What kind of lottery tickets are there now? How to win more in instant lotteries. Lotteries you can actually win

Is it possible to win the lottery and how to do it? Which lotteries are more profitable to play? As life practice shows, winning the lottery is an event that can happen to any person.

Good day, dear readers of the business magazine HeatherBober.ru. Alexander Berezhnov and Vitaly Tsyganok are with you.

Having won some local lotteries and “smart casinos” ourselves, we generalized the topic of winning the lottery, talked with friends who regularly make good money in this business and presented our vision of this issue.

You don't have to have it to win higher education, being the son of rich parents or graduating from school with a gold medal. To win, you only need luck and faith in your own luck. It is faith that makes a person buy 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 gambling enthusiasts - read our article about working methods and profitable technologies for playing the lottery, as well as about the largest winnings in history.

1. Is it possible to win the lottery and what should you know to do so?

Skeptics believe that only lottery organizers are the winners; optimists believe that Sportloto, Gosloto and other popular lotteries - real way achieve true financial well-being.

Let’s say right away that it is, of course, possible to win the lottery, and everyone who plays has a chance of winning 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 distance that is the main obstacle on the path of ordinary players to the desired wealth. In other words, a fair amount of time may pass from the moment you expect to win until you actually win. You can play the lottery for a day, a month, a year, ten years - and the probability of winning will always be approximately the same.

In this 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 happy Days and numbers, rabbit's feet and rituals. Many films, books and television shows are 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 own strength and healthy optimism - conditions that work more likely to be a plus than a minus. A person who believes in luck is more likely to be right than a hopeless pessimist.

Nowadays they have become very popular online lotteries, which are almost no different from the “paper” and offline lotteries we are used to.

EuroMillions is a Friday lottery game played by players across Europe. The game features players from nine countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United States.
The prize consists of bets placed in each of these nine countries and main win starts from 15 million euros. If the jackpot is not won within a week, the prize will roll over to the next week.
The largest recorded winnings per person was 115 million euros, and the largest big jackpot– 183 million euros. These huge jackpots turned EuroMillions lottery into one of the most successful and exciting lotteries in the world.

5. Examples of people with the biggest winnings in lottery history
There are a great many examples of people who received the biggest and biggest winnings in the lottery. If there are jackpots, then there are people who win them periodically.
Meet the biggest winnings in the history of world and domestic lotteries.
Among domestic lotteries, the podium is occupied by Albert Begrakyan, who hit the Gosloto jackpot in the amount of 100 million rubles in 2009.
The lucky guy bought lottery tickets regularly. Before winning, Albert worked as a security guard in a store.
The luckiest “foreign” lottery players to date are the Messners from New Jersey and Georgia truck driver Ed Nabors.
It was these people who equally divided the $390 million jackpot of the Mega Millions lottery in 2007.
In Europe, the largest win is 185 million euros in the EuroMillions lottery: another one received the prize in 2011 married couple(Kristen and Colin).

Hello all friends. I’m in touch again, Sergey Ivanisov.

Why are people interested in this question?

Let's start with the main thing. Where could people even come up with such a question? Maybe they are just wondering which lottery has the best chance of winning. Or maybe they doubt the fairness of certain lotteries?

If the first question can be answered using a calculator, simply by analyzing the probability, then the second can only be answered with extensive experience working with various lotteries.

It just so happens that I have this experience, because I already wrote whole line articles on this topic and played more than a thousand times in all possible lotteries.

Comparing state and foreign lotteries

Surely many of you are wondering why I am making this comparison. I will answer, yes, because all of our lotteries, with the exception of one, are conducted in a dubious manner, which I will talk about later.

The same goes for foreign lotteries, only here the drawing takes place completely differently.

Today we will compare who conducts draws more honestly and who deserves more trust. This will allow us to determine the lotteries that are more likely to win.

Is Gosloto a scam?

So, the analysis will begin with our state lotteries, and the website where they are all held:.

First, let's look at these two videos:

You can't see how the lottery machine chooses

Personally, this is the only reason for me not to play our lotteries. I consider it the main and only one.

We are talking about the process of drawing lotteries, which takes place using a “special generator” random numbers" Here's what they write about him on the site itself:

Random number generator (RNG) is a hardware and software complex that is used to determine the winners of lotteries.
The RNG is built on noise diodes and ensures random selection of winners.
Operating principle. The device generates a continuous stream of random noise, which is converted into numbers. In favor this moment time, the current values are snatched from the stream, which are the winning combination. To conduct the drawings, two RNGs were purchased - the main one and the backup one. The backup device can only be used in case of problems with the main one. Both devices are certified (the certificate is valid for 3 years).

