How Russian lotteries work and how realistic it is to win
Let's get ahead of ourselves: yes, the lottery is sometimes won. No, the lottery is not a way to earn money. The lottery company always wins. Everything is legal.

dabbled in lotteries
In Russia, there is a system of state lotteries. For the buyer, it usually looks like this: you buy a lottery ticket, mark the numbers on it, and somewhere in Moscow a drawing takes place. Numbers are randomly drawn. If you guessed any of them, you won. The more you guessed, the more you won.
For example, for this article, I bought a Russian Lotto 4 out of 20 ticket for 100 rubles. You have to guess four numbers in each of the two fields. I guessed two numbers in one of the fields and won 100 rubles.
Who is doing it
By law, all lotteries in Russia are state-owned. You cannot get together with business partners and organize a lottery: since 2014, the state has been a monopoly here.
Lotteries in Russia come from two ministries: sports and finance. Several private companies are subordinate to them, from which the ministries buy services for organizing and distributing their lotteries. That is, the ministry itself does not print tickets and does not publish the results of lotteries in newspapers - this is done by contractors.
Contractors commissioned by ministries do most of the work: they buy equipment, get certified, make tickets, keep records and sell them; place advertisements, conduct draws, wipe floors in lottery centers; looking for the winners, digging through the paperwork and paying out the money. Since 2018, they also pay some taxes on winnings.
The largest Russian lottery contractor - Stoloto - drew a picture for us of how everything works:
How they play
Depending on the type of lottery, there are three fundamental ways to play them.
Right at the point of purchase. You buy a ticket with an erasable layer, erase the layer, and if you get a winning combination, you win. The result of the drawing is known immediately, as soon as you have erased the protective layer, and the lottery itself took place, as it were, during the ticket production.
The lottery is that you chose this particular ticket, and not the next one. This ticket already contains whether you won or not.
Purely theoretically, lottery players can print lottery tickets so that none of them has a winning combination. But they assure that this will never happen. Let us suppose.
On the computer. Somewhere in the bowels of the lottery company there is a computer, a sophisticated random number generator works in the computer. Several times a day, he is given the command to spit out random numbers, they are immediately published on the lottery website. If by this time you have bought a ticket and you have guessed the right numbers in it, you have won.
I bought a ticket for the Rapido lottery directly from the site of the lottery distributor.
Purely theoretically, a random number generator can be given the task of spitting out only those numbers that no one noted in this draw. After all, the lottery knows in advance who marked which numbers. But lottery players assure that this is out of the question.
In the lottery. There are special devices for drawing lotteries: balls with numbers are loaded into them, air jets are blown, the balls are mixed, and at some point the balls fall into a special tube. The first few balls are considered dropped, and if I guessed them, I won.
Draws on the lottery drums at Stoloto are broadcast live on the Internet, plus you can watch them at the lottery center in Moscow on Volgogradsky Prospekt:
A variant of the lottery machine is "Russian Lotto". This is the same lottery drum, only instead of a plastic flask - a bag, instead of balls - barrels, instead of air jets - a leader. The draws of the "Russian Lotto" are broadcast on TV, the shooting takes place in advance in the studio with the audience.
Purely theoretically, of course, it is possible to give the balls an additional charge or mass, and engrave a microcipher on the kegs, by which the presenter can determine which kegs need to be pulled out. But lotteries say they don't do any of that.
Lotteries with prizes of tens and hundreds of millions are played in bags and lottery drums; with prizes of hundreds of thousands - on random number generators; the most modest winnings - right on the tickets.
What is the trick
The trick of state lotteries is three things:
- The money in the prize pool is the money of other lottery participants who have bought tickets. This is not the money of the state and private investors, it's just the money of all participants.
- Of all the money that goes into the lottery system, only half goes to the formation of the prize fund. The remaining half is distributed between the state and private companies. This is directly written in the legal information on holding lotteries. Behold: "The prize fund is 50% of the proceeds."
- The total winnings of all people from one lottery draw cannot exceed the total prize fund. If 100 people guessed all the numbers of the draw and claim a super prize of 100 million, these 100 million will be divided among 100 people, each will receive a million.
The general rule is: as soon as you buy a ticket, the lottery system wins immediately, and you - how lucky. And even if you won, you won not from the state, but from other, less fortunate participants in the lottery.
