The lottery is one of the most popular gambling in which to really win a large sum money and expensive clothing prizes. Carrying out lotteries in Russia is regulated at the legislative level, so participants can count on the honesty of accredited organizers.
Below you will find tips on choosing the type of lottery, ways to increase your chances of winning, a list of popular Russian lotteries, as well as the rating of the largest winnings.
What type of lottery is better to choose?
Lotteries may differ in the way they are conducted. On this basis, two types are distinguished:
- Circulation lottery - prize fund is played between all participants, and the game is held at a time after the sale of lottery tickets for a certain date and time. According to Russian legislation, during the drawing, only one piece of equipment is allowed to determine the winning combination of numbers or symbols - in order to avoid fraud.
- Drawless Lottery(instant) - information for determining the winnings is included in the tickets at the time of their creation. You can find out the result immediately after buying a game card by erasing the protective coating, under which there are hidden symbols. By their combination, the absence or presence of winnings, as well as its size, is determined.
When choosing a type, some features should be considered:
- IN drawing lotteries often the prize pool is larger. As a rule, the participant has the opportunity to independently choose the combination that, in his opinion, will be victorious. In this case, you will have to wait for the draw.
- In non-circulation lotteries, the size of winnings is smaller, but, according to statistics, they win more often. Another advantage - the result can be found instantly.

The biggest wins in Russia
There are people who somehow miraculously managed to get big winnings, some of them from Russia. One hundred million rubles - just such a serious amount in 2009 was won by a resident of St. Petersburg in Gosloto. The surname of the winner is Albert Begrakyan.Thirty-five million were handed over to the Muscovite in the same 2009th. The lucky one turned out to be a fan of the lottery Evgeny Sidorov. But Nadezhda Mukhametzyanova, who lives in Ufa, in 2001 received almost thirty million rubles, having acquired six lottery tickets before the New Year. By 2004, the winnings amounted to twenty-nine and a half million, and by 2001 - in the amount of eleven and a half million. There were many more wins, however, they were all smaller. .
The biggest win in Russian Lotto
The television game called "Russian Lotto" is a major television lottery. As with most of these lotteries, it all depends on the case, for someone happy, and for someone not. 
It is known that it is this company that offers the largest winnings, a large prize pool. To date, no one has managed to get one hundred million. However, there are some very impressive wins. It is known that the largest winning was twenty-nine and a half million. The name of the lucky man was not announced by the company, it is only known that he is from the city of Yaroslavl. Since the surname is unknown, no one knows how this person disposed of such a considerable amount.
The biggest jackpots
So far, the largest jackpot has been $390 million. It was drawn in 2007 in the USA in the Mega Millions lottery. In 2011, two residents of the United States managed to win the same lottery at once. The jackpot then amounted to three hundred and eighty million and was divided into two. 
Another one American company- the organizer of the lottery paid a huge amount to the lucky winner who hit the jackpot. It's about the Powerball lottery. It happened in 2009, the year, a pensioner living in the state of South Carolina, having bought a lottery for a couple of dollars, received two hundred and sixty million. In the same lottery, the Americans hit jackpots in the amount of two hundred and eleven million and in the amount of two hundred and twelve million dollars.
In October 2010, the EuroMillions jackpot amounted to one hundred and thirteen million pounds, and the year before, a Spanish citizen received an amount equal to one hundred and twenty-six million euros.
There is another lottery - "SuperEnalotto", which twice set the record for winnings in Europe. Both of them were in 2009. In the spring, the Spaniard won one hundred and twenty-three million euros, and at the end of the summer this record was broken. An Italian from the village of Bagnone received almost one hundred and forty-eight million euros.

There is another record holder - Eric Seidel, who chose a specialization for himself - playing in tournaments. During his career he received at least fifteen million dollars. Jonathan Duhamel won nearly $9 million in 2010. Pius Heinz received almost the same amount in 2011.
Big winnings at roulette
Winning at roulette can only be counted lucky chance. You should not look at roulette as a way to earn money. It is known that in the long run everything is aimed at making money for the casino, otherwise it would not make sense for them. For every win, there are a lot of losses. 
