Top prize Lotto Plus

Lotto Plus is an option added to a Lotto bet for PLN 1. The same six numbers from the range 1 to 49 that you marked on your ticket take part in an additional draw – from a separate pool of numbers, carried out right after the main draw. The funds from these add-ons form a separate prize fund, independent of the Lotto pool. This fund finances the prize for matching all six numbers, which amounts to PLN 1 million and is a fixed sum, set out in the game rules.

This is the main difference compared to the games with a rollover: in Lotto and Eurojackpot the top-tier prize depends on the size of the pool and the number of winners, and when no one matches it, it carries over to the next draw and grows. Lotto Plus has no such mechanism. One million zloty is paid in full to everyone who matches all six numbers, whether there is one such person or ten. The prize is not split between winners and does not accumulate over time. Mini Lotto, Multi Multi and Kaskada have no rollover either – for them we show the top prize of the next draw, not an accumulating pool.

In this game the situation is simple: nothing happens. No winner in a given draw does not cause the funds to carry over to the next one, because the amount for matching all six is fixed in advance anyway. The next draw – always held together with the Lotto draw – starts with the same stake of PLN 1 million. That's why on the Lotto Plus results pages you won't find a growing jackpot counter like the one accompanying Lotto or Eurojackpot. Lower-tier prizes are settled according to the rules set out in the game regulations.

The probability depends only on how many possible sets there are. You choose six numbers from a pool of 1 to 49, and the same number of numbers is drawn – the mathematics stays identical in every draw. In the case of Lotto Plus this is especially clear, because the prize amount doesn't change at all. So if a growing jackpot in another game looks tempting, it's worth remembering that what grows is the potential payout, not the probability of winning. Numbers are drawn independently of previous results, and past draws don't affect the ones that follow.
