How to win the lottery? The soldier who does not dream of becoming a general is bad. To paraphrase, we get: “Everyone who has bought a lottery ticket wants to break big score". What are the chances of winning? And in general, does it make sense to buy tickets in the hope of winning? And the most main question that worries most players is whether there are strategies to increase their chances when playing. Read on and find out.
The biggest winnings in Russia and the world
First, let's see how much money people have won in the lottery here and abroad.
Breaking the big jackpot in the lottery is unlikely, but quite real. And a lot of “lucky ones” confirm this. Having received, by chance, several million, they immediately changed their way of life, reaching a fairly stable financial position that helped them live full life and not think about where and how to make money. It is these examples of winners that push the majority to buy lottery tickets in the hope of catching luck by the tail.
The biggest wins in Russia
So, who are they - lottery winners?
951 thousand in 2008 was won by a resident of Togliatti. According to him, he bought lottery tickets for 23 years. During this time he developed own strategy by guessing numbers. But strangely enough, the correct combination came to him in a dream. After receiving the winnings, he announced that he would continue to play the lottery.
A resident of a small village in the Kurgan region became richer by exactly a million. Luck smiled at him in January 2008. He instantly became the richest guy in the village and an enviable groom.
In 2011, the jackpot went to the Samara region. A 27-year-old resident who spent only 100 rubles on a purchase became richer by as much as 2.5 million. The money was spent on the purchase of real estate.
4 million - this is the amount won married couple from the Samara region. They spent all the money on a good cause - the construction of the church.
30 million resident of Ufa won on New Year's Eve - December 30, 2001. At that time it was the most big win in Russia. In total, 6 tickets were bought, one of which became lucky. Not only the whole of Ufa, but also the whole country learned about the record win. A lot of money that suddenly fell from the sky turned the family's head. Funds began to be spent thoughtlessly: alcohol, gambling, entertainment. As a result, after 10 years from the moment of winning, the family spent almost all the money and began to live almost as modestly as before the significant date.
35 million went to a resident of Moscow in 2009. A little more than 500 rubles were spent on tickets. The man used this money to set up a business in the village where he was from.
100 million rubles was won in 2009 by a resident of the suburbs of St. Petersburg Albert Bagrakyan. A native of Armenia, who emigrated to Russia in 2001, did not hide either his name or appearance. Moreover, 2 years after winning, he gave a detailed interview to the press - how much and on what he spent all his winnings.
The money was spent on the construction of a hotel, the purchase and decoration of several apartments, the purchase of premium cars (for myself and relatives). 2 million was donated to charity. Albert lent about 12 million to his friends. By the way, almost no one returned the debt to him. Well, the rest of the money went to pay taxes.
The winnings of 184 million went in February 2014 to a resident of Omsk. The man spent 810 rubles on a happy purchase. It is not known how his fate turned out, but he planned to leave to live in warmer climes, having bought a house on the seashore.
Most big win in the lottery in the history of Russia amounted to 358 million rubles. It happened during the drawing of the Gosloto draw in February 2016. The winner - a resident of Novosibirsk, for obvious reasons, decided not to advertise his identity.
The biggest lottery winnings in the world
The biggest wins in Russia are hundreds of millions. The situation is similar in the world, only the amounts here are calculated in dollars (euro, pounds). As a result, in absolute terms, winning the lottery in developed countries can bring the lucky ones 50-100 times more than in our country. The explanation is quite simple - the cost of lottery tickets abroad is many times higher and the circulation of sold lotteries exceeds Russian lotteries by dozens of times, so we get phenomenal prize funds.
- 425 million single-handedly went to a pensioner from California in 2014. It is noteworthy that for almost a month grandfather did not declare his victory to the organizers of the lottery. He showed up for the win on April 1, April Fool's Day, wearing a T-shirt in the style of " Star Wars with the inscription "May the luck of the Jedi be with me."
- $488 million were raffled among themselves by 3 participants in 2013
- $587 million in 2012. The prize fund was shared by 2 winners.
- 590 million went to a resident of Florida when drawing a jackpot in 2013. This is the largest win ever won by a single winner.
- $640 million in 2012. The prize was divided between 3 lucky ones.
