We present a method to compute the tropicalization of a non-archimedean lattice. This method is based on computing the entropy vector of the lattice in question and producing a polyhedral complex whose support is the image of the lattice under coordinate-wise valuation. Each lattice gives rise to a natural probability distribution on the tropical linear space obtained from the vector space it spans. We call these measures Gauss-Laplace distributions
