Poland Lotto – Lotto Polska

National Lottery games in Poland are operated by Totalizator Sportowy who have been running Polish Lottery games since the government granted it a license to begin operations on January 25th 1956.

Totalizator Sportowy – is one of Poland’s largest companies and is owned wholly and solely by the Polish State Treasury.

The Poland LOTTO brand is one of the strongest in the Polish market and it is estimated that nearly 60% of the entire Polish population play games that are run by Totalizator Sportowy.

The first game to be introduced by the Polish Lottery was the Toto Lotek back in 1957 which then reigned supreme for 16 years. Its up to date variant – the Poland Lotto or Lotto Polska – is now the strongest game in the whole portfolio of lottery games offered by Lotto PL.

There are numerous lotteries offered by Totalizator Sportowy and the Polish Lottery including Keno, Zdrapki, Mini Lotto, Multi Multi, Kaskada, Joker and the Lotto Poland flagship game that we are going to look at here – the incredibly popular Polish Lotto – formerly known as the Duzy Lotek…

Poland Lotto – Overview

The Duzy Lotek literally means the “Large” Lottery and the Poland Lotto is the oldest game offered by Totalizator Sportowy being introduced way back on January 27th 1957 and has remained the premier Polish Lottery.

Originally it was known as Toto Lotek until its name was changed to the Duzy Lotek in September 1975 before more recently becoming the Poland LOTTO on October 9th 2009.

The Lotto PL – Poland Lotto 6/49 – is a traditional jackpot, draw-style, lotto game and is the most popular game offered by Totalizator Sportowy, the Poland National Lottery company.

The Polish Lotto jackpot commences at zł 2 Million and for each draw that the top prize is not won – it will rollover and the increase will be added onto the jackpot for the following draw – making for an even bigger jackpot figure to be won.

Draws for the Poland Lotto – Lotto Polska – take place 3 times each week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 9.40pm.

We are very pleased to have reviewed the Poland Lotto 6 49 and would very much recommend taking a look at how it works below...

Poland Lotto – How it Works

The Poland Lotto – formerly Duzy Lotek – uses a matrix that is known as a 6/49 which means that 6 winning lottery numbers are drawn out of a number range from 1 to 49.

So – when you are playing the Lotto Polska – you will need to select 6 numbers out of a range of numbers from 1 to 49.

If you match all 6 of the winning numbers drawn then you will be a winner of the first division prize – the Polish Lotto jackpot.

In addition to the jackpot itself, there are 3 further ways in which you can win with this Polish Lottery – which means that are a great number of prizes to be won 3 times every week.

A “Random Select” facility is also available when playing the Poland Lotto – very much the same as the “Lucky Dip” option that is used in the UK National Lottery, Europe’s EuroMillions or the “Quick Pick” used in nearly all USA Lottery games – which means that you can ask your lottery retailer or computer to automatically select all your Lotto Polska numbers for you.

Therefore – playing the Lotto PL is simple…just select your own numbers or request them to be chosen for you by choosing the comuter's random number generator.

The price per entry into the Lotto Poland is just zł 3 per line.