The largest jackpot was drawn in 2016. The total amount was (and this is no joke) a mind-blowing $1.5 billion!!! It was divided between the three winners. Each received $528 million.
Money generator - what's inside
The lottery is a well-built business based on the desire of people to get rich quick and on simple mathematical statistics. The organizers of the lottery form prize fund from proceeds from ticket sales. Moreover, this amount is never equal to the proceeds from the sale. A certain part, usually half immediately goes to the current expenses(maintaining current activities, printing tickets, distribution, salaries to employees, advertising, etc.) and of course into the pocket of the organizers, in the form of net profit.
Gets only a part money goes for the draw. And if only half. In some lotteries, the share of raffled cash prizes is only 35-40% of all funds collected for the draw. The result is an initially unfavorable prospect for the participants. This is called a negative mathematical expectation. When the invested amounts are obviously greater than the total prize pool. It is on this that almost all gambling games are built. A striking example- roulette in the casino. But playing in a casino is more profitable than buying lottery tickets.
Simplified, the lottery can be represented as the following picture. 3 people invest 10,000 rubles each and want to play the received 30 thousand among themselves. The winner takes all. To do this, they invite an independent point guard. He takes 15,000 for his services. As a result, the “lucky one” will get only the remaining 15 thousand rubles. Silly, isn't it. But it is precisely the role of such an intermediary distributing winnings that the lottery, represented by its organizers, performs.
The only benefit is the cumulative jackpot, which can be rolled over into next draw gradually increasing in size. As a result, it can significantly exceed the amount of tickets sold in circulation.
Types of lotteries
From all the variety of possibilities presented at common man can blow the roof off. There are 2 simple tips here:
- Play only domestic lotteries in order not to go to another country to receive the winnings.
- Choose only the most popular draws. First, it is to talk about the honesty of the organizers. Secondly, they usually have a very solid prize pool.
Conventionally, all lotteries can be divided into 2 categories:
Instant
The most simple. The result can be seen immediately after buying a ticket. Information about winning (or not winning) is already indicated on the ticket. Just enough to erase protective layer. Small prizes, usually up to 3 - 5 thousand, can be received immediately without leaving the cash desk - at the place of purchase. For large events, please contact the organizers. There is only one drawback - this is the possibility of manipulating the prize fund by the organizer, namely, large winnings. Winning tickets may simply not go on sale or come in a smaller amount.
There is another nuance. The organizers, releasing tickets for sale, cannot determine in advance what percentage of the circulation will be sold: 100, 50 or only 20%. BUT prize tickets for a certain amount you need to print in advance. There are of course certain data based on past sales statistics. But in order not to get 10 million in the prize fund, and only 2 million worth of tickets sold and 3 million worth of winning tickets purchased, the organizers are insuring themselves by reducing the number and amount of winning tickets to a very modest figure.

- with the ability to play several games for free
The advantage is a fairly high probability of falling out lucky tickets. And although the size of such winnings is very small (usually 5-10 times the cost of a ticket), there are a lot of them.
Circulation
More popular than instant ones. They, in turn, are divided into 2 types. Some already have a printed set of numbers. For others, the participant is given the right to choose the combinations of numbers he likes. And although the probability of winning in both cases is the same, it is the latter that avid lovers of draws prefer when you can influence the results yourself (or so they think).
Chances of winning the lottery
Everyone who buys the coveted lottery ticket hopes to hit the jackpot. Well, at least win a large sum of money. What are the real chances of winning? What is the probability of winning the lottery?
If we take such popular lotteries like 5 out of 36 or 6 out of 45, then the probability of winning directly depends on the number of numbers in the draw. If the probability of guessing only 2 numbers is 1 to 8 in the 5 out of 36 lottery, then to get the main prize you need to guess all 5 numbers. And here the probability of choosing the right combinations is reduced by almost 50 thousand times and will be 1: 376,992.
The chances of winning in various lotteries depend on the number of guessed numbers and the range of numbers involved in the draw. Increasing just one number to draw the main prize immediately reduces the probability of winning by dozens of times.
A joke on the subject.
Old Abram in his prayers asked God every day:
God! Help me win the lottery!
