (1885) was appointed as managing director of the lottery in 1936. It was based at Suomisvej 2 in 1950. [3]
In 1921, it was converted into an aktieselskab under the name Danske Klasselotteri A/S. [1]
In 2006, Det Danske Klasselotteri generated total revenues of DKK 650 million.
Two lotteries are arranged each year, one in April and one in October. Each lottery is divided into monthly renewals and draws (classes). 1/1, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 lottery tickets are available. The prize fund consists of 65% of the stakes. [1]

The Order of the Dannebrog is a Danish order of chivalry instituted in 1671 by Christian V. Until 1808, membership in the Order was limited to fifty members of noble or royal rank, who formed a single class known as White Knights to distinguish them from the Blue Knights who were members of the Order of the Elephant. In 1808, the Order was reformed and divided into four classes. The statute of the Order was amended in 1951 by a Royal Ordinance so that both men and women could be members of the Order. Today, the Order of the Dannebrog is a means of honouring and rewarding the faithful servants of the modern Danish state for meritorious civil or military service, for a particular contribution to the arts, sciences or business life, or for working for Danish interests.