Winning the lottery is always winning at the expense of others
It does not matter at all whether you won 120 rubles, 10 thousand or 200 million rubles. No matter how much you win, the lottery system has already earned several times more, and you received this money from hundreds of thousands of other people who did not win. The trick is that there is no trick.
You can clearly see how lotteries work in our video.
What is the likelihood of cheating
Lottery regulars may claim that the lottery system is cheating them: they collect evidence of fraud, complain to the courts and build conspiracy theories on forums. But so far, the courts and official expertise do not recognize that lottery players are cheating.
Lottery equipment has been tested, certified and complies with international lottery equipment standards. There is an entire industry that manufactures gambling equipment, and these enterprises are very careful to ensure that all their devices give a smooth random result.
Some lottery draws are broadcast on TV in a tape, and there really is room for fraud. But it's unclear why this should be done if the lottery company has already made money, whatever the prize.
There are stories on YouTube of people who, according to them, did not receive their winnings due to technical problems. How they end is unknown.

What is the probability of winning
The probability of winning a significant amount in the lottery is measured in tiny fractions of a percent. That is, the probability is not zero, but insufficient to somehow rely on it. And, unlike the probability of raising your salary or collecting a reliable investment portfolio, you do not influence the probability of winning the lottery in any way.
Most lotteries are set up in such a way that the more you guess, the more you can claim. For a little guessed numbers, you most often get a small fixed prize, for a lot - you claim a part of a more serious prize. An example is the "5 out of 36" lottery. In it you need to guess five numbers from one field and one number from the second, in total 6 numbers.
How much money can you get in the lottery "5 out of 36"
2 numbers out of 6
80 R
800 R
8000 R
from 100 000 R
from 3 000 000 R
The first three prizes are fixed and guaranteed, the other two are distributed among all guessers and cannot be lower than the guaranteed minimum. For example, if the lottery has a super prize of 100 million rubles and 20 people win the super prize, then everyone will receive 5 million. In reality, however, this almost never happens.
In practice, the chances of winning something significant are one in millions, and the average chance of getting your money back is one in eight. When you play the lottery, you will, on average, only make money once out of eight. Here are the lottery odds calculations from the Stoloto website.
Your chances in the Stoloto lottery
Gosloto "4 out of 20"
Win the maximum
win something
Gosloto "6 out of 45"
Win the maximum
win something
Gosloto "5 out of 36"
Win the maximum
win something
Gosloto "7 out of 49"
Win the maximum
win something
Sportloto "6 out of 49"
Win the maximum
win something
It must be understood that the mathematical probability makes sense only on giant samples and is meaningless on small ones. For example, if you play "6 out of 45" and bought 8.14 million tickets, this does not mean that you will definitely win a super prize. But if you look at the 81.4 million tickets sold, chances are you'll find about 10 tickets that won this super prize.
To increase the chances, an extended bet is used: for example, at least 4 numbers must be marked on the ticket, and 8 are marked. But with each additional marked number, the cost of the ticket increases: for example, if in the “4 out of 20” lottery, mark not 4 in each field, but 8 numbers, the ticket price will exceed 300 thousand rubles and the site will not sell it because of the limit on one operation.
How to read odds of winning
Psychological trick: read not "Chance to win at least something - 1 in 57", but "Chance to lose - 98.25%".
Another good example: the chance of not winning the super prize in the 6 out of 49 lottery is 99.999992849%.
Is someone winning?
Since millions of people participate in lotteries throughout Russia every day, no, no, yes, and there is a lucky one. In February, someone Yuri N. took 267 million from the 6 out of 45 lottery.
The Stoloto website contains the stories of the winners, but you need to understand that these are dozens of victories out of billions of tickets sold. Many winners boast in their reports that they have been playing regularly for several years and regularly betting more than a thousand rubles. Imagine how much money they spent all the time on all those tickets.
What does it mean when they say "Every second ticket wins"
In promoting the lottery, the organizers put pressure on the fact that there are many winners and there are more and more. In the New Year's draw of Russian Lotto, they promised that every second ticket would win, and the prize fund - 2 billion. As a result, 42.5 million tickets were bought for the New Year's draw. Won 18.9 million tickets. Strictly speaking, this is not every second, but close.