A month, a year, 10 years have passed. And then one day, kneeling down to pray and asking for help, Abram heard the voice of God:
— Abram! Give me a chance! Buy a lottery ticket at least once!
Here is the math showing the odds of hitting winning combinations on the most popular lotteries.
5 out of 36
6 out of 45
7 out of 49
Turns out that greatest chance hit the jackpot in Gosloto "5 out of 36", but the prize fund here is the lowest of the above. The probability of winning the 7 out of 49 lottery is 230 times less, but the prize fund is also more significant.
In order to understand which lottery is the most profitable to play, you just need to calculate the probability of winning per one ruble invested.
On the this moment the following data is available:
We received the amount of winnings for each invested ruble. But the probability of hitting the jackpot is different for everyone. We need to equalize the odds of winning the top prize for all three lotteries. How to do it? Increase the amount of money invested in 2 other lotteries.
For example. If the chance of winning is 10% with a ticket price of 100 rubles, by spending 200 rubles and buying 2 tickets, we increase the probability of winning to 20%, with an investment of 300 rubles - up to 30%, and so on. Let's do the same with our examples.
The highest probability of winning in Gosloto is 5 out of 36 - 1: 376,922. Accordingly, we need to increase investments in other lotteries by buying more tickets, thereby leveling the probability for all three draws.
The result is the following data:
We got some pretty unexpected results. With the same probability of winning, the most profitable lottery turned out to be 5 out of 36. The difference with the last one (7 out of 49) is almost 230 times.
How to win the lottery - 5 effective tricks
Hundreds of studies have been conducted on the topic of increasing the likelihood of winning the lottery. Throughout the history of the existence of this type of draws, everything from ordinary players to scientists trying to find a winning system that allows you to get money guaranteed. Well, or at least significantly increase the chances of success. Thousands of different variations have been developed, from the simplest to the most complex, using the latest computer technology.
But as time has shown, to create profitable system impossible. Chance to win by choosing numbers according to your own algorithms and put in random order are the same. And it doesn't matter if you bought a lottery ticket for the first time in your life or have been playing for 20 years, everyone has the same chances.
The probability of being struck by lightning in a person is 1 in 600,000. This is dozens of times lower than the probability of hitting the jackpot. But people play.... and win!!!
However, do not rush to get upset. There are a number of tricks and tricks that allow you to gain some advantage over other players. You need to be clear right away. They will not affect the probability of winning in any way, they will not make it higher or lower. Everyone has the same chance. But you can achieve a significant increase in potential winnings for the same money spent.
When some people buy tickets for 100 rubles, hoping to win 5-10 thousand or even 30 million, you will have the opportunity to receive amounts 2-10-50 times higher with the same money.
Play against everyone
On the ticket, you need to choose the numbers that other participants use the least. The meaning of the strategy is that when winning combinations with popular numbers fall out, the prize is divided among several participants. It can be 2 and 100 and 1000 people. If a combination with unpopular numbers falls out, then a much smaller number of people will participate in the division. In some cases, the number of winning people can be reduced by dozens of times with one category of winnings. And it is better to divide the prize among 5 people than 50 or even 100.
What numbers to choose? Let's go from the opposite. The range from 1 to 31 is 70% more common than others. This is due to the habit of people to associate everything with significant dates, first of all, of course, this is a birthday: 12 months in a year, 31 days in a month, year of birth - numbers from 0 to 10.
Numbers 6 and 13 are considered bad.
Even numbers are chosen less frequently than odd numbers.
Another pattern is the choice by most people of numbers that are not next to each other on the ticket: neither horizontally nor vertically. According to the theory of probability, all numbers have exactly the same chance of falling out. Whether it's 1,2,3 or 5, 15,27,31, the system doesn't care.
Numbers from the first half of the ten (21, 33, 14) are chosen a little more often than from the last (28, 19, 29, 46).
By choosing unpopular numbers and combinations, you can increase the amount of potential winnings several times at once.
Increased Grand Prize
Another way to increase the chances of winning is to not play the jackpot. The amount increases with each draw and, accordingly, the amount of winnings for each invested ruble becomes higher. Therefore, in such circulations it is better to buy lottery tickets for a large amount.
