POLISH LOTTO EXPLAINED

The Polish Lotto is the main national lottery of Poland, and has been going strong since its first draw all the way back in 1957! It started life in the aftermath of the Second World War, designed to entertain the people of Poland during the testing times the country endured throughout those years. However, in the decades that followed the Polish lotto evolved, becoming enshrined in the culture of the country, as well as raising significant funds for multiple public projects.

HOW DOES POLISH LOTTO WORK?

If you want to bet on the Polish Lotto, it is best to understand how the lottery works first. Thankfully this may be one of the simplest lottery’s in the world. To bet on it is easy; you choose 6 numbers from a pool of 49 then you wait for the draw and cross your fingers that your numbers get plucked out of the draw machine! Although you do need to match all six numbers to hit the top payout, you will also get a payout for matching three, four or five numbers. There is also an additional bet, PolishLotto+ which offers you a second chance of hitting payout. For just R5 more you can be entered in to this extra draw and stand a chance of winning R4.5 Million!

WHAT IS POLISH MINI LOTTO?

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes a lotto is so popular that it becomes deserving of a sequel! That is what happened in Poland when, in 1976, the Polish Lotto was introduced to its baby brother – the Mini Lotto! The Mini Lotto was designed to be a cheap lottery, fast-paced alternative to it’s big brothers, with punters only needing to choose 5 numbers from a pool of 42. This not only further simplifies the lotto, but it also makes the odds of hitting the top payout even better! The draws are also much more frequent than the main lotto, giving Polish punters even more opportunities to hit that big payout!

When we come to comparing the Polish Lotto and the Mini Lotto, we will find two significantly different lotteries that cater to varying preferences and styles. The Polish Lotto is largely characterised by its larger payout potential, which makes it the lottery of choice for those who like to hunt down those bigger payouts. The Mini Lotto on the other-hand is significantly cheaper than bigger lotto, attracting those who prefer small stakes and frequent draws.

The odds on offer are also significantly different. While the Polish is one of the easiest lottos to win, the Mini Lotto is THE easiest lotto to win with odds of just 1 in 850,668! While this may make you consider choosing the Mini-Lotto over its older brother, don’t sleep on the fact that the Polish Lotto offers much better odds of hitting any payout. In fact, Mini Lotto’s odds of  1 in 124 are more than double the Polish lotto’s 1 in 54!