Under the words “Every second ticket wins”, the organizer means that every second ticket will pay off. To put it simply, out of two tickets for 100 rubles, only one will bring 100 rubles of winnings. The phrase "every second ticket wins" also means "every second ticket loses."
In the Russian Lotto New Year's draw, out of 42.5 million tickets purchased, only 158 tickets brought in more than 131 rubles.
One of those who worked on this article bought 5 tickets for different draws of the Russian Lotto and the Golden Horseshoe, in which the numbers almost did not repeat. They cost 500 R. The victory was brought by 2 tickets out of 5, the co-author received 200 R and did not get rich.
A couple of tickets fought off, the rest - lost taxes
The likelihood that you will win some significant amount in the lottery is so small that we will not even write about taxation. Read better
Is it possible to forge a ticket
Lotteries do not want you to fake a ticket, so they came up with a security system.
When you buy a ticket, you mark the numbers for the game on it. These numbers are immediately entered into the electronic database - the ticket is registered. Now the lottery player knows who you are, what numbers you bet on, what circulation and what ticket number you have on hand. This applies to both paper and electronic tickets - everyone registers.
When registering, you may be asked for a mobile number to which the winning code will be sent - this is also a means of protection. This is how the lottery system gets to know you better.
If you buy a paper ticket and mark additional numbers in it after the drawing, it will not pass the authenticity check - there will be other numbers in the database, the ticket will be invalidated. If you find a lottery ticket on the street, but it is not registered to your phone, you will not be able to receive the winnings either.
The only way to fake a lottery ticket is to hack the servers of the lottery organizers and fake information about your ticket. But this must be done in the very first fraction of a second after the drawing - between the time the winning combination fell out and the time the system scanned the database in search of winning tickets. It seems to be fantasy.
Can the winnings not be returned?
There are stories on the network that Stoloto conducts draws dishonestly, does not pay money to the winners, or performs actions similar to fraud. However, in judicial practice with the participation of Stoloto, there is not a single case when Stoloto would be found guilty of dishonest pranks. So it is impossible to argue that lottery operators and distributors are deceiving players.
Decide for yourself whether to trust these people.
Remember
- The lottery system won the moment you bought the ticket. Whether you win is unknown.
- The chances of winning are better calculated as the chances of losing. Sobering.
- If the organizer of the lottery says that he will win every second ticket, then every second ticket will pay off, and not bring a large sum. Accordingly, on every second ticket you will lose money.
- There are no schemes to win the lottery. If you buy several tickets, make sure that the numbers do not repeat, this will help make sure that at least one ticket pays off.
- Raise your salary through negotiation or start your own business - ventures with a much better chance of success than the lottery.
Is it possible to win the lottery and how to do it? What are the best lotteries to play? As life practice shows, winning the lottery is an event that can happen to anyone.
Good day, dear readers of HiterBober.ru business magazine. Alexander Berezhnov and Vitaly Tsyganok are with you.
Winning in some local lotteries and "intellectual casinos" ourselves, we summarized the topic of winning the lottery, talked with friends who regularly raise good money in this business and presented our vision of this issue.
You don't have to have a college degree, be the son of wealthy parents, or finish school with a gold medal to win. To win, you need only luck and faith in your own luck. It is faith that makes a person buy a lottery ticket.
Some lucky people need to buy a lottery ticket only once to win, others buy lotteries regularly (sometimes for several years in a row), until they finally receive a reward for patience and perseverance.
These questions are of interest to many - not only avid players and gamblers - read our article about working methods and profitable technologies for playing the lottery, as well as the biggest winnings in history.
1. Is it possible to win the lottery and what you need to know for this
Skeptics believe that only the lottery organizers remain the winners, optimists believe that Sportloto, Gosloto and other popular lotteries are a real way to gain real financial well-being.
Let's say right away that, of course, it is possible to win the lottery, and each player has the chance of taking the jackpot. Probability theory and mathematics with basic statistics allow for the possibility of winning any lottery ticket at any time.
However, in game theory there is also such a thing as distance, and it is the distance that is the main obstacle on the way of ordinary players to the desired wealth. In other words, a fair amount of time can pass from the moment you expect a win to the moment you win. You can play the lottery for a day, a month, a year, ten years - and the probability of winning will always be about the same.