Example. Every week you participate in the drawing of 5,000 million rubles by buying one ticket for 100 rubles. For several months Grand Prize was not drawn and amounted to 100,000 million rubles. Since the probability of winning in all draws is the same, but the amount of winnings has increased by 20 times, it is more expedient to buy not one, but several tickets each draw.
It is better not to buy tickets at all (and save up money) until the prize fund grows several times. And at the time of its strong increase on the accumulated money to buy 10-20-30 tickets at a time. After we decide on the lucky one, we again go into "hibernation" and save up money until the right moment.
Distribution circulation
If during the year, no one was able to win the main prize, then a distribution draw is held. This is required by law.
If main winner it was not determined again, then the entire jackpot is distributed among all participants who received any winning combinations in the appropriate proportion. Conventionally, if the prize fund was 50 million, and the main prize was 200,000 million, then real win each grows 5 times at once.
Experienced Players always participate in such draws. After all, this real chance get a lot more for the same money.
The same combination
Instead of constantly inventing new combinations of numbers with each new draw, you need to select the desired set for yourself in advance and use it in all further draws. And then it remains only to wait happy occasion. Experienced players can also analyze the archive of past wins and exclude all previously repeated combinations. And from the rest, choose the one you want. The probability of falling out the second time similar combinations is very unlikely, especially those consisting of 5-6 numbers.
Faith in luck
Is not scientific method rather psychological. But it’s not for nothing that they say: “Thoughts are material” or “To become a millionaire, you need to feel like a million.” There is an opinion that everything in the world is interconnected: thoughts, emotions, actions. And your behavior and attitude directly affect your life. There are many examples in life when the desires or fears of a person materialized. This is all very interestingly described in the movie "Secret". For those who haven't seen it, I recommend it.
Therefore, when buying lottery tickets, you don’t need to say to yourself: “I’ll lose, it’s not scary, the loss is not great. The ticket costs only 100 rubles.” Think positively, sincerely believe in luck and you will be happy.
A joke on the subject.
The teacher says: “Children, there is no God! Let's show him a fig in the sky! All the children show, one Moishe is not.
Teacher: "Moishe! Why don't you show?
Moishe: “Maria Ivanovna! If there is no God, then to whom then to show? And if it exists….. why show it then?”
Tax on winnings
Few people think about taxes when buying lottery tickets. And by the way - their timely payment is the duty of every citizen. At least that's how it is written in the tax code of Russia. To pay or not to pay, we will leave on the conscience of the “lucky ones” who received the winnings. But knowing for what and how much you need to pinch off your winnings in favor of the state will not hurt.
Absolutely all types of winnings are subject to taxation. But here they are divided into 2 types.
- Based on risk, sweepstakes and related to the direct costs of the participants. This is primarily about buying lottery tickets. All winnings received are taxed at a rate of 13%. And it does not matter how much you won: 100 million or 100 rubles.
- Incentive lotteries. These are raffles related to the promotion of their products. Usually held in shops, hypermarkets and large companies, in order to attract new customers and increase their confidence. Prizes are usually not money, but various gifts, vouchers and other goods. The whole thing is taxed already at a rate of as much as 35% of the value of the winnings.
The amount of winnings up to 4 thousand rubles is not subject to taxation. Also, this amount falls under the category of tax deductions and reduces the total amount of taxes. That is, for example, you won a phone for 10,000 rubles, then you need to pay a tax of 35% not with full amount, and reduced by 4 thousand. As a result, the tax will be 35% of 6,000 rubles - 2,100. And not 3,500 rubles.
How to pay tax?
There are only 2 options: lucky or unlucky.
Usually, lottery organizers are tax agents and transfer the necessary amounts to the budget for you. You get your winnings in your hands minus the tax withheld. In that case, you're in luck (if you didn't want to pay taxes, you're out of luck).
The second option is self-payment of money to the budget. To do this, you need to fill out a declaration, submit it to the tax office at the place of residence and, of course, transfer money to the budget.
Finally
Statistics say that everyone has an equal chance of winning. And affect the drop rate winning numbers impossible. The only leverage available to players is the ability to change the amount of potential winnings, when for the same money you can win much large sums than other players.
