history

After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the sports functionary Karl Laue founded and headed the Lower Saxony Football Association while still in the British occupation zone . Former football - goalkeeper , nicknamed " Kaiser Karl" was from 1947 - even before the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany - assessors in the Board of the State Sports Association of Lower Saxony and called for the establishment of an organized in Lower Saxony wagering game to promote football in. In early 1949 , as a self-help organization for sport, the shareholders, who are still active today (as of 01/2014), introduced the football pool in Lower Saxony under the name of the "Niedersächsische Fußball-Toto Gesellschaft" as an organizer .

From June 1949 to August 1975, in addition to money prizes , homes were also drawn. In this context, at the end of 1955, the "Lower Saxony Toto scandal " became known, an affair about money, power and confused connections, in which, among others, the Toto managing director Heinz Göing and the Upper Government Councilor Heinrich Hünecke, who was actually obliged to oversee the Lower Saxony Ministry of Education , and the former officer Karl-Heinz Finger were involved. Barely a year after the new version of the Lower Saxony Betting Act of 31 March 1955 had the state of Lower Saxony can look into the Lower Saxony Totos deeper into the personnel structures: the tax investigation was allegedly to poaching by members of the sports club Hannover 96 information or other football clubs, the prosecutor turned on. A White vest probably retained only the chairman and "football president" Karl Laue: According to a report in the news magazine Der Spiegel in early 1956 of a sports official stressed, among other things, he had about the carbonless -Wettschein invented , but without losing any of his personal advantage to think.

The Lower Saxony Numbers Lottery GmbH was also founded in 1956, in which the State of Lower Saxony participated as a partner. The legal basis for the number 6 out of 49 lottery in Lower Saxony, which was played for the first time on June 10, 1956, was , as in the case of the soccer pool, the decisions of the Lower Saxony cabinet and the Lower Saxony state parliament . As a result, other games of chance were allowed.