However, big wins do happen. There are several well-known ones. Joseph Jaggers at the end of the nineteenth century won an amount close to three hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. It happened in one of the Monte Carlo casinos. In the same nineteenth century, almost a million francs went to Charles Wells, also in Monte Carlo. He broke the bank.
A few months passed, and he again managed to "break the bank." Because of this, he was even suspected of fraud, but no one had any supporting evidence.

The biggest winnings in Russia and the world
First, let's see how much money people have won in the lottery here and abroad.
Breaking the big jackpot in the lottery is unlikely, but quite real. And a lot of “lucky ones” confirm this. Having received, by chance, several million, they immediately changed their way of life, reaching a fairly stable financial position that helped them live full life 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 wins in Russia
So, who are they - lottery winners?
951 thousand in 2008 was won by a resident of Togliatti. According to him, he bought lottery tickets for 23 years. During this time, he developed his own strategy for guessing numbers. But strangely enough, the correct combination came to him in a dream. After receiving the winnings, he announced that he would continue to play the lottery.
A resident of a small village in the Kurgan region became richer by exactly a million. Luck smiled at him in January 2008. He instantly became the richest guy in the village and an enviable groom.
In 2011, the jackpot went to the Samara region. A 27-year-old resident who spent only 100 rubles on a purchase became richer by as much as 2.5 million. The money was spent on the purchase of real estate.
4 million - this is the amount won by a married couple from Samara region. They spent all the money on a good cause - the construction of the church.
30 million resident of Ufa won on New Year's Eve - December 30, 2001. At that time it was the biggest win in Russia. In total, 6 tickets were bought, one of which became lucky. Not only the whole of Ufa, but also the whole country learned about the record win. A lot of money that suddenly fell from the sky turned the family's head. Funds began to be spent thoughtlessly: alcohol, gambling, entertainment. As a result, 10 years after the win, the family spent almost all the money and began to live almost as modestly as before the significant date.
35 million went to a resident of Moscow in 2009. A little more than 500 rubles were spent on tickets. The man used this money to set up a business in the village where he was from.
100 million rubles was won in 2009 by a resident of the suburbs of St. Petersburg Albert Bagrakyan. A native of Armenia, who emigrated to Russia in 2001, did not hide either 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 the construction of a hotel, the purchase and decoration of several apartments, the purchase of 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 in February 2014 to a resident of Omsk. The man spent 810 rubles on a happy purchase. It is not known how his fate turned out, but he planned to leave to live in warmer climes, having bought a house on the seashore.
The biggest lottery win in Russian history was 358 million rubles. This happened during the drawing of 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 wins in Russia are hundreds of millions. The situation is similar in the world, only the amounts here are calculated in dollars (euro, pounds). As a result, in absolute terms, winnings in the lottery in developed countries can bring the lucky ones 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 exceeds Russian lotteries by dozens of times, so we get phenomenal prize funds.
- 425 million single-handedly went to a pensioner from California in 2014. It is noteworthy that grandfather practically whole month did not declare to the organizers of the lottery about his victory. He showed up for the win on April 1, April Fool's Day, wearing a T-shirt in the style of " Star Wars with the inscription "May the luck of the Jedi be with me."

- 590 million went to a resident of Florida when drawing a jackpot in 2013. This is the largest win ever won by a single winner.
- $640 million in 2012. The prize was divided between 3 lucky ones.
Most large size The jackpot was drawn in 2016. The total amount was (and this is no joke) a mind-blowing $1.5 billion!!! It was divided between the three winners. Each received $528 million.
Money generator - what's inside
The lottery is a well-built business based on the desire of people to get rich quick and on simple mathematical statistics. The organizers of the lottery form the prize fund from cash receipts from sold tickets. Moreover, this amount is never equal to the proceeds from the sale. A certain part, usually half, immediately goes to current expenses (maintaining current activities, printing tickets, distribution, salaries to employees, advertising, and others) and, of course, to the pocket of the organizers, in the form of net profit.
It turns out that only part of the money goes to the draw. And if only half. In some lotteries, the share of raffled cash prizes is only 35-40% of all funds collected for 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 pool. It is on this that almost all gambling games are built. A striking example- roulette in the 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 received 30 thousand among themselves. The winner takes all. To do this, they invite an independent point guard. He takes 15,000 for his services. As a result, the “lucky one” will get only the remaining 15 thousand rubles. Silly, isn't it. But it is precisely the role of such an intermediary distributing winnings that the lottery, represented by its organizers, performs.