This is especially true for regular players who regularly buy lottery tickets and have some statistics on winnings. following simple advice will allow them to buy tickets at the right time, in more profitable lotteries and profitable circulations.
For example, if a player during the year, buying one ticket for 100 rubles every week, won a total of 3,000 rubles in small winnings, then using the tips above, it is quite possible to increase the amount of winnings several times at similar costs.
The priority rules are the choice of lotteries and draws with the highest winnings for each ruble invested, or the game against the crowd, choosing the most unpopular number combinations in the ticket.
Winning the lottery is a matter of luck. But no one forbade helping this very case. Moreover, there are several proven and, importantly, absolutely legal methods to increase your chances of winning. We share them.
Method number 1. Calculate the probability of winning
When choosing a lottery, a person evaluates two main parameters - the size of the super prize and the probability of winning. These values are in inverse relationship from each other: the greater the probability of winning, the smaller the super prize, and vice versa. The formula is simple: if the lottery is won often, then large super prizes do not have time to accumulate. Therefore, if the main thing for you is not participation, but victory, then choose lotteries with the highest probability of winning. For example, Rapido or Gosloto 5 out of 36.
Method #2. Circulation
Let's say you have your lucky numbers which have brought you good luck more than once in your life. And you are sure that sooner or later they will bring a big win in the lottery. Then you must:
- choose a lottery
- mark your favorite numbers;
- indicate the number of draws in which this combination should play;
- to buy a ticket.
This feature is called Multi-Circulation. When the same combination participates in several draws in a row.
Note: the "Multi-circulation" function is available only in those lotteries where the numbers are chosen by the participant himself.
Method number 3. Expanded rate
You can increase the chances of winning by increasing the number of minimum combinations in one field. This is called the "Expanded Bet". It sounds complicated, but we will explain everything now.
For example, you decide to take part in Gosloto 6 out of 45. To buy a ticket, you need to mark 6 numbers in the playing field. You can make a detailed bet and note more numbers– from 7 to 13, thus increasing the number of possible combinations in one draw.
Important! It is not possible to make detailed bets in all lotteries. The feature is available in:
- "Gosloto" 5 out of 36 "
- Gosloto 6 out of 45
- Gosloto 7 out of 49
- Gosloto 4 out of 20
- "Sportloto Matchball"
- "Rapido"
- "Prikup"
- "Duel"
Method number 4. Lottery Syndicate
is a group of people who buy lottery tickets together. In case one of the tickets wins, the prize is divided according to the contribution of each. Why are lottery syndicates more likely to win? Yes, because more people can buy more tickets for one circulation. More tickets means more chances. Everything ingenious is simple.
Method number 5. Distribution runs
Distribution draws increase your chances of winning bigger win. During distribution runs if no one managed to win the super prize, the entire amount or part of it is distributed among all winning tickets. Thanks to such draws, you can become a millionaire, even if you did not guess all the numbers. This often happens to the participants of Gosloto 7 out of 49.
Now you know everything about how to increase your chances of winning lotteries. And remember, our happiness is in our hands.
Many lottery lovers are asking quite a fair question how to win the lottery 5 out of 36. Before we try to answer these questions, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules and calculate the probability of winning the lottery 5 out of 36.
The Gosloto 5 out of 36 lottery can be called the smart choice of all the existing lotteries at the moment, since this lottery has the highest chances of winning the main prize.
Of course, when talking about the maximum odds, we must understand that this is a lottery and the chances of winning the main jackpot are not great.
Number of combinations in the lottery 5 out of 36
It would be logical to go to the facts and voice exact numbers. Number of lottery combinations 5 out of 36:
376992
three hundred seventy six nine hundred ninety two
and only one of them wins.
We wrote above that players in 5 out of 36 act reasonably - because compared to Gosloto lotteries 6 out of 45, here the chances of winning a super prize are almost 22 times greater!
Thinking how to win at Gosloto big prize– play 5 out of 36! Yes, this lottery does not accumulate a large jackpot, however, the chances of winning are much higher.