In the article we will try not to touch on the "mystical" aspect of the game, but it should still be mentioned.
There are players who believe in spells for good luck, in a series of victories, in lucky days and numbers, in rabbit feet and rituals. There are many films, books and TV shows devoted to examples of incredible luck. However, in reality, everything is more prosaic: when playing the lottery, we are dealing with the mathematical theory of the game and nothing more.
Of course, faith in one's own strengths and healthy optimism are conditions that work more as a plus than a minus. A person who believes in luck is more likely to be right than a hopeless pessimist.
Currently, online lotteries have become very popular, which almost do not differ from the usual "paper" and offline lotteries.

3. What determines winning the lottery - the search for the secret of victory
Mathematicians have long wondered about the possibility of winning the lottery. As a result, many studies have been carried out on the, Is it possible to develop a strategy for raise winning probabilities, is it possible, having enough funds to buy lottery tickets, to go into a plus, not a minus, and also many other questions on this topic.
Research results:
- All numbers fall out with the same probability, any particular number has no advantages;
- There is not much difference between intelligent number guessing and random selection;
- There are no 100% winning strategies.
Eventually The conclusion from the research turned out to be quite simple. You just need to bet without thinking and wait for victory, it's like in roulette. However, this idea was refuted.
Following the mathematicians, psychologists undertook to investigate this topic. They explained the size of the gain by the behavior of people and their choices, because how more people will choose a winning combination, the less ↓ they all get money.
Therefore, the goal of the player is in choosing the number that is least ⇓ likely to be chosen by others.
Psychologists have developed a tactic to play against other players, not against the lottery. It is necessary to study the behavior of other players, what combinations they choose, and correctly express certain patterns from all this.
The main factor in the game for this tactic is the need to avoid lucky numbers . You need to study the psychology of people, their habits and habits, identify the most popular numbers and not bet on them so that your winnings are bigger and more likely.
The lottery decides 2 things:
- the number of tickets purchased;
- the quality of your work, that is, compliance with all the recommendations that will be listed in this article a little lower.

To make a profit, participate in serious time-tested projects. But even in this case, it is not necessary to count on millions. Why is buying tickets so popular?
The fact is that the answer to the question of whether it is possible to win the lottery in Russia remains in the affirmative. In addition to the aforementioned Albert Begrakyan, the following winners received large sums of money:
- A resident of a suburb of Moscow once won 35 million rubles. Yevgeny Sviridov, for the funds received, installed a water pipe in his village, paid for the repair of the road. In conclusion, he opened his own business, giving work to the inhabitants of the village.
- Spouses from Samara also became millionaires. They used the winnings to build a church.
Although the chances of success are low, it is a pleasure to participate in the draw. And it is worth approaching the task correctly, and you will slightly increase the chances. Let you not break the jackpot, but you will have a small amount of free funds in your hands.
Varieties of lotteries: instant and draw
Among the lotteries in Russia, in which it is realistic to win, there are 2 types:
- Instant means that you buy a ticket, erase the protective coating and immediately know if you received a prize. This type is in demand because buyers do not have to wait a week before the draw is on the air. Small cash rewards can be obtained on the spot; if you get the main prize, you will have to wait for the issuance of funds. True, there are cases when the winners who won a large amount of money were not given it immediately, but were paid out over several years. Can you count on a big prize like a car? It depends on the cost of lottery tickets.
- Circulation lotteries are divided into subtypes: you will either be asked to choose a combination of numbers yourself, or you will be given a ticket with certain numbers. Drawings are held live, which avoids fraud. There is also an online betting option, so you don't have to go to the kiosk.
What type to choose? There are chances anyway. This will be confirmed by Olga Andreeva, who won 200 thousand rubles. in an instant lottery, and Muscovite Alexander, who received 4 million rubles. in the draw.
According to the law, the organizers are obliged to wait for the winner's appeal within 180 days. If he did not appear, the money goes to the budget.
Which lottery wins the most
Do not want to take ticket after ticket at the box office and be left without prizes? Then consider a number of nuances:
- The entry price will be an important factor in determining the value of the grand prize. But it’s more realistic to get a small reward, so don’t buy a single ticket. If there is a choice, purchase 1 receipt for 200 rubles. or 2 for 100 rubles, bet on the quantity.