The only advantage is the accumulated jackpot, which can be carried over to the next draw, gradually increasing in size. As a result, it can significantly exceed the amount of tickets sold in circulation.
Types of lotteries
From all the variety of possibilities presented at common man can blow the roof off. There are 2 simple tips here:
- Play only domestic lotteries in order not to go to another country to receive the winnings.
- Select only the most popular draws. First, it is to talk about the honesty of the organizers. Secondly, they usually have a very solid prize pool.
Conventionally, all lotteries can be divided into 2 categories:
Instant
The most simple. The result can be seen immediately after buying 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 received immediately without leaving the cash desk - at the place of purchase. For large events, please contact the organizers. There is only one drawback - this is the possibility of manipulating the prize fund by the organizer, namely, large winnings. Winning tickets may simply not go on sale or come in a smaller amount.
There is another nuance. The organizers, releasing tickets for sale, cannot determine in advance what percentage of the circulation will be sold: 100, 50 or only 20%. A prize tickets for a certain amount you need to print in advance. There are of course certain data based on past sales statistics. But so that it does not happen that the prize fund in the circulation amounted to 10 million, and only 2 million tickets were sold and purchased winning tickets was 3 million, the organizers are insuring themselves by reducing the number and amount of winning tickets to a very modest figure.
Read - it's interesting :
- with the ability to play several games for free
The advantage is a fairly high probability of lucky tickets falling out. And although the size of such winnings is very small (usually 5-10 times the cost of a ticket), there are a lot of them.
Circulation
More popular than instant ones. They, in turn, are divided into 2 types. Some already have a printed set of numbers. For others, the participant is given the right to choose the combinations of numbers he likes. And although the probability of winning in both cases is the same, it is the latter that are preferred by avid lovers of draws when you can influence the results yourself (or so they think).
Chances of winning the lottery
Everyone who buys the coveted lottery ticket hopes to hit the jackpot. Well, at least win a large sum of money. What are the real chances of winning? What is the probability of winning the lottery?
If we 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 guessing only 2 numbers is 1 to 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 is reduced by almost 50 thousand times and will be 1: 376,992.
The chances of winning in various lotteries depend on the number of guessed numbers and the range of numbers involved in the draw. Increasing just one number to draw the main prize immediately reduces the probability of winning by dozens of times.
A joke on the subject.
Old Abram in his prayers asked God every day:
God! Help me win the lottery!
A month, a year, 10 years have 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 is the math showing the odds of hitting winning combinations on the most popular lotteries.
5 out of 36
6 out of 45
7 out 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 the most profitable to play, you just need to calculate the probability of winning per one ruble invested.
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 odds of winning the top 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 is 5 out of 36 - 1: 376,922. Accordingly, we need to increase investments in other lotteries by buying more tickets, thereby leveling the probability for all three draws.
The result is the following data:
We got some pretty unexpected results. With the same probability of winning, the most profitable lottery turned out to be 5 out of 36. The difference with 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 draws, everyone, from ordinary players to scientists, is trying to find a winning system that allows you to get money guaranteed. Well, or at least significantly increase the chances of success. Thousands of different variations have been developed, from the simplest to the most complex, using the latest computer technology.
But as time has shown, it is impossible to create a profitable system. The chance to win by choosing numbers according to your own algorithms and random numbers is the same. And it doesn't matter if 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 being struck by lightning in a person is 1 in 600,000. This is dozens 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 tricks and tricks that allow you to gain some advantage over other players. You need to be clear 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 chance. But you can achieve a significant increase in potential winnings for the same money spent.
When some will buy tickets for 100 rubles, hoping to win 5-10 thousand or even 30 million, you will have the opportunity to receive amounts 2-10-50 times higher with the same money.
Play 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 fall out, the prize is divided among several participants. It can be 2 and 100 and 1000 people. If a combination with unpopular numbers falls out, then a much smaller number of people will participate in the division. In some cases, the number of winning people can be reduced by dozens of times with one category of winnings. And it is better to divide the prize among 5 people than 50 or even 100.