Probabilities in the lottery 5 out of 36
All probabilities of matching the number of numbers drawn are given in the table below:
| coincidences | Probability |
| 0 | |
| 1 | 1:3 |
| 2 | 1:9 |
| 3 | 1:82 |
| 4 | 1:2433 |
| 5 | 1:376992 |
How to calculate the winning combination 5 out of 36
Expanded system - in pursuit of a 100% jackpot win
A 100% chance of winning the lottery will be given only by an expanded system, which will include all 36 numbers, that is, a bet on all possible combinations. However, such a bet will not be possible and not reasonable for several reasons:
1. Restrictions on the rules. The number of selected numbers in the expanded bet, according to the lottery rules, does not exceed 11, it is impossible to place such a bet in which all numbers will be crossed out in one ticket.
2. Suppose that someone manually or automatically still decides to buy all possible combinations for the upcoming circulation.
With a ticket price of 80 rubles, this will require a very significant amount of 30,159,360 rubles.
Such a rate would be quite feasible if its economic component were logical. The Gosloto jackpot 5 out of 36 has never even come close to this amount, and will never even come close to this amount. Winning the jackpot at such a rate will of course be with a probability of 100%, but the amount of winnings on it will not cover the amount necessary to spend on the purchase of such a number of tickets.
Four deployed systems - in pursuit of winnings.
All 36 lottery numbers can be divided equally into four bags.
Each bag will contain 9 numbers. In total, five numbers fall out during the draw.
Accordingly, if the first four drawn numbers are in different bags, then the fifth number will be in one of the bags, which already has the dropped number. That is, whatever one may say, in the worst case, one of the bags will contain 2 winning numbers, which means it will be a winner.
Thus, in order to be guaranteed to win the lottery, you need to make 4 deployed systems in which all numbers will be involved.
The cost of four such bets with a ticket amount of 80 rubles will be equal to 40,320 rubles with a guaranteed win of 80 rubles.
It would seem that the economic feasibility of such a bet is also doubtful, but we must not forget that such a bet can also break the prize of a larger category, but here without any 100% guarantees.
Thus, the probability of matching three numbers in such a bet will be less than 30%, and the probability of winning the jackpot will be equal to the standard probability, as when buying 504 tickets with random combinations.
A few more game systems in Gosloto 5 of 36
Our program called Nostradamus tries to guess the winning combination of the next draw based on statistical analysis and other factors, forming only one combination.
Incomplete systems 5 out of 36 are the more cost-effective counterpart of deployed systems. Many players find this system the core of their game.
A balanced strategy subjects the dropped combinations to elementary mathematical analysis.
Output
The lottery remains a lottery - a gambling hobby that brings millions in winnings to a few winners. The article discusses some possible methods of winning and the theory of probability in the Gosloto 5 out of 36 lottery.

Multiple Win Lottery Winning System
To answer the questions posed, let's mention a very funny and well-known anecdote about how he lived, there was one peasant, did nothing, and all the time, without getting tired, asked God for help, so that he would help him become rich. When the time came for him to appear in another world, the angels who received him asked God why he did not help this unfortunate man win? To which the angels heard the answer: “I would help him, but if he took it and did at least something, for example, even if he went and bought a lottery, but he didn’t do it!”.
To some extent, this is what happens in most cases. This is especially true for those who want everyone to give him something, do something, and he does not even lift a finger. So it doesn't happen. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
For some reason, the majority thinks how wonderful it would be if you could take and win the lottery, and use the winning money to buy an expensive car or even new house. But, unfortunately, only a small part of those who dreamed go to the store.
After all, someone has remained to believe that you can win by a lucky chance, you just need to buy a ticket and wait until you're lucky. This part of gamblers believes in the patronage of Lady Luck. But some of them still believe that in order to win you need a strategy - you need to unravel lottery secret.
Richard Lusting lives in America. Richard won the lottery (took the top prize) seven times. The repeated lucky man even wrote a textbook where he posted all his lottery secrets- win-win game.
And they are as follows:
1. Work out the order of your lucky numbers among all the other numbers in the lottery. In his opinion, when playing any lottery, having your own numbers is necessary. This will definitely become a success in the game.
