To significantly increase your chances of winning, play with a spread bet

An expanded bet is a bet that contains more than one combination of numbers on one playing field. For example: by choosing 6 numbers in Gosloto “5 out of 36”, you get 6 minimum combinations in one playing field, and by choosing 7 numbers, you get all 21.
The cost of such a choice will be higher. What is the benefit? If you guess at least 2 numbers in such a bet, you will win not 40 rubles, but 4 times more, 160 rubles. And if you guess 5 numbers at once, 20,000 rubles will be added to your super prize! So, a spread bet not only increases your chances of guessing the entire winning combination, it also increases the amount of any winnings you make.

How are winnings calculated on spread bets?

The easiest way is to look at the example of 2 guessed numbers.
Suppose you marked 6 numbers on the playing field: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. From them you can make 6 different combinations of 5 numbers. If two numbers match your combination in the draw - for example, 2 and 3, then they will appear in 4 combinations at once, and for each of them you will be awarded winnings.
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 6
1 2 3 5 6
1 2 4 5 6
1 3 4 5 6
2 3 4 5 6

Participation in distribution draws increases your chances of winning

A distribution draw is a draw in which the accumulated sum of the super prize is divided among all the winners of the draw.

By decision of the lottery organizer, distribution draws may be held more frequently.

Draw results statistics ― interesting tool which will help you win more often

When you want to justify the choice of numbers with facts and not with feelings, use circulation statistics. How to get it? Write it down in a notebook (or save it in a separate file) winning combinations each of the circulations. Experienced lottery fans keep track of the number of times each number appears in a draw and keep statistics on the number of even and odd, “hot” and “cold” numbers. In addition, there are interesting statistics on counting runs in which balls appear in succession or numbers that for some reason often appear in pairs.

On the website, you can use automated statistics for each game on the pages of the circulation archives (for example, statistics for “Gosloto “5 out of 36”). But the most interesting things about statistics can be found in the “Numbers” section of your personal account! There are also numbers that were brought to you personally more money, and the combination that brought the maximum win in the history of the game, and the opportunity to make a bet from the numbers that you liked in different sections of personal and general statistics.

A multiplier is an option that allows you to increase your winnings several times over.

The ability to use the multiplier exists in the daily games "" and "". The multiplier number is the number of identical bets that will be accepted per draw, and the number of identical fixed winnings that you will receive in case of the desired match. The value of the bet increases accordingly. For example, in “Keno-Sportloto” you can increase the amount of potential winnings by 10 times, and in “Top-3” - by 100 times.

In the history of the KENO-Sportloto game, the largest win was recorded - 550,000 rubles. The participant managed to win this amount using a multiplier of 10 and a combination of 10 numbers - 9 numbers matched. And if he had guessed all 10 numbers, he would have won 10,000,000 rubles!

The maximum winnings in the “Top 3” without using a multiplier is 5,000 rubles. With a multiplier you can grow it up to 500,000 rubles! And combining a not very large multiplier with identical combinations in several receipts, you can win even more. This happened in the 1540th draw, where two participants made more than 10 bets with a multiplier of 10, each of which included a combination of 1, 5, 4. As a result, each of them!

So if you feel confident in your numbers, give them 10 or even 100 times the odds.

How to win the lottery? A bad soldier is one who does not dream of becoming a general. To paraphrase we get: “Everyone who buys a lottery ticket dreams of winning big jackpot" What are the chances of winning? And in general, is there any point in buying tickets in the hope of winning? And the most main question What worries most players is whether there are strategies to increase their chances when playing. Read on and find out everything.

The biggest winnings in Russia and the world

First, let's look at how much money people have won in lotteries here and abroad.

Winning a big jackpot in the lottery is unlikely, but quite realistic. And many “lucky ones” are proof of this. Having received several million by chance, they immediately changed their lifestyle, achieving a fairly stable financial situation which helped them live life to the fullest and not think about where and how to make money. It is these examples of winners that push most people to buy lottery tickets in the hope of catching luck by the tail.