But the question is, why shouldn’t an office that receives billions of rubles annually hold these draws with a real lottery machine and a real presenter? Is there really not enough money to pay salaries?

If we take into account the fact that Stoloto has information about all the combinations used, then, willy-nilly, doubts arise that the organizers can somehow force the RNG to produce numbers that no one used. Moreover, we do not even know whether this generator is always used for operation. Maybe he's just standing there for beauty's sake?

That's all I don't know. There would be broadcasts from real people and a lottery drum, then it would be impossible to argue.

Especially considering the level of today's technology. It would be possible to launch some kind of live broadcast and people would not have any questions.

It is worth noting that the exception is. Here the draws take place every Sunday at 8:20 on the NTV channel.

A large number of player complaints

I have a phone with version Android 7, and it has already happened that, unwillingly, I am shown news on topics in which I am interested. Among these topics, there are often various articles about lotteries.

Why am I saying this? Moreover, in just a few months, I have already read about 3-5 articles about how this site deceives people. They don’t want to give their winnings to someone, they tell someone that there was an error on the site and their ticket is not actually a winning one, and so on.

To be honest, I don’t really believe in this; people can say a lot if they are constantly unlucky. But after reading these stories, I really don’t want to for a long time play. It’s like seeing an accident on the road and then not speeding for another week.

In general, there are complaints, and they are also worth paying attention to.

By the way, perhaps the same thing happens with foreign lotteries, I just wasn’t notified about it.

Monopolization

What other lotteries do you know of ours, besides those on the stoloto website? That's right, I don't know either, even if they exist.

What does this mean? The fact that Stoloto can behave as he wants, and we will still continue to play, because we have no choice. They are already doing things that are causing waves of indignation from players:

Take, for example, changing the frequency of drawings to 5 out of 36. Five times a day! Tell me, do you think this is normal? Look at their foreign counterparts, circulations take place no more than once a week, after all, this is not .
But what if you pay attention to how long the “super prizes” began to linger. After all, they are the ones that attract more and more players. Accident? Don't think))
It is also worth paying attention to the fact that absolutely all sites with foreign lotteries are blocked. On what basis? Maybe there's something I don't know?

I am sure that among the readers of this article there will be people who can add a few more items to my list. We would be grateful if you share them in the comments.

Where are the winners?

Why even in our news do I see information that people win in foreign lotteries crazy amounts of half a billion dollars. The winners are shown and interviewed. Moreover, the winners are shown even more often on foreign channels.

But the question is, where are our winners? Where are the people who won more than 100 million rubles? There was one man back in 2009:

I've never seen anything like them again. This is strange to me. Although I myself would under no circumstances reveal my identity if I won.

Video investigation

More recently, a video clip appeared on YouTube, where the author proves that Stoloto is cheating:

Conclusions on Gosloto

I would not like to demonize Stoloto; I myself would really like everything to be as open as possible here. After all, even in fair conditions, the probability of winning is negligible, let alone the current ones.

It is also worth noting that most of the reasons not to trust Stoloto are just guesses and have no real basis.

Foreign lotteries

What do I know about foreign lotteries?

The most popular of them, for example, Mega-millions, Euromillions, conduct drawings live on TV;
Draws take place once a week;
Hundreds of winners are shown on TV.

This fact in itself eliminates any guesses about fraud on the part of the organizers, which means there is much more trust in them.

Not long ago we already talked about the opportunity and mentioned the most striking winnings in history.

Which lottery wins most often?

According to research, almost 60% of all world lotteries are scams. Therefore, it is worth considering only major lotteries, where there are many participants and there are real winners.

Let's take the most popular Stoloto lottery “5 out of 36” and “6 out of 45” as an example. Where they play for up to 100 million rubles, but what is the chance of hitting the jackpot?

Based on last year's calculations, the chance to pull happy ticket in lottery 5 out of 36 will be - 0.09210%. And 6 out of 45 is approximately 0.001995%.

Well, the chance of simply drawing a ticket that will pay off is 30.17%. It turns out that every 3rd ticket is a winner.

What is the most profitable lottery to play?

Now let's move on to the companies that conduct lotteries. One way or another in different lotteries different percentage of winners. And we are interested in which lottery people win more often than others.

Therefore, we will make a small top best lotteries in Russia, where money is most often won.

In the end, we want to conclude that it is practically impossible to win more than 100 rubles in the lottery with one ticket. But the more tickets he purchases, the faster his chances grow.