2. Only a serious approach to the lottery. That is, it must be treated on the same level as own work and buy a ticket systematically, but not to your detriment.
3. Follow the rules of the joint draw among your friends. In addition, Richard also advises making at least 10 bets per draw. It is for this reason that you should involve your acquaintances and friends in the draw.
The third point needs to be clarified. If your inner circle not very gambling and does not want to play lotteries, then this lottery secret for you to play in a syndicate. In previous articles, we have already talked about playing as part of a syndicate.
Klaus Joel's Secret
In his own way of playing, another American, Klaus Joel, also won a large amount. He has his lottery secret. It is he who believes that you can win only if you sincerely believe in the power of thought. It was he who recommended that players calculate the time interval between games and a few days before the game only do what to think about success in the lottery and winning. Represent victory in bright colors and with as many small details as possible. You should especially think about this at the time of buying a lucky lottery ticket number. At this moment, imaginary numbers will appear in your head, which should be noted on the ticket.
Lottery secrets
It follows from this that lucky numbers do exist. At the same time, for each person they are different, one might say individual with their own special combination. It is believed that such numbers include the numbers of one's own date of birth. The main thing in them is to understand which of the numbers of the date of birth will really bring good luck and profit, and only then can they be used in the purchased lottery ticket.
If you choose one of the proposed methods or come up with your own based on the information you read, stick to it for a long time, you will definitely win. At the same time, we must not forget that the lottery is only a fun pastime that brings only joy, and then success is inevitable.
Faith, aspiration and success, that's the key to good luck and win! This is the most efficient lottery secret.

Mathematical odds of winning
- Simple calculation with factorials
The most common lotteries in the world are luck games like "5 out of 36" and "6 out of 45". Calculate the chance of winning the lottery trite according to probability theory.
An example of calculating the possibility of obtaining a jackpot in the 5 out of 36 lottery:
It is necessary to divide the number of free cells by the number of possible combinations. That is, the first digit can be chosen from 36, the second from 35, the third from 34, and so on.
Therefore, here is the formula:
Number of possible combinations in a 5 out of 36 lottery = (36*35*34*33*32) / (1*2*3*4*5) = 376,992
The chance of winning is 1 in almost 400,000.
Let's do the same for the 6 to 45 lottery.
Number of possible combinations = "6 out of 45" = (45*44*43*42*41*40) / (1*2*3*4*5*6) = 9,774,072.
Accordingly, the chance of winning is almost 1 in 10 million.
- A bit about probability theory
According to the long-known theory, each ball in each next search has an absolutely equal chance of falling out compared to others.
But not everything is so simple, even according to the theory of probability. Let's take a closer look at the example of tossing a coin. The first time we hit heads, then the next time the probability of tails falling out is much higher. If the eagle fell out again, then next time we expect tails with even greater probability.
With the balls coming out of the lottery machines, the story is approximately the same, but somewhat more complicated and with a more significant number of variables. If one ball fell out 3 times, and the other - 10, then the probability of the first ball falling out will be higher than that of the second. It is worth noting that this law is diligently violated by the organizers of some lotteries, who change the lottery drums from time to time. In each new lottery drum, a new sequence appears.
Some other organizers use a separate lottery drum for each ball. Thus, it is necessary to calculate the probability of falling out of each ball in each individual lottery machine. On the one hand, this makes the task a little easier, on the other hand, it complicates it.
But this is just a theory of probability, which, as it turned out, does not really work. Let's see what are the secrets based on dry science and statistics accumulated over decades.
Why doesn't probability theory work?
- Non-ideal conditions
The first thing worth talking about is the calibration of loto drums. None of the lottery drums are perfectly calibrated.
The second caveat is that the diameters of the lottery balls are also not the same. Even the slightest difference of millimeters plays a role in the frequency of falling out of one or another ball.
The third detail is the different weight of the balls. Again, the difference may not seem significant at all, but it also affects the statistics, moreover, significantly.
- Sum of winning numbers
If we consider the statistics of the numbers that won the lottery like "6 out of 45", we can see interesting fact: The sum of the numbers that players have bet on varies between 126 and 167.
