The youngest of the Gosloto lotteries - 4 out of 20 seems to be gaining in popularity. And all thanks to its very attractive features: a multi-million dollar super prize, 20 other winning categories and an overall increased prize fund - 67% from the proceeds from each ticket sold.
The chances of winning a super prize in Gosloto are 4 out of 20 - 1 in 23,474,025. The overall probability of winning is estimated as 1 to 3.4.
Game Features
The lottery uses the so-called “double matrix”. That is, to place a bet, you must select numbers in two playing fields at once. Essentially it's (4 out of 20) x 2.
The minimum lottery combination is 4 numbers in the range from 1 to 20 in the first field and 4 numbers from 1 to 20 in the second field. Ticket price - from 100 rubles.
Super prize and 21 chances to win
The minimum guaranteed super prize of the lottery is 10,000,000 rubles. A multimillionaire will be the one who matches four numbers in the first playing field and four in the second.
Total in the lottery. To win, just guess 2 numbers in any of the fields!
Chances of winning
As noted, the overall chance of winning the lottery is high and is regarded as 1 to 3.6. This is higher than, for example, in the Gosloto 5 out of 36 and Gosloto 6 out of 45 lotteries.
Moreover, the probability of winning a super prize is 4 times higher than in the Gosloto 7 out of 49 lottery!
To increase your already good chances of winning in the “four”, you can make a spread bet. To do this, just mark 5 numbers in one of the fields.
The maximum possible expanded bet is 5 numbers in one field and 12 numbers in the other. Once you do it, you will immediately receive 2475 lottery combinations.
But the most rational way to play is to use
Hello!
My name is Ivan Melnikov! I am a graduate of the National Technical University “KhPI”, Faculty of Engineering and Physics, specialty “Applied Mathematics”, a happy family man and just a fan of games of chance. Since childhood, I have been interested in lotteries. I have always wondered by what laws certain balls fall out. Since I was 10 years old, I have been recording lottery results and then analyzing the data.
Sincerely,
Ivan Melnikov.
Mathematical odds of winning
- Simple calculation with factorials
The most common lotteries in the world are games of luck such as “5 out of 36” and “6 out of 45”. Let's calculate the chance of winning the lottery using probability theory.
An example of calculating the possibility of receiving a jackpot in the “5 out of 36” lottery:
It is necessary to divide the number of free cells by the number of possible combinations. That is, the first digit can be selected from 36, the second from 35, the third from 34, and so on.
Therefore, here is the formula:
Number of possible combinations in a “5 out of 36” lottery = (36*35*34*33*32) / (1*2*3*4*5) = 376,992
The chance of winning is 1 in almost 400,000.
Let's do the same for a lottery like 6 in 45.
Number of possible combinations = “6 out of 45” = (45*44*43*42*41*40) / (1*2*3*4*5*6) = 9,774,072.
Accordingly, the chance of winning is almost 1 in 10 million.
- A little about probability theory
According to a long-known theory, each ball in each subsequent search has an absolutely equal chance of falling out compared to the others.
But not everything is so simple, even according to probability theory. Let's take a closer look at the example of tossing a coin. The first time we got heads, then the next time the probability of getting tails is much higher. If heads come up again, then next time we expect tails with even greater probability.
With the balls coming out of the lottery machines, it's about the same story, but a little more complicated and with a more significant number of variables. If one ball is drawn 3 times and the other is drawn 10 times, then the probability of the first ball being drawn will be higher than that of the second. It is worth noting that this law is diligently violated by the organizers of some lotteries, which change lottery machines from time to time. A new sequence appears in each new lottery machine.
Some organizers also use a separate lottery machine for each ball. Thus, it is necessary to calculate the probability of each ball falling out in each individual lottery machine. On the one hand, this makes the task a little easier, on the other hand, it complicates it.
But this is just a theory of probability, which, as it turns out, doesn’t really work. Let's see what secrets there are, based on dry science and statistical data accumulated over decades.
Why doesn't probability theory work?
- Less than ideal conditions
The first thing worth talking about is the calibration of lottery machines. None of the lottery machines are perfectly calibrated.
The second caveat is that the diameters of lottery balls are also not the same. Even differences of the slightest fraction of millimeters play a role in the frequency of a particular ball falling out.
The third detail is the different weight of the balls. Again, the difference may not seem significant at all, but it also affects the statistics, and significantly.
- Sum of winning numbers
If we look at the statistics of winning numbers in a “6 out of 45” lottery, we will notice an interesting fact: the sum of the numbers that players bet on ranges between 126 and 167.
The sum of the winning lottery numbers for “5 out of 36” is a slightly different story. Here the winning numbers add up to 83-106.
- Even or odd?
What numbers do you think are most often found on winning tickets? Even? Odd? I can tell you with complete confidence that in the “6 out of 45” lotteries these numbers are equally divided.
But what about “5 out of 36”? After all, you need to choose only 5 balls; there cannot be an equal number of even and odd balls. So here it is. Having analyzed the results of lotteries of this type over the last four decades, I can say that slightly, but still more often, odd numbers appear in winning combinations. Especially those that contain the number 6 or 9. For example, 19, 29, 39, 69 and so on.
- Popular groups of numbers