Lottery is one of the most popular gambling, in which it is possible to win a large sum money and expensive clothing prizes. The conduct of lotteries in Russia is regulated at the legislative level, so participants can count on the honesty of accredited organizers.

Below you will find tips on choosing the type of lottery, ways to increase your chances of winning, a list of popular Russian lotteries, as well as a rating of the biggest winnings.

Which type of lottery is better to choose?

Lotteries may differ in how they are conducted. Based on this feature, there are two types:

Draw lottery- the prize fund is drawn between all participants, and the game is played at a time after the sale of lottery tickets for a certain date and time. According to Russian legislation, during the drawing, only one piece of equipment is allowed to be used to determine the winning combination of numbers or symbols - in order to avoid fraud.
No-draw lottery(instant) - information for determining winnings is included in tickets at the time of their creation. You can find out the result immediately after purchasing a game card by erasing the protective coating under which there are hidden characters. Their combination determines the absence or presence of winnings, as well as its size.

When choosing a type, you should consider some features:

IN draw lotteries often the prize fund is larger. As a rule, the participant has the opportunity to independently choose the combination that, in his opinion, will be winning. In this case, you will have to wait for the drawing to take place.
In non-draw lotteries, the winnings are smaller, but, according to statistics, people win them more often. Another advantage is that the result can be found out instantly.

Domestic lotteries, of course, are inferior in terms of jackpot size to their foreign counterparts. But this does not mean that you should not believe in fate, especially since anyone can buy a Russian ticket; it is inexpensive. In our country there is a large network of sales points and the possibility of online purchasing has been launched. In addition, PR companies continue to advertise the chance for big win.

You can see a large number of offers on advertising banners on the Internet. But should you trust tempting offers? Experienced players It is advised to purchase tickets only in official points. To really win, give preference to trusted dealers and sites, for example, the Russian Stoloto lottery has been tested for years.

Points of sale:

newsstands;
Sberbank branches;
shopping centers.

Of course, these are not all available options, but try to purchase tickets from trusted outlets with a decent reputation and extensive experience.

Lottery 6/45

A ticket with a significant name 6 out of 45 is a Russian lottery with the largest jackpot at the moment. This is confirmed by the monitoring commission, which conducted a large-scale study of all lotteries that operate in our country. To become a winner, you need to guess a combination of 6 drawn during live broadcast numbers You can watch the game and try your luck every day at 10 pm Moscow time. The Russian lottery "Gosloto" in 2014 gave a resident of Omsk the opportunity to start new life. The man hit the jackpot with a face value of 184 million rubles.

Lottery 5/36

The commission decided that 5/36 has the most fair rules, if we consider Russian lotteries. Victory goes to the one who guesses 5 numbers out of 36 possible options. This ticket is worth keeping an eye on for the impatient who can't wait for the drawing to begin, as they delight their viewers twice a day with live drawings.

Lottery 7/49

After analyzing the situation, you can understand that 7/49 occupies the second place of honor in the rating of “Russian lotteries with the most big win" The principle of this option is no different from the previous ones. You need to guess 7 numbers out of 49 offered. An additional advantage is the ability to continue the game by expanding the boundaries to a combination of twelve numbers. If the player managed to guess at least three, four, five or six numbers, he receives a prize. The organizers spend about 50% of all money from bets on the game to pay for these combinations.

Golden Key

We continue to consider popular Russian lotteries. Russian lotto or, as it says official name, “Golden Key” will be remembered by all TV viewers on long years. Especially the mustachioed, good-natured guy who has been giving away apartments left and right for the past 12 years.

Central channels are happy to broadcast sweepstakes. At first the program was shown by ORT, then we had to make room and change Channel One to RTR. In addition to apartments, players have the opportunity to win cash prizes or cars. The meaning of the game is similar to regular lotto. You need to cross out one of the rows faster than the others. If we consider the best Russian lotteries, then “Golden Key” is considered the oldest existing today. According to unconfirmed media reports, the organizer and main sponsor of the game is the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation.

Lotto "Million"

All Russian lotteries take the idea from similar overseas ones. He was no exception and managed to gain a foothold in the domestic market due to interesting system. By purchasing one lottery ticket, you can try your luck over several rounds of the drawing. If fortune is really on your side today and you win in two rounds, the winnings are summed up. This system, although complex, is very loved by the audience and allows you to be in blissful tension throughout the entire game. To win the jackpot, you must cross out all 25 numbers in 25 moves in both fields.

