Lotto Plus is an additional draw of the same six numbers you marked on your Lotto ticket, added for a one-złoty surcharge. This page shows the 1–49 pool as a grid of tiles colored by hit count in the Plus draws — not in the base Lotto draws, since these are two independent result sets from separate machines.
In short
The Lotto Plus heatmap colors all 49 numbers at once: the darker the tile, the more often that number came up in the additional draw. You can narrow the view to the last 7, 14, 25, 50, 100, 250 or 500 draws, or to a chosen year. Keep in mind this is descriptive statistics — it tells you what already happened, not what's about to happen.
How to read the grid colors
Color thresholds are set by quintiles, meaning five equal groups by frequency. The darkest shade holds roughly one-fifth of the pool — about ten numbers out of forty-nine — and the same applies to the lightest shade. This keeps the map looking similar whether you're viewing 50 draws or five hundred: the scale always adapts to the chosen range rather than to the absolute hit count.
Why seven different ranges
With seven draws from a 1–49 pool, only forty-two balls come out, so more than half the numbers score zero hits and the map is nearly empty. With five hundred draws, each number appears on average several dozen times and the differences between tiles flatten to a few percent. The middle ranges — 50 and 100 draws — show the most contrast without giving the false impression that some number truly stands out. Yearly breakdowns let you compare successive Plus seasons against each other.
What the map is practically useful for
Since Lotto Plus pays a fixed 1 million PLN for the top prize regardless of the number of winners, the argument about splitting the pool doesn't apply here — with two winning tickets, each still gets the full million. So the map is useful for something else: it shows whether your set of numbers is clustered in one corner of the grid. Six numbers spread across the entire 1–49 pool have exactly the same odds as six neighboring ones, but it's easier to check on your ticket whether you keep repeating the same block of ten.