What numbers to choose? Let's go from the opposite. The range from 1 to 31 is 70% more common than others. This is due to the habit of people to associate everything with significant dates, first of all, of course, this is a birthday: 12 months in a year, 31 days in a month, year of birth - numbers from 0 to 10.
Numbers 6 and 13 are considered bad.
Even numbers are chosen less frequently than odd numbers.
Another pattern is the choice by most people of numbers that are not next to each other on the ticket: neither horizontally nor vertically. According to the theory of probability, all numbers have exactly the same chance of falling out. Whether it's 1,2,3 or 5, 15,27,31, the system doesn't care.
Numbers from the first half of the ten (21, 33, 14) are chosen a little more often than from the last (28, 19, 29, 46).
By choosing unpopular numbers and combinations, you can increase the amount of potential winnings several times at once.
Increased Grand Prize
Another way to increase the chances of winning is to not play the jackpot. The amount increases with each draw and, accordingly, the amount of winnings for each invested ruble becomes higher. Therefore, in such circulations it is better to buy lottery tickets for a large amount.
Example. Every week you participate in the drawing of 5,000 million rubles by buying one ticket for 100 rubles. For several months Grand Prize was not drawn and amounted to 100,000 million rubles. Since the probability of winning in all draws is the same, but the amount of winnings has increased by 20 times, it is more expedient to buy not one, but several tickets each draw.
It is better not to buy tickets at all (and save up money) until the prize fund grows several times. And at the time of its strong increase on the accumulated money to buy 10-20-30 tickets at a time. After we decide on the lucky one, we again go into "hibernation" and save up money until the right moment.
Distribution circulation
If during the year, no one was able to win the main prize, then it is held distribution circulation. This is required by law.
If main winner it was not determined again, 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 win each grows 5 times at once.
Experienced Players always participate in such draws. After all, this real chance get a lot more for the same money.
The 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 further draws. And then it remains only to wait for a happy occasion. Experienced players can also analyze the archive of past winnings and exclude all previously repeated combinations. And from the rest, choose the one you want. The probability of falling out the second time similar combinations is very unlikely, especially those consisting of 5-6 numbers.
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 the desires or fears of a person materialized. This is all very interestingly described in the movie "Secret". For those who haven't seen it, I recommend it.
Therefore, when buying lottery tickets, you don’t need to say to yourself: “I’ll lose, it’s not scary, the loss is not great. The ticket costs only 100 rubles.” Think positively, sincerely believe in luck and you will be happy.
A joke on the subject.
The teacher says: “Children, there is no God! Let's show him a fig in the sky! All the children show, one Moishe is not.
Teacher: "Moishe! Why don't you show?
Moishe: “Maria Ivanovna! If there is no God, then to whom then to show? And if it exists….. why show it then?”
Tax on winnings
Few people think about taxes when buying lottery tickets. And by the way - their timely payment is the duty of every citizen. At least that's how it is written in the tax code of Russia. To pay or not to pay, we will leave on the conscience of the “lucky ones” who received the winnings. But knowing for what and how much you need to pinch off your winnings in favor of the state will not hurt.
Absolutely all types of winnings are subject to taxation. But here they are divided into 2 types.
- Based on risk, sweepstakes and related to the direct costs of the participants. This is primarily about buying lottery tickets. All winnings received are taxed at a rate of 13%. And it does not matter how much you won: 100 million or 100 rubles.
- Incentive lotteries. These are raffles related to the promotion of their products. Usually held in shops, hypermarkets and large companies, in order to attract new customers and increase their confidence. Prizes are usually not money, but various gifts, vouchers and other goods. The whole thing is taxed already at a rate of as much as 35% of the value of the winnings.
The amount of winnings up to 4 thousand rubles is not subject to taxation. It 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 from the full amount, but from a decrease of 4,000. 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 transfer the necessary amounts to the budget for you. You get your winnings in your hands minus the tax withheld. In that case, you're in luck (if you didn't want to pay taxes, you're out of luck).
The second option is self-payment of money to the budget. To do this, you need to fill out a declaration, submit it to tax office at the place of residence and, of course, transfer money to the budget.