The biggest winnings in Russia

So, who are these lottery winners?

951 thousand in 2008 was won by a resident of Tolyatti. According to him, he has been buying lottery tickets for 23 years. During this time, he developed his own strategy for guessing numbers. But strangely enough, the right combination came to him in a dream. After receiving the winnings, he said that he would continue to play lotteries.

A resident of a small village in the Kurgan region has become exactly a million richer. Luck smiled on him in January 2008. He instantly became the richest guy in the village and eligible bachelor.

In 2011, the jackpot went to the Samara region. A 27-year-old resident, having spent only 100 rubles on a purchase, became richer by as much as 2.5 million. The money was spent on purchasing real estate.

4 million - that’s exactly the amount she won married couple from Samara region. They spent all the money on a good cause - building a church.

A resident of Ufa won 30 million on New Year's Eve - December 30, 2001. At that time it was the largest win in Russia. A total of 6 tickets were purchased, one of which became lucky. Not only the whole of Ufa, but also the country learned about the record winnings. A heap of money that unexpectedly fell from the sky turned the family's head. Funds began to be spent thoughtlessly: alcohol, gambling, entertainment. As a result, 10 years after 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 Moscow resident in 2009. A little more than 500 rubles were spent on tickets. The man used this money to start a business in the village where he was from.

Albert Bagrakyan, a resident of a St. Petersburg suburb, won 100 million rubles in 2009. A native of Armenia who emigrated to Russia in 2001, he did not hide 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 building a hotel, purchasing and finishing several apartments, and purchasing 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 to a resident of Omsk in February 2014. The man spent 810 rubles on a lucky purchase. It is unknown how his fate turned out, but he planned to go to live in warmer climes, having bought a house on the seashore.

The largest lottery win in Russian history was 358 million rubles. This happened during 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 winnings in Russia are hundreds of millions. The situation is similar in the world, only the amounts here are calculated in dollars (euros, pounds). As a result, in absolute numbers, winning a lottery in developed countries can bring lucky people 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 out lotteries is tens of times higher than in Russia, so we get phenomenal prize funds.

425 million went to a California pensioner in 2014. It is noteworthy that the grandfather did not tell the lottery organizers about his victory for almost a whole month. He showed up to claim his winnings on April Fool's Day, April 1, wearing a Star Wars-themed T-shirt with the inscription "May the luck of the Jedi be with me."
$488 million was played among 3 participants in 2013.
$587 million in 2012. The prize fund was shared by 2 winners.
590 million went to a Florida resident in the 2013 jackpot drawing. This is the largest win that went to one winner.
$640 million in 2012. The winnings were divided between 3 lucky winners.

The largest jackpot was won in 2016. The total amount was (and this is not a joke) a mind-blowing 1.5 billion dollars!!! It was shared among three winners. Each received $528 million.

Money generator - what's inside

The lottery is a clearly structured business based on people’s desire to get rich quickly and on simple mathematical statistics. The lottery organizers form prize fund from the proceeds from ticket sales. Moreover, this amount is never equal to the proceeds from the sale. Certain part, usually half immediately goes to current expenses (maintaining current activities, ticket printing, distribution, employee salaries, advertising and others) and of course into the pocket of the organizers, in the form of net profit.

It turns out that only part of the money goes to the drawing. And if only half. In some lotteries, the share of cash prizes drawn is only 35-40% of all funds collected during the draw. The result is an initially unfavorable prospect for the participants. This is called negative mathematical expectation. When the invested amounts are obviously greater than the total prize fund. This is exactly what almost all gambling games are built on. A striking example- roulette in a 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 30 thousand received among themselves. Winner takes all. To do this, they invite an independent point guard. For his services, he takes 15 thousand for himself. As a result, the “lucky” person will only get the remaining 15 thousand rubles. It's stupid, isn't it? But it is the role of such an intermediary, distributing winnings, that is performed by the lottery, represented by its organizers.

