There are many different kinds of lotteries in our country. One of the most popular is Gosloto, organized in 2008.

However, correctly crossing out all 7 numbers on a ticket is, of course, still more difficult than 5 or 6. So, for example, the probability of guessing all the numbers in the “5 out of 36” lottery is 1/376992, in the “6 out of 45” lottery - 1/ 8145060. In “7 out of 49” there is only one chance of winning in 85,900,585 cases.

Video about the Gosloto lottery 7 of 49

The number drop frequency graph in the draw archive shows the actual number of drops of each ball in the lottery machine for the entire duration of the game. This chart will be applicable to any of the circulation archives selected in the menu above, for example, 5 out of 36, 6 out of 45, or the Gosloto circulation archive 7 out of 49.
In a tabular version and in more detail, you can familiarize yourself with the frequency of numbers appearing within the frequency analysis service.




Graph "Number of numbers drawn."

This graph shows how many times the sums of combination numbers were drawn in the circulation archives.
In order to understand how the number of times the sums of numbers appear is calculated, let’s turn to any of the fragments of the archive of draws 5 out of 36 ( see explanation and picture below).
Circulation No. 7222, the numbers came out: 15, 33, 21, 36, 18 .
Let's calculate the sum of the numbers of this combination: 15+33+21+36+18 = 123 , And
circulation No. 7231, the numbers came out: 18, 24, 34, 11, 36 .
Let's calculate the sum of the numbers of this combination: 18+24+34+11+36 = 123 .
As you can see, these have absolutely different combinations the sum of the numbers is the same - 123. It follows that during the period of the games from draw No. 7222 to draw No. 7231, the sum of numbers 123 appeared only 2 times, this is the number of sums of numbers.
If we close this help and find this sum of numbers (123) on our chart along the horizontal axis, then we will be convinced that for the entire duration of the game this amount fell out much large quantity once. At the time of writing this certificate, this amount appeared 61 times (draws No. 1 to No. 7254) in the archive of circulations 5 out of 36. If you select other archives of circulations in the menu, for example, 6 out of 45 or 7 out of 49, then the graph will be built specifically for these circulations archives.


Using this graph, you can identify more promising ones that are growing in terms of the number of times the sum of numbers appears. This, in turn, during further analysis will help us to weed out a huge number of combinations that are unlikely to occur, and to create combinations whose number sums are more promising in terms of the probability of bets appearing in the near future.

Number of number sums drawn
from 1 to 9499 circulation (for the entire duration of the game).

Table and graph "Frequency of even and odd numbers".

These tables and graphs will allow us to see how many combinations with a certain number of even and odd numbers in combinations occurred during the entire period of the game.
Let’s say that most rarely, as practice shows, combinations consisting only of all even numbers or of Not even numbers. For example, in the archive of circulations 5 out of 36 the following combinations are present. Circulation No. 7112, numbers: 11, 13, 25, 15, 33 (even numbers = 0 , odd numbers = 5 ), falling combinations of this format are summarized in the first line of our table in the column “Total combinations dropped”. And also vice versa:
Circulation No. 7141, numbers: 32, 16, 12, 8, 20 (even numbers = 5 , odd numbers = 0 ), dropping combinations of this format are summarized in the last line of our table in the column “Total combinations dropped”.
Combinations of this format appear extremely rarely and with a large number of drops ahead of other combination options, so when composing combinations for your bets, you can safely weed them out. Another thing is that there are the most promising combinations for a high probability of occurrence, consisting of 2 even and 3 odd numbers or vice versa,
consisting of 3 even and 2 odd, respectively, for the archive of circulations 5 out of 36.
In order to get results for other circulation archives, in the menu above you need to select the circulation archive you are interested in, for example 6 out of 45 or 7 out of 49.
To make the examples clearer, there is a graph below the table that fully demonstrates the results of the tabular data.

Table "When was the last time a ball fell out."

In this table, we can see in numbers the last time the ball number was drawn in a particular archive of Gosloto draws. Such information is also quite valuable when choosing numbers for a future bet.
There is a maximum probability that the number that is sufficient for a long time did not fall out, it will definitely fall out and from circulation to circulation it will begin to gain momentum in the number of dropouts.

So let's give a description of the columns of this table.

Column "Ball number" is clear, it displays the ball number from 1 to 36 for the Gosloto lottery 5 out of 36, from 1 to 45 for the Gosloto lottery 6 out of 45 and from 1 to 49 for the Gosloto lottery 7 out of 49. This is our input data.
Column "Circles ago", the most valuable, it is by this column that the results of all other columns are sorted. In this column you can see how many draws ago the number we are interested in came out. The result - “in the current draw” means that the balls fell out in the draw that was just held.
results in the "Number of drops" column show the frequency of occurrence, that is, how many times the ball number has appeared in draws over the entire existence of the game.
In the column "Circulation No." The number of the draw in which the ball number participated is displayed.
In the "Combination" column The draw combination in which the ball number fell is shown.
In the Date and Time column we see the date and time of past draws.

When was the last time a ball fell out (during the entire game).

In this column we can see the total number of times during the entire period of the game or for a separate period of time, depending on the settings, the number continuously appeared from draw to draw. It is by this column that all table results are sorted in descending order.
Data in the column " Last time dropped in a row (number of runs)" show how many times a certain number was last continuously drawn from circulation to circulation.
Column "Last consecutive appearance in draws" complements the previous column and shows the very numbers of the draws in which the ball number fell out recently or for the last time in a row from draw to draw.
Column "Last consecutive draws occurred back" allows you to see how many runs ago the ball number fell out and then was no longer repeated from run to run.
Column "Maximum consecutive hits (number of runs)" shows the most greatest number runs in which the ball number appeared continuously from run to run.
Column "Maximum consecutive occurrences in circulations" complements the previous column and shows the same circulation numbers in which maximum amount the number of the ball fell out one time in a row from draw to draw.

The numbers of balls falling out in a row from one draw to another.

Shown are the results for the last 20 draws from 9479 to 9499 draws.

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 a lottery ticket.

Some lucky people need to buy a lottery ticket only once to win, others buy lotteries regularly (sometimes for several years in a row) until they finally receive a reward for patience and perseverance.

These questions are of interest to many - not only avid players and 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.

Examples of people who received the largest and big wins to the lottery, a great many. 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).

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 the majority 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 decorating 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.

Most big win the lottery in the history of Russia amounted to 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.

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 the prize fund from cash proceeds from tickets sold. 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. It's called negative expected value. 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 precisely 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:

  1. Play only domestic lotteries so as not to go to another country to receive your winnings.
  2. 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 big 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’s 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 again go into “hibernation” and save money until the right moment.

Distribution circulation

If during the year no one was able to win the main prize, then distribution circulation. 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 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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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 total amount 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 the largest winnings for each invested ruble, or playing against the crowd, choosing the most unpopular combinations of numbers on the ticket.