The sum of winning lottery numbers for "5 out of 36" is a slightly different story. Here the winning numbers add up to 83-106.
- Even or odd?
What do you think are the most common numbers in winning tickets? Even? Odd? I will tell you with full confidence that in the lotteries "6 out of 45" these numbers are equally divided.
But what about "5 out of 36"? After all, you need to choose only 5 balls, even and odd cannot be an equal number. So. After analyzing the results of lotteries of this type of four recent decades, I can say that it is insignificant, but still more often, in winning combinations odd numbers appear. Especially those that contain the number 6 or 9. For example, 19, 29, 39, 69 and so on.
- Popular number groups
For a lottery like “6 to 45”, we conditionally divide the numbers into 2 groups - from 1 to 22 and from 23 to 45. It should be noted that in the winning tickets the ratio of numbers belonging to the group is 2 to 4. That is, either the ticket will have 2 numbers from the group from 1 to 22 and 4 numbers from the group from 23 to 45 or vice versa (4 numbers from the first group and 2 from the second).
I came to a similar conclusion when analyzing lottery statistics like "5 out of 36". Only in this case groups are broken up a little differently. Let's designate the first group, which includes numbers from 1 to 17, and the second - the one where the remaining numbers from 18 to 35 are placed. The ratio of numbers from the first group to the second in winning combinations in 48% of cases is 3 to 2, and in 52 % of cases - on the contrary, 2 to 3.
- Should I bet on numbers from past draws?
It has been proven that in 86% of cases, the number that was already in previous draws is repeated in the new draw. Therefore, it is simply necessary to follow the draws of the lottery you are interested in.
- consecutive numbers. To choose or not to choose?
The chance of getting 3 consecutive numbers at once is very low, less than 0.09%. And if you want to bet on 5 or 6 consecutive numbers at once, there is practically no chance. So choose different numbers.
- Numbers with a single step: win or lose?
You should not bet on numbers that go in the same sequence. For example, it is definitely not necessary to choose step 2 and make a bet with this step. 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 is definitely a losing hand.
- More than one ticket: yes or no?
It is better to play once every 10 weeks for 10 tickets than once a week for one. Also play in groups. You can win a big cash prize and share it among several people.
World Lottery Statistics

Winner stories
- Lucky compatriots
Evgeny Sidorov from Moscow received 35 million in 2009, before that Nadezhda Mekhametzyanova from Ufa hit the jackpot of 30 million. " Russian loto” sent another 29.5 million to Omsk to the winner, who did not want to name himself. In general, hitting jackpots is a good habit of Russian people
- 390 million US dollars in one hand
In the Mega Millions lottery, which we have already talked about, a lucky winner, who wished to remain anonymous, won 390 million US dollars. And this is far from rare. In the same lottery in 2011, two people managed to hit the jackpot at once, which at that time consisted of an amount of 380 million. The cash prize was divided into two parts and awarded to people who guessed the winning numbers.
A retiree from South Carolina decided to participate in the Powerball lottery and won 260 million, which he decided to spend on the education of his children, and also bought a house, several cars for the family, and then went on a trip.
conclusions
So, here is a summary of the most effective rules, following which you will definitely win:
- The sum of all the numbers you bet on in a lottery ticket must be calculated using the following formula:
Sum = ((1 + n)/2)*z + 2 +/- 12%
n is the maximum bet number, for example, 36 in a 5 out of 36 lottery
z is the number of balls you are betting on, e.g. 5 for the 5 out of 36 lottery
That is, for "5 out of 36" the sum will be:
((1+36)/2)*5 + 2 +/-12% = 18,5*5+2 +/-12% = 94,5 +/-12%
In this case, from 94.5 + 12% to 94.5 - 12%, that is, from 83 to 106.
- Bet equally on even and odd numbers.
- Divide all numbers by two large groups in half. The ratio of the number of hit numbers in winning ticket equals 1 to 2 or 2 to 1.
- Follow the statistics and bet on those numbers that fell out in previous draws.
- Don't bet on numbers with one step.
- It is better to play less often, but buy several tickets at once, and also get together with friends and relatives.
In general, bolder! Follow my rules, bet, analyze statistics and win!