First national lottery

Russian lotteries with the biggest winnings are headed by the First national lottery. According to 2016 data, it occupies a leading position in people's trust. This is not surprising, since this program was created specifically to restore trust in the sweepstakes that the state organized in the early 2000s. If you believe official statistics, then the First National Lottery allows 25 thousand people to win in just one round of the game. The organizers spend 60 percent of bets on payments, which is 10 percent more than in the rest. Established rules for increasing payouts increase the possibility of winning.

Housing lottery

You can even try your luck online, on the Stoloto website. State Russian lotteries allow you to win an apartment or a large sum of money. Housing lottery ideal for those who dream of their own living space. The tickets have two fields, each of which has three rows, each with five numbers. By playing this lottery, you have the opportunity to become the owner of a one-, two- or three-room apartment. More recently, the organizers experienced unfavorable times, but today the situation on the housing market has stabilized.

Winning combinations:

collect a combination of the dropped numbers in one line faster than anyone else;
collect all the numbers of one field first;
collect all the numbers in two fields.

Everyone whose tickets contain at least one missing number loses. Most often, there are three to four uncovered numbers left on the card.

Lottery "Golden Horseshoe"

Another lottery that has state support, is " golden horseshoe", it is broadcast on the NTV channel on Sundays at 8:15 Moscow time. With the support of the Ministry of Sports, she has a large number of fans of similar rules and principles of Russian lotto.

The famous presenter maintains his image and is already remembered by the audience for his good-natured smile and catchphrases. Please note that tickets must be purchased before 16:00 Moscow time one day before the broadcast, more precisely until Saturday. The intrigue lies in the constantly growing jackpot. The Golden Horseshoe leads Russian lotteries with large prize pools because the number of ticket buyers is at a record level. Simple rules games and propaganda on television do their job.

If we look at the rules of the game, we can see a striking similarity with ordinary Russian lotto. You must cross out one line to receive the minimum prize. Then one completely crossed out field wins, then the winner is the one who crossed out all the numbers in two fields before the others.

If you carefully study the reviews about the “Golden Horseshoe”, you can note their positive orientation. A big advantage in buying this ticket is the low price - about 50 rubles. The second significant factor is the transparency of tours. Russian lotteries, reviews of which are carefully studied by the organizers, are usually held online to eliminate the possibility of fraud and prevent rumors about dishonest rounds. Analysts claim that there is no basis for rigging the results of this lottery; the fact is that the Ministry of Sports receives 50 percent of the sales of all tickets, and this is an impressive amount. The remaining 50 percent goes to the prize fund.

However, in the reviews you can also find a negative note, for example, issuing winnings can be difficult and take quite a long time. In some cases, winners had to wait up to two weeks. The organizers reassure players that everyone will receive winnings; the problem lies in accounting delays when transferring large sums of money. Government funding requires a certain amount of time, which is already limited. Preparation of reports, transfer of money to the organizer and delivery of prizes to points of issue - all this takes from one to two weeks. If you win a prize of one million rubles, you will have to visit the central office; others can pick up prizes at sales points.

Instant lottery from Sberbank

For thrill-seekers, there is another way to test your luck. Russians allow you to look into the eyes of fortune without leaving their office. The only thing you need to do is buy a ticket at one of the ticket offices of any branch, regardless of your region of residence. The price of the ticket is indicated on its front side; on the back you can familiarize yourself with the rules for holding and issuing prizes.

Choose any ticket you like and remove the protective film to find out the amount of your winnings. If you become the owner of an amount less than a thousand, you will receive it instantly in the same bank branch; if more, then read on back side information on where to go to claim your winnings, detailed description work and actions. If you have any questions, you can contact the operators using the phone numbers and email listed on the back.

The advantage of such a lottery is the real chance of winning a prize. After all, the option of fraud is excluded; you independently choose a ticket that can bring you good luck. Funds received from bets are used to form the prize fund. The representative office of the Ministry of Finance assures that certain part The money received from the sale goes to charitable and social funds, supporting socially significant projects. One of them was the Olympics held in Sochi and ticket prices range from 20 to 100 rubles. By buying a ticket, you can expect to become richer by an amount from twenty rubles to ten million.

Sometimes Sberbank holds draws under its own name. Thus, in honor of Victory Day, a lottery was created under the leadership of Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The money received was transferred to support veterans of the Great Patriotic War and on the installation of monuments that will remind us of the Great Victory of our people. The cost of the ticket ranged from thirty to the winnings - from 30 rubles to 400 thousand.