- The ability to independently determine the combination of numbers will allow you to influence the result.
Make a choice in favor of these options, and catch your luck. Although 5-10 participants in each draw receive large sums, there is a chance to be among them.
How to win big in the lottery
Skeptics who are sure of failure do not take into account that the facts testify against them. After all, the biggest lottery win in Russia occurred in 2017, when a 63-year-old woman became the owner of 506 million rubles. Do you want to receive a cash prize? Make adjustments for a number of subtleties.
Importance of the psychological factor
It is more real to influence the result when you buy tickets with the ability to choose a combination of numbers. It will not be possible to accurately predict what values will fall out during the draw. But if you choose the “unpopular” options, then if you win, the amount of cash reward will increase.
Psychologists say that people prefer certain numbers: 3, 7, 9, 12. Combinations of numbers less than 31 are also popular, as players subconsciously remember memorable dates. Pay attention to large values, and if you win, you will receive a large amount: the prize will not be divided among the lucky ones.
Systematicity of the high-circulation approach
According to the theory of probability, any tactic can be winning. Determine the combination of numbers and cross them out every time you buy a ticket. Perseverance and a systematic approach will yield results over time.
Benefits of Lottery Syndicates
People who won the lottery , did not always work alone. Find like-minded people, purchase game receipts to increase your chances of winning. It is important to agree: no matter whose ticket turns out to be treasured, the money will be divided in equal parts between the participants.
A similar syndicate won $315 million in the US lottery, but the scheme also works in Russia. It is only important to define the key rules:
- Don't borrow the money you need to buy draw receipts. Otherwise, disputes await you as to who owns the prize.
- Do not invite dishonest people to the syndicate. Explain the rules to new participants in advance, focusing on equal division.
Mutual trust will be the key to success, so gather a company of enthusiasts and get down to business. Invite optimists who believe in the best, because regularity is important for victory. But the method is controversial: some experts say that they spend money on buying tickets in order to win 100 rubles. and divided into 10 participants, unprofitable.
Expanded rate
Ready to invest to try your luck? Choose a detailed bet, because some types of lottery (“Gosloto”) allow you to mark more numbers for an additional fee. For example, if you buy a “5 out of 36” receipt, you can choose not 5, but 6 numbers. This will significantly affect the price, but also increase the number of possible combinations.
Distribution circulation
In addition to the usual circulations, there are distribution ones. With this type, the prize is divided among all those who entered the list of winners. For example, initially you should guess 6 numbers, but no one has reached the result. The prize in this case will be given to those who crossed out 5 winning numbers.
According to the current legislation, distribution draws are held at least once a year, provided that the jackpot has not been hit.
Determination of winning combinations
Luck remains the main factor, but players continue to invent their own tactics. There are even sites for selecting combinations on the net! I prefer to play by relying on my own decisions: if it was possible to determine the numbers online, the creators of the technique would use it. But it is still possible to increase the probability.
Some rules for choosing numbers
If you follow the statistics, you will notice that some numbers fall out more often than others. These include:
Is it possible to win the current lottery in Russia by indicating these numbers? Practice shows that with all the frequency, the probability of simultaneous dropping out of 6 digits from this list is small. However, the combination has no less chances than any other.
You are free to prefer the reverse tactic and bet on numbers that have not been drawn for a long time. At the moment it is 16, 20, 21 and 37 (according to the State Lottery).
An interesting fact: according to statistics, the “unlucky” number 13 falls out less often than other options.
A bit of math
To learn from the mistakes of others, listen to the opinions of experts. Mathematicians have calculated that it is not recommended to indicate only even or odd numbers: the probability of such a combination is 5%. Chances decrease if you choose 2-digit options ending in 1 digit (18-28-38).
Try to improvise, but cover all tens. Also, do not bet on a combination that has fallen out relatively recently: the chances that the numbers will repeat are small.