The only advantage is the accumulative jackpot, which can go into next draw, gradually increasing in size. As a result, it can significantly exceed the amount of tickets sold in the circulation.

Types of lotteries

From all the variety of possibilities presented at common man could blow the roof off. There are 2 simple tips here:

Play only domestic lotteries so as not to go to another country to receive your winnings.
Select only the most popular draws. Firstly, this is to talk about the honesty of the organizers. Secondly, they usually have a very substantial prize fund.

Conventionally, all lotteries can be divided into 2 categories:

Instant

The simplest ones. The result can be seen immediately after purchasing 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 obtained immediately without leaving the cash register - at the point of purchase. For large ones you need to contact the organizers. There is only one drawback - the possibility of manipulation of the prize fund by the organizer, namely large winnings. Winning tickets may simply not go on sale or may be available in smaller quantities.

There is another nuance. Organizers, when releasing tickets for sale, cannot accurately determine in advance what percentage of the circulation will be sold: 100, 50 or just 20%. And prize tickets for a certain amount must be printed in advance. There are, of course, certain data based on past sales statistics. But so that it doesn’t turn out that the prize fund in the circulation was 10 million, and only 2 million worth of tickets were sold and purchased winning tickets was 3 million, the organizers are hedging their bets by reducing the number and amount of winning tickets to a very modest figure.

The advantage is a fairly high probability of loss happy tickets. And although the size of such winnings is very small (usually 5-10 times the cost of the ticket), there are a lot of them.

circulation

More popular compared to instant ones. They, in turn, are divided into 2 types. Some already have a set of numbers printed on them. In others, the participant is given the right to choose his favorite combinations of numbers. And although the probability of winning in both cases is the same, it is the latter that is preferred by avid fans of practical jokes, when you can influence the results yourself (or so they think).

Chances of winning the lottery

Everyone who buys a coveted lottery ticket hopes to hit the jackpot. Well then at least win a large sum money. What are the real chances of winning? What is the probability of winning the lottery?

If you take such popular lotteries as 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 matching just 2 numbers is 1 in 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 decreases by almost 50 thousand times and amounts to 1: 376,992.

The chances of winning in various lotteries depend on the number of numbers guessed and the range of numbers participating in the drawing. Increasing just one number for the main prize draw immediately reduces the probability of winning by tens of times.

An anecdote on topic.
Old Abram asked God every day in his prayers:
God! Help me win the lottery!
A month, a year, 10 years 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's the math showing the odds of getting winning combinations for the most popular lotteries.

5 out of 36

6 out of 45

7 of 49

It 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 most profitable to play, you just need to calculate the probability of winning per invested ruble.

On 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 chances of winning the main 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 5 out of 36 is 1: 376,922. Accordingly, we need to increase investments in other lotteries by purchasing more tickets, thereby leveling the probability for all three draws.

The result was the following data:

The results were quite unexpected. With the same probability of winning, the most profitable lottery turned out to be 5 out of 36. The difference from 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 drawings, everyone, from ordinary players to scientists, has been trying to find a winning system that allows them to receive guaranteed money. Well, or at least significantly increase the chances of success. Thousands of different variations have been developed, from simple to the most complex, using the latest computer technology.

But as time has shown, it is impossible to create a profitable system. The chances of winning by choosing numbers using your own algorithms and those placed in random order are the same. And it doesn’t matter whether 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 a person being hit by lightning is 1 in 600,000. This is tens 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 techniques and tricks that allow you to gain some advantage over other players. We need to make a reservation 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 chances. 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, with the same money you will be able to get amounts 2 - 10 - 50 times higher.

Game 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 appear, the prize is divided between several participants. It could be 2, 100 or 1000 people. If a combination with unpopular numbers comes up, then a much smaller number of people will participate in the division. In some cases, the number of people winning can be reduced tens of times with one winning category. And it is better to divide the prize among 5 people than among 50 or even 100.

What numbers to choose? Let's go from the opposite. The range from 1 to 31 occurs 70% more often than others. This is due to the habit of people to associate everything with significant dates, first of all, this is, of course, the birthday: 12 months in a year, 31 days in a month, year of birth - numbers from 0 to 10.