A similar idea was supported by another lottery, which was held with the aim of developing society and helping nature. To support the environment, you could buy a ticket for 50 rubles, and to recreate cultural heritage and youth development, you could spend 20 rubles. And get the opportunity to win up to five hundred and two hundred thousand rubles, respectively.

The most winning Russian lotteries

Russian lotteries with large prize pools allow you to win large amounts, but, of course, with a certain amount of luck. Experienced players carefully monitor draws where the chance of getting the coveted amount is higher. The leader in terms of winnings is Gosloto. There is great intrigue here until the very end. In addition, the number of winners is a record for all existing official lotteries in Russia. Officially confirmed information states that three players (since 2009) have already won the jackpot total amount about 140 million rubles.

The second largest number of winning players is Bingo. This lottery allows you to justify the purchased ticket, and sometimes brings stunning amounts. Most shining example- an unemployed resident of Ufa who managed to take about 30 million Russian rubles from the game fund.

Third place goes to Russian Lotto, which has one of the largest prize funds. However, it is worth noting that the largest win in history is 29.5 million. But this does not exclude the possibility of breaking this record and getting into the history of the development of Russian Lotto.

Despite the large number negative reviews about Russian Lotteries Railways, she made it to the TOP winning lotteries. Played significant role something that, in fact, does not require knowledge, waiting morning broadcast and finding a point of sale. Once you buy your tickets on the train, you can only wait for the draw that takes place at the end of each month. Most big win amounted to 11.5 million. Interestingly, the lucky winner completely forgot about his purchase. They searched for him for two weeks, but they were still able to find him and give him the treasured fortune. The second largest prize went to a resident of Kemerovo. By an incredible coincidence, the search for the winner took longer - about two months.

The most famous winners and their fate

Not everyone can rationally manage the wealth that accidentally falls on their head. A family from Ufa, who spontaneously bought a lottery ticket, became its winner and received 29 million rubles. It would seem that now their lives will change in better side and will start with clean slate. However, wealth turned the heads of the lucky ones, and they decided to celebrate this event. The spree dragged on for five years. True, they didn’t spend all the money on drinking; they used some of it to buy two apartments in the city center. The rest was distributed to friends, their loans were paid off and wasted. In 2006, a woman died from poverty and health undermined by alcohol.

Moscow locksmith Evgeniy Sidorov managed to spend his winnings of 35 million wisely. Once he bought it for only 560 rubles. The man admits that he never had much hope for Russian state lotteries. With this money he went to his native village and opened a carp farm. With the rest of the money, he repaired the road, built a house and now lives for his own pleasure.

In 2013, a lucky guy from Voronezh was able to ruin Russian lotteries for 47 million 300 thousand. Interestingly, the rate did not exceed 120 rubles. The man decided to fulfill the wishes of his family and friends. He made his dreams come true until all the money ran out. He used the remaining amount to renovate his apartment. When asked why he didn’t radically change his life, the man replied that he believes in second chances and will certainly win again.

In 2009, a resident Leningrad region hit the jackpot by guessing a 6-digit combination out of 45 options. Gosloto 6/45 changed the whole life of the lucky one. At that moment, when fortune turned to face him, he was living in a rented apartment and running several food stalls.

After he was given his legitimate winnings, the man bought several apartments in the central part of St. Petersburg, an expensive premium car and invested the money in the construction of a hotel in the Krasnodar Territory. In addition, he carved out more than 10 million for friends and acquaintances. Today, he is prohibited from traveling abroad, since he has not paid taxes from his winnings, amounting to almost 4.5 million. Some of the property was seized by bailiffs, but the man is not giving up his position and is not going to pay the money. From a conversation with him, it is clear that he regrets this allocation of the budget. If we could turn back time, he and his family would go to the USA.

It was not possible to find out the name of another lucky one. In 2014, a resident of Omsk became the owner of an amount of 184.5 million rubles. He spent about 800 on tickets and never expected to win. For a long time they could not find him to give back the winnings. It later turned out that such a shock caused stress to the man, as a result of which he locked himself at home and did not talk to anyone. Surprisingly, the lucky winner turned out to be very modest and asked not to publish his name. He plans to spend the winnings on a house by the sea.

Fabulous jackpots in Russian lotteries are rare, but the most big jackpot managed to disrupt Mikhail from Nizhny Novgorod at the end of 2014. He managed to take more than 200 million rubles. He paid about 700 rubles for the tickets. He successfully manages to hide his millionaire status from friends and family. Only his name and city are known; there was no other information about him in the media.