Tips from a multiple winner: Take advantage of someone else's experience
The rules by which the draws are held are essentially the same in different countries. For this reason, I follow the advice of the American Richard Lustig, who hit the jackpot 7 times in 2 years in different draws. The total amount was $ 2 million, which allowed Richard to pay off his debts and lay the foundation for further development. And to help other fans of the lottery, Lasting shared his secrets:
- To increase the chances, you need to buy more tickets. It is more profitable to make purchases online, as you will receive a discount. The disadvantages are that the costs often do not pay off.
- Do not select consecutive numbers.
- Don't play the most popular lottery, especially one known for big jackpots. Due to the hype, the number of participants is growing, and the chances are falling.
- Practice shows that in 70% of cases when the winner won a significant prize, the sum of the selected numbers fell into the range 104-176. Don't be lazy to add up the numbers!
- Do not use the services of sites for the selection of combinations. After all, they offer a new sequence every time, and to win you need to choose a series of numbers and use it constantly. You can change the combination only if you buy several tickets.
- Don't miss out on draws! Lustig insists persistence remains the key. Choose a lottery and buy a ticket every week.
Richard Lustig also set the main rule, because he emphasizes the importance of maintaining composure. It's easy to get carried away with lotteries, so set a maximum amount you're willing to spend in a month. It is forbidden to violate the framework, otherwise, in the end, the winnings will not cover the costs. Follow these rules to be lucky!
Types of Lotteries You Can Really Win: An Overview of Offers
Thanks to the Internet, users have the opportunity to participate in international prize draws. But domestic proposals have retained popularity: they are more affordable than foreign ones. What is the most winning lottery in Russia? Let's look at the popular options, noting their pros and cons.
Gosloto: 1700 mysterious millionaires
Gosloto was organized by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation. It is enough to guess 2 numbers to get a cash reward.
The history of the lottery began in 2008, and 1700 participants got serious winnings. But over time, the reliability of the game has fallen, due to the following factors:
- The organizers refused to broadcast the draws, posting the results on the website. They offer a video, but it only contains an animated image of the winning combination. As a result, the process lost transparency, which undermined confidence. The only exception was the “6 out of 36” form, since it meets the generally accepted requirements: the draw is held in the presence of studio guests, a lottery drum is used, third-party interference is excluded.
- How is the winner determined in Gosloto? Instead of a proven method, the organizers chose a random number generator. The principle of its operation, the level of protection against hacking or third-party connections remain a mystery.
- The decisive factor that raises doubts was the concealment of information about the winners. According to the rules, they have the right to remain anonymous. Although this is justified, over the past 7 years, only short interviews from the lucky ones have been published on the site. Then the winners disappeared forever, which naturally raised doubts.
- Draws are held several times a day, although the major world lotteries adhere to the “1-3 times a week” rule. The frequency is explained by the fact that due to the outflow of participants, the organizers squeeze money out of the remaining optimists to the maximum.
Although we can talk about additional disadvantages for a long time, the aspect with the opacity of the draw remains decisive. The only working option is considered to be a combination of live broadcast on television and the web version of the lottery machine. At the same time, spectators must be present in the hall, especially when it comes to the “main lottery of the Russian Federation”. Of the options offered by Gosloto, I advise you to participate only in the series “6 out of 36”.
The only distributor of lottery tickets in the Russian Federation is the monopolist - the Stoloto company.
Housing lottery: is the victory real?
“Housing Lottery” is intended for those who dream of winning an apartment. The drawing is held weekly (unlike the previous version), and the ticket price is fixed. You can purchase it in the following ways:
- on the site stoloto.ru;
- via SMS or mobile application;
- at the kiosk.
Tickets are supplied with a ready-made combination of numbers, so you can increase your chances of winning by purchasing a large number of receipts. In addition to apartments, participants are offered cash prizes.
The prize fund is drawn weekly, at a strictly defined time. You can watch the process on NTV or watch a video on YouTube. Live broadcasts reduce the likelihood of cheating, so if you want to try your luck, choose the Housing Lottery.
“Russian Lotto”: imperfect, but acceptable
Lottery drawings of “Russian Lotto” began in 1994. In the purchased ticket, you will see a ready-made combination of numbers, and during the drawing you will only have to cross out the matching values. In total, 3 rounds are held, followed by an additional one - “Kubyshka”. According to assurances, every 3rd ticket wins, although the size of the prize may be insignificant.