The numbers 6 and 13 are considered bad.

Even numbers are chosen less frequently than odd numbers.

Another pattern is that most people choose numbers that are not next to each other on the ticket: neither horizontally nor vertically. According to probability theory, all numbers have exactly the same chance of being drawn. Whether it’s 1,2,3 or 5, 15,27,31, the system doesn’t care.

Numbers from the first half of ten (21, 33, 14) are chosen a little more often than from the last half (28, 19, 29, 46).

By choosing unpopular numbers and combinations, you can increase the size of your potential winnings several times at once.

Increased main prize

Another way to increase your chances of winning is to not win the jackpot. The amount increases with each draw and, accordingly, the amount of winnings for each invested ruble becomes higher. Therefore, in such draws it is better to buy lottery tickets for a larger amount.

Example. Every week you participate in a drawing of 5,000 million rubles by buying one ticket for 100 rubles. In a few months Grand Prize was not played and amounted to 100,000 million rubles. Since the probability of winning in all draws is the same, but the winning amount has increased 20 times, it is more advisable to buy not one, but several tickets each draw.

It is better not to buy tickets at all (and save money) until the prize fund increases several times. And at the moment of its strong increase, use the accumulated money to buy 10-20-30 tickets at a time. After the lucky one is decided, we go into “hibernation” again and save 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 the main winner is still undecided, 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 gain everyone grows 5 times at once.

Experienced players always participate in such circulations. After all, this is a real chance to get much more for the same money.

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 future draws. And then all that remains is to wait happy occasion. Experienced players can also analyze the archive of past winnings and eliminate all previously repeated combinations. And from the remaining ones, choose the one you need. The probability of getting similar combinations a second time is very unlikely, especially those consisting of 5-6 digits.

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 a person’s desires or fears materialized. This is all very interestingly described in the film “The Secret”. For those who haven't seen it, I recommend watching it.

Therefore, when buying lottery tickets, you don’t need to say to yourself: “I’ll lose, it’s not scary, it’s not a big loss. The ticket costs only 100 rubles.” Think positively, sincerely believe in luck and you will be happy.

An anecdote on topic.
The teacher says: “Children, there is no God! Let's show him the sky!” All the children show, only Moishe is missing.
Teacher: “Moishe! Why don't you show it?
Moisha: “Marya Ivanovna! If there is no God, then who should we show it to? And if it exists…..why show it then?”

Tax on winnings

Few people think about taxes when buying lottery tickets. And by the way, timely payment is the responsibility of every citizen. At least that's what it says in tax code Russia. We will leave it up to the “lucky” ones who received the winnings to pay or not to pay. But it doesn’t hurt to know why and how much you need to pinch off from your winnings in favor of the state.

Absolutely all types of winnings are subject to taxation. But here they are divided into 2 types.

Risk-based, betting and associated with direct costs to participants. We are talking here primarily about buying lottery tickets. All winnings received are taxed at a rate of 13%. And it doesn’t matter what amount you won: 100 million or 100 rubles.
Incentive lotteries. These are sweepstakes related to the promotion of their products. Usually carried out in shops, hypermarkets and large companies, in order to attract new customers and increase their trust. The prizes are usually not money, but various gifts, trips and other goods. This whole thing is taxed at a rate of as much as 35% of the value of the winnings.

Winnings up to 4 thousand rubles are not subject to taxation. This amount also falls under the category tax deductions and reduces the total amount of taxes. That is, for example, you won a phone for 10,000 rubles, then a tax of 35% must be paid not on the full amount, but on a reduced amount of 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 themselves transfer the necessary amounts to the budget for you. You receive your winnings minus the withheld tax. In this case, you are lucky (if you did not want to pay taxes, then you are unlucky).

The second option is to pay money to the budget yourself. To do this, you need to fill out a declaration, submit it to the tax office at your place of residence and, of course, transfer the money to the budget.

