Russian lotteries with a large prize fund. The most famous Russian lotteries: reviews and review

Russian Post has been unsuccessfully looking for a Russian who has won a record amount in the history of Russian state lotteries for several days. The ticket, which hit the jackpot of 506 million rubles during a TV draw, was purchased in late October - early November at a post office in the Voronezh region. According to the rules of the lottery, the money will wait for the winner, but the organizers expect the winner to be announced earlier - within the next few weeks. However, record winnings often remain unclaimed.

The portal site has collected stories about the largest lottery winnings in Russia and in the world, as well as about big money that the winners did not get.

Geography of victories

Before the news about the Voronezh lucky ticket, the winnings that fell to a resident of Sochi were considered a record. In May 2017, the ticket he bought won 364.6 million rubles. The representatives of the Stoloto company, which, in fact, conducted the draw, were the first to tell the journalists about this.

“A resident of Sochi became the owner of the largest super prize in the history of Russian lotteries. The winning amount was 364.686 million rubles! The record fell on the 2943rd print run,” the company said in a statement.

It is known that the lottery ticket that won in May 2017 cost the owner 700 rubles. Immediately after the announcement of the victory, the company turned to the winner with a request to come to the central office in Moscow to process the winnings. Whether the lucky man took the money is not known, but more information about his search did not appear.

Shortly before that, in March 2017, information appeared that Russians began to play lotteries more often and spend more in the process. This means that the amount of winnings began to grow. According to the Stoloto company, on average 15 Russians became millionaires every week in the country. There were indeed several record winners in 2017 in the country.

Two big wins happened in Novosibirsk at once. On February 27, 2017, a resident of the city won 358.3 million rubles (it was his record that was broken by the winner from Sochi). It is only known about the winner of the lottery that by that time he had already taken part in three draws of the Gosloto 6 out of 45 lottery, and the winning bet cost him 1.8 thousand rubles. On May 30, 2017, in the same place, in Novosibirsk, a lottery ticket brought its owner a super prize in the amount of 300 million rubles. The lucky ticket was bought directly on the lottery website and cost 100 rubles.

But before that, the last time the participants of domestic lotteries managed to win a large amount a few years ago. In August 2014, a resident of Nizhny Novgorod won a super prize of 202.4 million rubles. Prior to this, the amount of winnings in the country did not exceed 150-170 million rubles.

At the global level

However, not always a big win goes to one person. So, in January 2016, the largest jackpot in the entire world history of lotteries was won in the USA. The winnings amounted to $ 1.5 billion. The winners then became the owners of three tickets at once: the money was divided between families from the US state of Tennessee and from California, as well as a pensioner from Florida.

In addition, lottery organizing companies almost never pay out the entire amount of winnings at once. Usually, winners are offered either to accept relatively small payouts over several decades, or to take all the money after winning, but forgoing a significant payout. Most often, lottery winners choose the latter option, so that in the end, after paying taxes, they end up with an amount on hand that is at least half as much as that announced by the lottery company. In addition, part of the money will have to be given to the organizers of the lottery as a commission. According to media estimates, for example, each of the three families that won the billion dollar jackpot in January 2016 should have received no more than $200-300 million in the end.

But in August of this year, the biggest win in the world was recorded, which was received by one person. Then a native of Massachusetts won $ 758 million in the popular Powerball lottery. Obviously, 2017 was successful not only for Russian lottery fans.

Lost money

Not all the lucky ones are in a hurry to immediately withdraw their money, often they remain unclaimed in principle. Depending on the rules of the lottery, the winner may be waiting for several weeks or several years. But if the winner is not announced at the appointed time, the money is usually transferred to charitable organizations with which the lotteries cooperate. This, for example, happened to the largest unclaimed jackpot in world history. In 2012, £63.8 million was transferred to the charity fund. Then the winner was able to guess the winning combination of three numbers, but after the victory, for some reason, he did not come for the money. It is not known exactly how much money during the existence of lotteries did not wait for their owners. But according to the British National Lottery, since 1994 alone, this amount has already amounted to about £ 1.5 billion in the country.

