Malta Lottery Receipt Archive: research summary
Independent analysis by Julian Calleja
Website: https://lotterija.juliancalleja.com/
Data snapshot prepared: 2026-11-14T11:34:40.831498+00:00
Draw dates covered: 2016-11-15 to 2026-10-15

Scope
118 checked draw results, 3,172 winning receipts and EUR 7,185,843.00 in listed prizes.
These are published amounts, not confirmed payments.
2 calendar months in the archive span have no source link. This does not establish whether a draw took place.

Findings
- 1,561 of 3,172 winning receipts (49.2%) were for purchases strictly below EUR 10. Receipts worth exactly EUR 10 are excluded from this group.
- 363 of 2,263 distinct winning IDs (16.0%) appear on at least two winning receipts. Repeats may occur within one draw or across draws.
- The 227 winning IDs with the highest combined listed prizes account for EUR 2,822,840.00, or 39.3% of listed prize money. This group is the top 10% of winning IDs, with its size rounded up.

Interpretation
Purchase value is the amount spent on the purchase. Listed prize is the amount printed in the results.
A winning ID groups receipts carrying the same published identifier; it is not a verified individual.
We do not have all submitted entries or the number each ID entered. These findings cannot establish winning probabilities or whether the draw was fair.
We have no benchmark here for deciding whether prize concentration is unusual. Both larger prizes and repeated wins contribute to prize totals.
The archive may not contain every historical result.
