Poland Lotto
Thanks to the fall of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, Poland became a part of the European Union a few years ago and even before that had already been hard at work trying to rebuild itself as a Western nation. However, one thing that has remained the same from Communist times (and it’s a good thing too, since it’s a great game) is the Poland Lottery game. Managed since 1956 by the Totalizator Sportowy Company under government license, the game has paid out billions of Zlotys since its inception and is today set to pay you more money when you play it yourself.
Game Type
Played three days a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings, the Poland Lottery game is a refreshing change from other European lottery games in that it retains the old style lottery system which so many have abandoned in favor of the double matrix style of the American Powerball game. The Poland Lottery game simply requires that you pick six numbers out of a pool of 49 possible choices, making it simple and easy to win the jackpot and walk away with lots of cash.
Progressive Jackpot
No, we don’t mean that Poland is a progressive nation – that’s a given. Instead, what we mean is that the Polish Lottery jackpot is progressive in that it gets progressively larger each time the game is played and no one wins the game. This means effectively that the sky is the limit for the size of the prize you can win when you hit the jackpot and you have that much more reason to keep on playing until you get the big one.
Who Can Play
Under communism, the Polish Lottery was restricted exclusively to Polish citizens and tickets were only sold at specified locations throughout Poland. However, now that Poland is a member of the European Union, they have thrown the game open to the world and anyone can purchase a ticket. You don’t even need to physically visit the country in order to do so since the tickets are sold through specialty websites which offer tickets from the Poland Lottery and dozens of other exotic and not so exotic lottery games. All you need then is a dream of what you’ll do with all that money if you win.
Odds of Winning
The odds of winning the jackpot in the Poland Lottery are 1 in 13,980,000 and the odds of winning the second prize are 1 in 54,201. Third prize winners happen for approximately every 1 in 1,032 games played and the odds of winning the fourth prize are just 1 in 57.