Lottery companies that benefit from attention, and most importantly - people's trust in the draws, always publicly declare big wins. As a result, applicants often appear in the offices of companies, whose identity raises questions from the organizers. In 2010, in the American lottery Hot Lotto, they waited several months for the lucky winner who won $14.3 million. When only a few days remained before the expiration of the time allotted for the winner to collect the winnings, a lawyer turned to the organizers. According to him, he represented the interests of the winner, who wished to remain anonymous. According to the rules of the lottery, he was asked to provide the details of the participant to process the prize, after which the lawyer suddenly disappeared. No one else came for money. The company suggested that the ticket was either lost and found by a third person who had nothing to do with the drawing, or resold after the victory, since the rightful owner was hiding from the law.

But more often than not, tourists who have bought a “lucky ticket” out of idle curiosity or simply to exchange some large banknote miss their fortune. As the lottery business says, "real" gamblers usually keep a close eye on the draws and rarely miss a chance to get rich.

People of hard fate

It is possible that some of the winners do not come for the money consciously, simply out of fear. There are many stories about the ruined destinies of those who unexpectedly fell on their heads in millions of winnings. And some scientists tend to confirm this. In 2008, the media wrote about a scientific study, according to which winning $ 50-150 thousand increases a person's chances of bankruptcy within the next three years. In 2016, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, on the other hand, drew attention to the fact that bankruptcy is worth waiting for neighbors - according to a study conducted by a financial institution, people who live near lottery winners usually increase their spending dramatically.

In 2006, a group of researchers published a study, The Psychological Impact of Money, in which scientists stated that holding large sums of money leads to loneliness. First of all, those who became rich at once and did not have the opportunity to adapt to their situation are at risk.

Among the most common negative consequences that big money brings with it, psychologists cite the destruction of ties with family and the immediate environment, which often occurs due to dismissal from work and a drastic change in lifestyle, boredom and lack of passion for something that can lead to emergence of dependencies. Often, however, all this does not happen at the will of the “lucky ones” - some of them complain that companies themselves fire employees after big wins, and those close to them begin to move away after such a “money shock”.

True, negative consequences are usually avoided by those who, having received a win, keep a sober head - spend money on charity, save it for the future and try not to immediately change the usual picture of expenses.

No one can know for sure when fortune will turn to him. Therefore, some buy lottery tickets year after year so as not to miss THAT day, others prefer not to spend money. However, Russian lotteries continue to flourish and delight their fans with winnings.

Domestic lotteries, of course, are inferior in terms of the size of the jackpot to their foreign counterparts. But this does not mean that one should not believe in fate, especially since everyone can afford to buy a Russian ticket, it is inexpensive. In our country, there is a large network of points of sale and the possibility of buying online has been launched. In addition, PR companies continue to advertise the chance to win big.

Where can I buy a ticket

It is hardly possible to meet a person who does not want to get rich in an instant. Help in solving financial problems is offered at every step. You can see a large number of offers on Internet advertising banners. But is it worth trusting tempting offers? Experienced players are advised to purchase tickets only at official points. To really win, give preference to trusted dealers and sites, for example, the Russian Stoloto lottery has been tested for years.

Sales points:

• newsstands;
• branches of Sberbank;
• shopping centers.

Of course, these are not all available options, but try to buy tickets at trusted points with a decent reputation and great experience.

Lottery 6/45

The ticket with the meaningful name 6 out of 45 is the Russian lottery with the biggest jackpot at the moment. This is confirmed by the monitoring commission, which conducted a large-scale study of all lotteries that operate on the territory of our country. To become a winner, you need to guess a combination of 6 numbers that fall out during the live broadcast. You can watch the game and try your luck every day at 10 pm Moscow time. The Russian lottery "Gosloto" in 2014 gave an opportunity to a resident of Omsk to start a new life. The man hit the jackpot with a face value of 184 million rubles.

Lottery 5/36

The commission ruled that 5/36 has the fairest rules when it comes to Russian lotteries. The winner is the one who guesses 5 numbers out of 36 possible options. This ticket is worth keeping an eye on for the impatient who can't wait for the draw to start, as they delight their viewers twice a day with a live draw.

