Just because Poland may not be the first country you think of when you think about big, spectacular lotteries doesn’t mean you should write it off prematurely. You could very well end up being surprised by the sorts of prizes on offer in Polish lottery draw games, not to mention the fact that the winning odds of games such as Poland’s Mini Lotto<\/a> are among the best in the world. Don’t believe us? Read on to find out all about the Polish lotteries available on TheLotter and why should be paying more attention to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you play in the Poland Lottery from abroad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ll get the most important question out of the way first, because if you can’t play Polish Lottery games outside of Poland, there’s probably not much use in you reading this entire guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll be relieved then to find out there’s no issue with playing in the Poland Lottery from abroad. Anyone who has a ticket to a Polish lottery draw has the same winning chances as any local. In fact, the biggest barrier to participating in Polish draw games is getting to an official lottery retailer. Thankfully, with TheLotter,<\/a> buying official Polish Lottery tickets can be done easily, safely and securely – entirely online!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Polish lotteries can you play on TheLotter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Currently, TheLotter offers two of the most popular national lotteries in Poland: Poland Lotto<\/a> and Mini Lotto<\/a>. You can easily compare the two in the following table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland Lotto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Poland Lotto is both the oldest and largest national lottery in the country. It was founded in 1957 and is played in the popular 6\/49 format in which there are 6 numbers to choose from a guess range of 1-49. This lottery features no additional or bonus numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 4 prize categories, players can start winning prizes by matching half of the winning numbers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prize<\/th>Match<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>

2nd<\/td>5<\/td><\/tr>
3rd<\/td>4<\/td><\/tr>
4th<\/td>3<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Poland Lotto has a minimum starting jackpot z\u0142 2 million<\/strong> but, interestingly enough, it has no jackpot cap. That means that theoretically, at least, there’s no limit to how high this jackpot can grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, Poland Lotto’s highest record jackpot was worth z\u0142 57.8 million<\/strong> (approximately \u20ac12.3 million<\/strong>.) This is also the record for any Polish lottery – for now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland Mini Lotto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Second to Poland Lotto, both on this list and in size, is Mini Lotto, a unique little daily game with big odds. The jackpot may only be around z\u0142 400,000<\/strong> (approximately \u20ac85,000<\/strong> – although the exact final amount depends on ticket sales and may be higher or lower) but if no players match all 6 numbers the prize rolls down to the next prize division. That means it’s very possible to win the top prize by matching only 4 (or even 3) numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mini Lotto’s format is 5\/42, meaning it has less numbers to choose and<\/em> a smaller guess range to select them from. Like Poland Lotto, there are no additional or bonus numbers to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