Finally
Statistics say that everyone has an equal chance of winning. And affect the drop rate winning numbers impossible. The only leverage available to players is the ability to change the amount of potential winnings, when for the same money you can win much large sums than other players.
This is especially true for permanent players who regularly buy lottery tickets and have some statistics on winnings. following simple advice will allow them to buy tickets to right time, in more profitable lotteries and profitable circulations.
For example, if a player during the year, buying one ticket for 100 rubles every week, won a total of 3,000 rubles in small winnings, then using the tips above, it is quite possible to increase the amount of winnings several times at similar costs.
The priority rules are the choice of lotteries and draws with the highest winnings for each ruble invested, or the game against the crowd, choosing the most unpopular number combinations in the ticket.
Lottery is one of the most popular gambling games where you can win real money. But is it possible to win the lottery in Russia? And is it possible to make money on it?
It's no secret that lottery winners are determined by chance. That is, these are people who managed to pull out happy ticket and do not know about it until the drawing of numbers.
In 2016, as many as 3 Americans managed to hit the jackpot in one lottery draw " Powerball» . The winnings of each participant amounted to 528 million dollars, and in total they took 1.5 billion dollars.
Later it became known that all three people play "Powerball" regularly, which allowed them to eventually guess all the numbers.
But is there a lottery in Russia that pays money without cheating? — Let's turn to the history of the last big winnings that were paid to the Russians.
Big lottery wins in Russia
Of course, in Russia, no one has won billions of dollars in the lottery, our victories are much less. But all due to the fact that tickets are cheaper and people are less willing to participate in lotteries.
It's no secret that the lottery is always in the black, and the jackpot is formed from part of the income from the sale of tickets. But still in Russia there were lottery wins, where crazy money shone.
Stoloto (former Gosloto)
Stoloto has a game of 6 out of 45, where people who guess the numbers take the money. If you guess only 6 numbers out of 45, then you automatically hit the jackpot, which sometimes accumulates over the years.
In Russia, it is Stoloto that is considered the largest lottery, where every year people appear who break a large bank, let's look at the latest cases.
- Nikolai from Novosibirsk, who works as a doctor, was able to win record amount for the lottery in Russia - 358 million rubles! As he explained later: I have been participating in this lottery for several years and stick to my tactics, I did not think that I could win such a big jackpot.
- In 2014, Valery from Omsk became the record holder because he was able to win 184.5 million rubles by guessing all 6 numbers out of 45!
- And in 2009, Albert Begrakyan was able to win 100 million rubles which was a record at the time. He also regularly participated in draws and believed in luck!
Russian loto
Unlike others, Russian Lotto is a television lottery, where the current jackpot already exceeds 100 million rubles, and the ticket price is 50 rubles.
The biggest win in Russian Lotto happened a long time ago and it amounted to 29.5 million rubles. They became a young man from Yaroslavl, although the identity was not disclosed.
Bingo
Bingo completes the top three biggest lotteries in Russia. Its essence lies in the fact that you would match all 15 numbers that fall out earlier than others. There are always many winners in this lottery. Therefore, apartments and cars are often played.
Do you still doubt that you can win the lottery in Russia? It may not be possible to break a large bank, but it is always possible to recapture the cost of tickets and earn money to buy new ones!
There are many ways and beliefs that lottery players use. The first come up with their own formula, the second guess the date of birth, and the third bet on the same numbers. But what is the most effective?
If you look at the last 100-200 draws of one of the lotteries, it becomes obvious that there are always different numbers in random order. However, some facts can be noted.
3 rules that have helped many winners:
- You need to choose reliable lottery organizers who are known to everyone (in a good way);
- To increase your chances of winning, choose a 5 out of 36 or 6 out of 45 lottery (where quite a few people have already won);
- Buy tickets regularly in each draw, but without fanaticism (no more than 10 pieces).
One of the last big lottery winners also said that he noticed a trend that popular combinations of numbers “1-30” are chosen more often than others.
Since some people think of different dates, therefore, these combinations should be avoided so that, with guessed numbers, the money is divided among fewer people.
When looking at the statistics of big lottery wins, you can see that most of them happened from November to March. That is, there are more participants in the lottery at this time, which makes it more likely that someone will hit the jackpot.
