What are the main points for claiming a prize with this? I have heard various differing reports about it. Some say that only Polish citizens are eligible to play and others say that anyone can play (even tourists there for the weekend) and others saying that you can claim only if you are a registered resident.

Can anyone clear this up for me?

Hmm I think that anyone can play but when claiming prize you have to be able to pay tax so you should have NIP. Common sense says that anyone can play and the winner find any workaround to take the money.

three numbers or four numbers correct is a cash payment at the kiosk/shop

six numbers correct would mean a phone call and various confirmation questions based on your ticket. I imagine that you'd have to pass on bank details too.

five numbers correct... i have no idea. i imagine because of the sum involved (a few thousand, maybe) it would mean at least a phone call and also bank details.

Lottery winnings are taxed? That's news to me. So you don't need to be a citizen then? That's good news. I mean it isn't too much hassle to get a friend to claim it and have them transfer the money to you (after a handling fee of course).

Sadly no, but I always play the lottery and then it struck me one day: "What if I do win, will I even be able to claim it?". So this is more for future reference.

Interesting to know. What is the maximum amount they can pay in a shop? I know in the UK it is a maximum of 100 pound (subject to the shop having enough cash).

In addition to Peter's answer.

keep in mind that three numbers is only 20zl. (fixed win/prize)

four numbers can vary. the last and only time i got four numbers it was 40zl.

Most definitely they are! It's a hefty tax, too. The govt takes a good chunk of the money if it's something like 45 million, you only get 35 or so.

There isn't even one word about foreigners in whole terms and cond so it doesn't matter at all. Text in bold says the maximum amount they can pay in a shop is 2000zł