Finally

Statistics say that everyone has an equal chance of winning. And influence the probability of falling out winning numbers impossible. The only leverage available to players is the ability to change the size of the potential winnings, when for the same money you can win much more large amounts than other players.

This is especially true for regular players who regularly buy lottery tickets and have some statistics on winnings. Following simple tips will allow them to buy tickets to right time, in more profitable lotteries and profitable circulations.

For example, if a player over the course of a year, buying one ticket every week for 100 rubles, in total won 3,000 rubles in small winnings, then using the above tips, it is quite possible to increase the winning amount several times at similar costs.

The priority rules are the selection of lotteries and draws with biggest win for every ruble invested, or playing against the crowd, choosing the most unpopular combinations of numbers on the ticket.

Thoughts about a fabulous amount of money that can be obtained without much effort visit each of us. Big win in a casino, an unexpected inheritance, a failure in the banking system, and ultimately the discovery of a treasure... the boundaries of human imagination are limitless. But isn’t it easier to go the other way: stop dreaming and start participating in lotteries. You can read below about the chances of getting rich in this way, and which lottery you can actually win.

Cash giveaways: how it all began

Gambling was strictly prohibited in the Soviet Union. The taboo remained until February 1969, and already in March of the same year, the chairman of the USSR Sports Committee had the idea to hold Olympic Games. The leadership of the CPSU liked this proposal.

To prepare for sports battles, we began to look for additional means:

Sportloto 6 of 49. First cash lottery Soviet Union. According to the rules of the game, 50% of the proceeds went to pay out winnings, and the state kept 50% for itself. Each number, and a total of 49 balls were involved in the drawing, was assigned a specific sport. So ordinary excitement turned into a humane mission;
Sportloto 5 of 36. Having studied the world practice of holding lotteries, the country has new format drawing - Sportloto 5 out of 36. If you compare the draws new game with his “big brother”, we can state the following pattern: the size of the main prize is more modest, but you could win small amounts, and for this you need to guess only 3 numbers, it was possible more often;
Sprint. Instant lottery. By tearing the control spine, you could find out the result right on the spot. This lottery enjoyed particular success among Soviet citizens;
Sports forecast. 17 years have passed since the first draw of Sportloto, which happened in the fall of 1970. An analogue of foreign bookmakers appears in the country - Sportprognoz. From the list of matches presented, the sports fan had to guess the outcome - a victory for the first team, a draw, or a triumph for the visiting team.

The country's leadership was stunned financial success. Excitement Soviet man broke all records - for received cash not only the 1980 Olympics were financed, but also many modern sports complexes were built.

What is the most winning lottery in Russia?

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the family of lotteries in Russia is only growing. If you do not take into account certain features of each of them, you can figure out which lotteries the most profitable:

“Gosloto “6 out of 45”. The largest national winnings belong to this giant - in August 2014, a resident Nizhny Novgorod became the happy owner of an amount exceeding 200 million rubles;
“Gosloto “5 out of 36”. The circulation of this lottery can rightfully be called the “forge of the rich.” With a relatively small contribution, any citizen of our country can become a millionaire;
“Gosloto “7 out of 49”. The chances of conquering the main peak of this lottery are small, but minimum bid 20 rubles and a guaranteed cash prize if you win 50 million rubles, do their job - the draws are incredibly successful.

Unlike Soviet times, circulations are made several times a day, and availability electronic money and access to the Internet, allow you to check “Lady Luck” without leaving your home.

Which lottery has the best chance of winning?

Playing state lotteries, a person is faced with a difficult dilemma - to choose frequent wins with a relatively small prize, or set a goal to hit a stunning jackpot. Let's talk about lotteries in which it will be easier for a player to win a cash prize:

“Gosloto “4 out of 20”. The probability is 1 in 3.4. On two fields consisting of 20 cells, you need to mark 4 numbers (8 in total), and guess only 3. For example, by guessing one number in the first field, and two in the second, the player will become the owner of 100 rubles;
“Gosloto “6 out of 45”. The probability is 1 in 7. Everything is simple here - from the 45 cells presented to the player, you should guess 6. The minimum win starts with two guessed numbers;
“Gosloto “5 out of 36”. The probability is 1 in 8. The rules of the game are similar to “Gosloto “6 out of 45”. The difference in the chances of winning the main prize: the probability of guessing 6 out of 45 numbers is 1 in 8,000,000, and 5 out of 36 is 1 in 376,000.