For a lottery of the “6 to 45” type, we conditionally divide the numbers into 2 groups - from 1 to 22 and from 23 to 45. It should be noted that in winning tickets the ratio of numbers belonging to the group is 2 to 4. That is, either the ticket will contain 2 numbers from the group from 1 to 22 and 4 numbers from the group from 23 to 45 or vice versa (4 numbers from the first group and 2 from the second).
I came to a similar conclusion when analyzing the statistics of lotteries like “5 out of 36”. Only in this case the groups are split up a little differently. Let's designate the first group that includes the numbers from 1 to 17, and the second the one that contains the remaining numbers from 18 to 35. The ratio of numbers from the first group to the second in winning combinations in 48% of cases is 3 to 2, and in 52 % of cases – on the contrary, 2 to 3.
- Is it worth betting on numbers from past draws?
It has been proven that in 86% of cases, a new drawing repeats a number that has already appeared in previous drawings. Therefore, you just need to follow the draws of the lottery you are interested in.
- Consecutive numbers. To choose or not to choose?
The chance that 3 consecutive numbers will appear at once is very low, less than 0.09%. And if you want to bet on 5 or 6 consecutive numbers at once, there is practically no chance. Therefore, choose different numbers.
- Numbers with a single step: win or lose?
You should not bet on numbers that appear in the same sequence. For example, you definitely don’t need to choose step 2 and place a bet with this step. 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 are definitely a losing combination.
- More than one ticket: yes or no?
It’s better to play once every 10 weeks with 10 tickets than once a week with one. And also play in groups. You can win a big cash prize and split it between several people.
World lottery statistics
- Mega millions
One of the most popular lotteries in the world was carried out according to the following principle: you need to choose 5 numbers out of 56, as well as 1 out of 46 for the so-called golden ball.
For 5 matched balls and 1 correctly named golden ball, the lucky winner receives the jackpot.
The remaining dependencies are shown in the table:
Statistics of dropped regular balls for the entire duration of the above lottery draws.
Statistics of golden balls drawn throughout the Mega Millions drawings.
The most frequently drawn combinations in the lottery are shown in the table below:
- Powerball lottery where more than a dozen lucky people have managed to hit the jackpot. You must select 7 main game numbers and two Powerballs.
Winners' stories
- Lucky compatriots
Evgeny Sidorov from Moscow received 35 million in 2009, before that Nadezhda Mekhametzyanova from Ufa hit the jackpot of 30 million. “Russian Lotto” sent another 29.5 million to Omsk to the winner, who did not want to identify himself. In general, winning jackpots is a good habit of Russian people
- 390 million US dollars in one hand
In the lottery we already talked about, Mega Millions, a lucky winner who wished to remain anonymous won $390 million. And this is far from a rare case. In the same lottery in 2011, two people managed to hit the jackpot, which at that time consisted of an amount of 380 million. The cash prize was divided into two parts and awarded to people who guessed the winning numbers.
A pensioner from South Carolina decided to participate in the Powerball lottery and won 260 million, which he decided to spend on the education of his children, and also bought a house, several cars for the family, and then went traveling.
conclusions
So, here is a summary of the most effective rules, following which you are sure to win:
- The sum of all the numbers you bet on on a lottery ticket must be calculated using the following formula:
Amount = ((1 + n)/2)*z + 2 +/- 12%
n – maximum bet number, for example, 36 in a “5 out of 36” lottery
z – the number of balls you bet on, for example 5 for the “5 out of 36” lottery
That is, for “5 out of 36” the amount will be like this:
((1+36)/2)*5 + 2 +/-12% = 18,5*5+2 +/-12% = 94,5 +/-12%
In this case, from 94.5 + 12% to 94.5 – 12%, that is, from 83 to 106.
- Bet equally on even and odd numbers.
- Divide all the numbers into two large groups in half. The ratio of the number of numbers on a winning ticket is 1 to 2 or 2 to 1.
- Follow the statistics and bet on the numbers that came out in previous draws.
- Don't bet on numbers with one step.
- It’s better to play less often, but buy several tickets at once, and also get together with friends and relatives.
In general, be brave! Follow my rules, place bets, analyze statistics and win!
Almost doubled. The reasons are government policy, low ticket prices and availability of sales outlets.

How to play?
A participant in the Gosloto 4 out of 20 lottery is offered a ticket with five parts:

Additionally, parts of the ticket are divided into fields (for example, in part “A” there are fields 1 and 2). Each field contains 20 digits. This means that when buying one ticket, you can choose two combinations of numbers at once.
To start playing, cross out at least four numbers on your ticket. You can choose more numbers. However, in this case the cost of the game will increase:

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.
To win, you do not need to have a higher education, be the son of rich parents, or graduate 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 are a real way to achieve real 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 good luck spells, winning streaks, lucky 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, self-confidence and healthy optimism are conditions that work more as a plus than as a minus. A person who believes in luck is more likely to be right than a hopeless pessimist.
Currently, online lotteries have become very popular, which 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 the top prize starts at €15 million. If the jackpot is not won within a week, the prize will roll over to the next week.
The biggest recorded win per person was €115 million and the biggest jackpot was €183 million. These huge jackpots have made EuroMillions one of the most successful and exciting lotteries in the entire 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: the prize was received in 2011 by another married couple (Kristen and Colin).
