Documented lottery wins map
Explore sourced historical wins, filter the table and open the map. Then take 10 lessons on reading geographic data. This is an editorial selection, not a complete archive.
Documented historical examples
Editorial selection of three historical wins, checked on 13 October 2026. This is not a complete register or a current ranking. Markers are reference locations, not winning retailers or private addresses. The Krotoszyn marker represents the county, whose exact winning town was not disclosed.
Records: 3

1. What a marker means
A marker represents a published event, not a winner’s home. If only a county is published, a reference point is placed near its seat.
Worked example
Two prizes in one town are two events. Exercise counts are fictional teaching data, not actual results.
Watch out
Do not interpret a reference point as the purchase address.
2. Online wins
An online win without a published location belongs in the table, not an arbitrary city. No marker does not mean no win.
Worked example
In an example dataset, 2 online wins out of 20 records are 10%.
Watch out
Do not infer winners’ private locations.
3. Amounts and scale
Compare amounts in the same currency and unit. A million is 1,000,000. The table shows the amount reported by the source.
Worked example
PLN 3.5 million = PLN 3,500,000.
Watch out
Gross prizes are not take-home amounts. This section does not calculate tax.
4. Comparing counts
A count difference describes events in this dataset. It does not automatically describe the chance per ticket.
Worked example
Example: 8 records in A and 3 in B differ by 5.
Watch out
More tickets sold can yield more wins without changing the chance per ticket.
5. Date and game filters
A filter changes the visible dataset. Count, table and map must use the same conditions. The date is the draw date reported in the source.
Worked example
Selecting 2020 must exclude a 2021 record.
Watch out
An article’s publication date may be later than the draw date.
6. Duplicate events
The same announcement can appear on several sites. Count each win once using game, date and event identity.
Worked example
Two articles about one win do not create two winners.
Watch out
Equal amounts alone do not prove duplication; separate prizes can match.
7. Average prize
The mean of published records describes only those records. A selection of large prizes does not represent all tickets.
Worked example
Example prizes of 2 and 8 million average 5 million.
Watch out
Do not call this the expected payout of a purchased ticket.
8. Missing locations
Separate record count from marker count. A record may lack coordinates, and several records may share a location.
Worked example
7 records, 2 without a location: 5 can be located.
Watch out
A blank area is not evidence that nobody ever won there.
9. The comparison denominator
Comparing win rates requires ticket counts and matching coverage. Map counts do not provide that denominator.
Worked example
Example: 5 wins per 500 tickets equals 1 per 100. This is arithmetic practice, not game data.
Watch out
Population is not a substitute for tickets sold.
10. Sources and coverage
Check each record’s source, date and location precision. A selection of documented examples is not a complete register.
Worked example
Verifying 4 of 20 records gives 20% verification coverage.
Watch out
Do not use an incomplete map to rank lucky cities or forecast wins.