The advantages of the option include the fact that the process can be monitored in the broadcast:
Among the minuses, it is worth noting that the leader gets the kegs: compared to using a lottery drum, this increases the risk of falsifying the result.
“Sportloto Keno”: is it worth trusting
The promises from the organizers of Keno are eloquent: the participants are told about the opportunity to win a super prize of 10 million rubles. To do this, you need to buy a ticket, mark 1-10 numbers and check the results. If you make purchases using the Internet, you can click the "Automatic" button so that the combination drops out without your participation.
The disadvantages of the system include the fact that the winning numbers are determined using a random number generator. Such lotteries cannot be called reliable, reviews about them are mostly negative, so I do not recommend them for playing.
Frequently asked Questions
What else do you need to know in order not to make mistakes? Check out the answers to the most common questions!
Is it worth playing the lottery?
It is up to you to decide whether it is worth playing the lottery: you will be able to determine the ratio of profit and costs if you keep a spreadsheet in Excel. Consider the costs for the "Housing Lottery", "6 of 36" and other types separately to determine the most profitable.
Before making a decision, keep in mind that the “statehood” of the ongoing draws is an empty phrase. In fact, the rights were given to a private firm that won the tender. According to the law, its owner can supplement the name of the lotteries with the word “state”, but this is where the role of the state ends.
How fair is the lottery in Russia?
The honesty of the organizers can be judged by the following video:
Please note that on the segment 0.27, the decorative ball with the number 27 lies in the correct position. But at 1.36 the figure is already inverted: this indicates that the recording, given out as a live broadcast, was made in advance. Gosloto's assurances that the ball was accidentally moved are refuted by the following screen.
During the draw, the decorative ball is in the same place as at the beginning of the video
All in all, I think it's worth playing the lottery, just don't expect too much.
Can I play foreign lotteries?
The undeniably winning options were the Australian lotteries, until changes in the law restricted access to them. A VPN will allow you to bypass the blocking, but registration for residents of the Russian Federation will be closed. To resolve the issue, you can involve acquaintances abroad if you rely on their honesty: in the event of a large win, there is a risk that it will be appropriated.
What is the tax on winnings?
According to the legislation, residents of the Russian Federation must pay 13% tax on the amount received. For non-residents, a payment of 30% is provided.
What lottery is most often won in Russia?
The question is difficult to answer as recipients prefer to keep their details private. The schemes are finally losing transparency, and the statements on the distributor's website are questionable. According to official data, Gosloto participants most often win, but you will not see detailed information or stories about the fate of these people.
To increase your chances, do not believe stories that are not supported by facts, and choose lotteries where the winner is determined using a lottery machine.
What was the biggest win in the world?
The biggest win to date was $758.7 million, with the money going to a 53-year-old employee of the Springfield Medical Center. Mavis Wanchik, convinced of the reality of what was happening, immediately called her work and quit. Indeed, a month before the joyful event, she posted a post on Facebook, where she wrote: “I need a vacation. This means that I need to move and find a new job. Somewhere on the beach. Where there is a lot of rum.” Mavis' dream came true with the help of the American lottery Powerball.
How to find the right strategy and increase the chances of winning?
According to the reviews, both the participants who have developed a strategy and those who have chosen the numbers spontaneously can win. The main thing is that you do not fork out to buy books supposedly teaching special techniques, or software. The only one who wins with their help is the seller.
It will be possible to increase the chances if you buy a large number of tickets. But don't get too carried away! I will share my experience: I once spent 20 receipts to see if I could recoup the expenses. According to the distributor, every 3rd ticket should be a winner. As a result, the monetary reward was supposed to be in 2 receipts: the amounts did not exceed 80 rubles. To prevent the lottery craze from creating a hole in the budget, determine in advance how much to spend, and do not expect to recoup the expense.
What is the best day to buy lottery tickets?
Statistics show that the day of purchase has no effect on the probability of winning.
How to get a win?
Small cash rewards are issued at ticket sales points. You will receive more significant prizes at the offices of the company that conducted the draw.
Conclusion
Although the chances of hitting the jackpot are slim, participation in the lottery can be profitable. It is advisable to find a way and register with the Australian Tatts service, since the organization and conduct are not satisfactory. Russian schemes are not encouraging with transparency, and yet you can count on a small win.