The above three give the player a good chance of winning. To succeed, you need to regularly participate in sweepstakes, and consistency will definitely return in the form of a cash prize.

The chances of winning the average lottery for each player, frankly, are small. But there are lucky ones who win big prizes several times and even share their theories of guaranteed winnings. Not all equations can be explained logically, but they are nevertheless confirmed by the positive experience of the players.

We are in website We decided to collect the most interesting tips and tell you how you can increase your chances of winning. And at the end we will reveal the secret of what the probability of your winning will be if you decide to take part in the drawing.

1. Numbers that are drawn most often

Watching lottery draws, analyst Soo Kim came to the conclusion that the number 20 ball most often comes out of the lottery machine. It is followed in terms of frequency of appearance by balls with numbers 37, 2, 31 and 35.

At the same time, the most frequent ball drawn in the bonus round was the number 42 . Kim is confident that by betting on these numbers, you will increase your chances of winning.

2. Increase chances without increasing costs

Investor Stefan Mandel has won major lottery prizes a whopping 14 times. His strategy is simple: buy as many tickets as you can afford. But Mandel could initially afford such an investment. But an ordinary player is unlikely to have the opportunity to buy back immediately a large number of tickets.

In this case, you can gather a community of people you trust and together periodically invest money in purchasing tickets.

3. To avoid sharing your winnings

But not everyone wants to share their winnings (and there is such a possibility, even if you play outside the community). To avoid sharing the winnings with other lottery participants if you are lucky, try avoid the numbers that people use most often.

These numbers can easily be associated with dates that mean something to someone. Therefore, in order not to miss, mark the numbers after 31.

4. Don't be afraid of lotteries with a large number of participants

Novice players believe that there is no need to try to win a lottery in which a large number of tickets are involved (after all, the fewer participants, the more likely). This opinion is erroneous, since the probability of winning does not change depending on the number of players(unless we are talking about special drawings, where balls with ticket numbers are not removed from the drum).

By the way, lotteries with big amount participants, on the contrary, are distinguished by a relatively large number of prizes and more significant winnings.

5. Keep an eye on your tickets

There are plenty of lottery winners in the world who don't even know their status. For example, Jimmy Smith, an elderly man from the United States, won $24 million and did not know it. Smith realized that he had won only 2 days before the expiration of the period allotted for receiving the money. Fortunately, all this time the ticket remained intact in the man’s shirt pocket.

The reality is that not everyone checks their tickets. Therefore, if you do not want to lose money, after the purchase lottery ticket don't forget to check it.

6. Don't trust cashiers

Be especially careful if you check your ticket through a cashier, otherwise you may end up in the same situation as the lucky one. The man bought a ticket in a supermarket and checked it through a special machine. Realizing that he had won a million, Figueroa turned to the cashier to double-check the data.

The cashier took the ticket and disappeared for 20 minutes, after which he returned and stated that he did not win the ticket. But Carlos already knew about his winnings thanks to the machine. In addition, the cashier brought a completely different ticket.

The man made a fuss and proved he was right. Experts say that's his case let's see what are the real chances of winning the jackpot today.

It has been scientifically proven that the chances of matching the numbers drawn from the lottery machine and the numbers written on the ticket are extremely small. And to be more precise:

the probability of winning a lottery in which you need to guess 6 numbers that will come out of the lottery machine before the drawing is 1 to 13,983,816;
The probability of winning the lottery with a ticket where you need to cross out the number field is 1 to almost 175,000,000.

Therefore, participation in the lottery should not be your only hope for solving all your problems.
