Raffle of a billion rubles in the New Year's draw of "Russian Lotto"
So, as already mentioned, on the first of January of the New Year, an unprecedented amount will be drawn - one billion rubles in the popular and well-known lottery "Russian Lotto". Moreover, this is not a hypothetical amount that can be won or not, but a guaranteed amount that will be drawn among everyone who buys at least one ticket.

It is necessary that in each of the rounds you are the first to match the numbers in one line, in one of the playing fields or in the entire ticket. Then you win a prize. Once again, I repeat that only 2 barrels will remain in the New Year's draw, which means that everyone has a chance to win.
The sooner the host pulls out your numbers, the more you win. As you can see, there is nothing complicated in the Russian Lotto game. Not in vain, this game has been the most popular among Russians for over 23 years.
How to increase your chances of winning
When buying online, there is a very profitable opportunity to increase the chances of winning the New Year's lottery. The fact is that when choosing tickets, there is a function that allows you to automatically select tickets that will contain all 90 balls! Statistically, by purchasing this package of 5 tickets, you significantly increase the chances of winning.
Robert Bailey knew these numbers by heart, because for a quarter of a century he had been dictating them weekly to New York grocers filling out lottery tickets for him. And then came October 27th.
You can call it luck, you can call it perseverance. But, the combination chosen once: 8, 12, 13, 19, 27 and 4 (PowerBall) - finally worked. Former postal worker, 67-year-old retired Robert Bailey won the biggest prize in New York Lottery history, $343.8 million. Mr Bailey said he was advised by a relative about 25 years ago about the winning numbers, but declined to elaborate.
Robert was one of two winners to hit the $687.8 million Powerball jackpot. The second winner, 51-year-old Lerenne West, a mother of three from Iowa, played auto-bet.
On November 14, Bailey appeared at a public winning check handover ceremony held at the Casino Resort World in Queens. The amount he will receive after taxes is $125,396,690. Cheerful but not very outgoing, Mr. Bailey said he would have avoided the ceremony if he could, but New York State law does not allow lottery winners to hide their identity.
Robert Bailey did not watch the draw that brought him good luck, he checked the results later, after the football. And, I immediately saw my five numbers. And when I realized which number turned out to be an additional one (PowerBall), I was simply shocked. Bailey stayed up all night and barely slept this weekend. It took some time for Robert to get in touch after the draw, as he held meetings with a lawyer and financial advisor, consulting about the win.
Examples of how people for many years (and even decades!) play the same combination, which they win, are not uncommon. As a matter of fact, this is one of the strategies of the game, simple and inexpensive. Behind the scenes is only how many players use it - there may be hundreds of thousands of them, if not more. At the same time, luck smiles only at a few, and each such case is massively replicated.
In Russia, not a single example of such a win is remembered. For one simple reason: Gosloto numerical lotteries are held so often that playing in each draw of the selected lottery (at least with one bet!) Is too expensive, and therefore meaningless. The monthly budget for playing with one option will be - 12 thousand rubles in "5 out of 36" (5 draws per day!), 6 thousand rubles in "6 out of 45" (two draws per day) and 12,000 in the "4 out of 20" lottery
In the case of normal numerical lotteries, the draws of which are held 1-2 times a week, playing with constant combinations is a pleasure that is extended over time, not causing significant financial damage. Simple weekly entertainment. In our case, participation in the Stoloto lotteries with at least one combination, but on an ongoing basis, that is, each draw, is a costly financial burden.
Number lotteries from Stoloto are aimed primarily at people suffering from gambling addiction, which is why they are held so often.
The approach of the New Year is felt more and more strongly. Fragrant tangerines and Christmas decorations are sold in stores, which means that the holiday is coming very soon, although this is not very hard to believe due to the abnormally warm weather and the bright sun outside the window. Together with the main winter holiday, the inhabitants of Russia are waiting for the grandiose New Year's draw of the Russian Lotto, in which a billion rubles will be raffled off. For everyone who wants to become the first lottery billionaire in the country, the question "How to win in the Russian Lotto" is now more relevant than ever. Lottery winners can answer this question best of all. The Republic believes that to win you do not need to read good luck spells, perform rituals on the waxing moon and calculate winning numbers... It is enough to buy a ticket and believe that you are the winner.
"Your mother won a million in the Russian Lotto lottery!"
The Vasiliev family is large and very friendly. Peter and Irina have three beautiful daughters: Elena, Natalya, Maria. The couple live in a private house, and grow vegetables and fruits on their plot. A separate place is given to flowers - Irina, together with her daughters, plants begonias, roses and dahlias. Irina's husband, Peter, built a huge greenhouse for himself and now dreams of its winter version, so that fresh crops can be harvested all year round.
Irina is a very active woman. She works at a school as a teacher of Russian language and literature, loves communicating with children and enjoys the success of her students. In addition to work, a woman manages to lead an active social life - she is the headman of her native village. By the way, it was she who bought the lucky ticket in the Vasiliev family.
I went to Cheboksary for a parent-teacher meeting at the college where Maria is studying. On the station square I saw the Stoloto kiosk. The salesperson said she only had one ticket left. At first I did not want to take it, but I bought it anyway. I got on the bus and forgot about this ticket for a week, - Irina recalls.
Having missed the TV broadcast of the draw, the woman decided to check the results on the Stoloto website. She had no premonitions of winning. Seeing the amount of a million, she could not believe her eyes and counted the zeros several times. I even called my husband to make sure that there were really six of them. Later she called the Stoloto hotline, where she was confirmed that the purchased ticket contains the winning numbers.
The couple were so happy that they immediately shared the good news with their daughters.
Irina told Natalya, who now lives in Moscow, about the win and asked her to drive to the lottery center to process the win. And at that time I called Elena and Maria. I tell the girls: “Your mother won a million rubles,” Peter said in his review.
Such a gift of fate was immediately used. The couple decided to buy an apartment for their beloved daughters in a new building in the city of Cheboksary. The living space has already been selected and very soon the dream of the Vasiliev family will become a reality.
We often visit Cheboksary, where our youngest daughter studies. An apartment in this city will be very useful to us. It seems to me that this prize was sent as a reward for the good that we do to people, - adds Irina.
Do they win in "Russian Lotto"? Feedback from the winners
Participation in the Russian Lotto lottery has long become a tradition in the Vasiliev family. None of the household members even wondered if it was possible to win. Everyone was unequivocally convinced that everyone has a chance to win.
Initially, Peter began to participate in the lottery. For the holidays, he bought tickets for all family members as a gift. Irina was skeptical about this venture of her husband, but Peter told her that everything would definitely return. These words turned out to be prophetic.
The whole village knows the Vasiliev family as very hospitable people. They often invite friends and relatives to their place, lay a huge four-meter table in the garden and treat guests. Time is always spent cheerfully: with songs, dances and a cheerful harmonist.

- Second round. The winners are those whose tickets matched all 15 numbers first in the same playing field with extended kegs. The jackpot is won by the one who has matched 15 numbers out of 30 in the ticket in the first 15 moves.
- Third round. Winnings are taken by those in whose tickets all 30 numbers matched first.