Lottery 7/49

After analyzing the situation, it can be understood that 7/49 takes the second place of honor in the rating "Russian lotteries with the biggest wins." The principle of this option is no different from the previous ones. It is necessary to guess 7 numbers out of 49 offered. An additional advantage is the ability to continue the game by expanding the boundaries to a combination of twelve numbers. If the player managed to guess at least three, four, five or six numbers, he receives a prize. The organizers spend about 50% of all money from bets on the game for payments for these combinations.

Golden Key

We continue to consider popular Russian lotteries. Russian Lotto or, as the official name says, "Golden Key" will be remembered by all viewers for many years. Especially the mustachioed, good-natured uncle, who for the past 12 years has been handing out apartments right and left.

Central channels are happy to host broadcasts of draws. At first, the program was shown by ORT, then I had to make room and change Channel One to RTR. In addition to apartments, players have the opportunity to win cash prizes or cars. The meaning of the game is similar to the usual lotto. It is necessary to cross out one of the rows faster than the others. If we consider the best Russian lotteries, then the Golden Key is considered the oldest one that exists today. According to unconfirmed media reports, the organizer and main sponsor of the game is the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation.

Lotto "Million"

All Russian lotteries take the idea from similar overseas ones. It was no exception and he managed to gain a foothold in the domestic market due to an interesting system. Buying one lottery ticket, you can try your luck for several rounds of the draw. If fortune is really on your side today, and you won in two rounds, the amount of winnings is summed up. This system, although complex, is very loved by the audience and allows you to be in blissful tension throughout the game. To become the owner of the jackpot, you must cross out all 25 numbers in 25 moves in both fields.

First National Lottery

The Russian lotteries with the largest winnings were led by the First National Lottery. According to 2016 data, it occupies a leading position in people's trust. This is not surprising, since this program was created specifically to restore confidence in the draws that the state arranged in the early 2000s. According to official statistics, the First National Lottery allows 25 thousand people to win in just one round of the game. The organizers spend 60 percent of the bets on payments, which is 10 percent more than in the rest. Established rules for increasing payouts increase the chances of winning.

housing lottery

You can even try your luck online, on the Stoloto website. State Russian lotteries allow you to win an apartment or a large amount of money. The housing lottery is ideal for those who dream of owning their own living space. The tickets show two fields, each of which has three rows of five digits each. By playing this lottery, you get the opportunity to become the owner of a one-, two- or three-room apartment. More recently, the organizers have experienced unfavorable times, but today the situation on the housing market has stabilized.

Winning combinations:

• collect a combination of the dropped numbers in one line the fastest;
• collect all the numbers of one field first;
• collect all the numbers in two fields.

Everyone whose tickets contain at least one missing number loses. Most often, there are three to four uncovered digits in the card.

Lottery "Golden Horseshoe"

Another state-supported lottery is the Golden Horseshoe, which is broadcast on the NTV channel on Sundays at 8:15 Moscow time. Having enlisted the support of the Ministry of Sports, she has a large number of fans of the Russian loto, which is similar in terms of rules and principles.

The well-known presenter maintains the image and is already remembered by the audience with his good-natured smile and signature phrases. Please note that tickets must be purchased before 16:00 Moscow time one day before the TV broadcast, more precisely until Saturday. The intrigue lies in the ever-growing jackpot. Golden Horseshoe leads the Russian lotteries with a large prize fund, because the number of ticket buyers is a record. The simple rules of the game and the propaganda on television do the trick.

If we consider the rules of the game, we can see a striking resemblance to the usual Russian loto. One line must be crossed out to receive the minimum prize. Then one completely crossed out field wins, then the winner is the one who crossed out all the numbers of two fields before the others.

If you carefully study the reviews about the "Golden Horseshoe", then you can note their positive orientation. A big advantage in favor of buying this ticket is the low price - about 50 rubles. The second significant factor is the transparency of tours. Russian lotteries, reviews of which are carefully studied by the organizers, are usually held online to eliminate the possibility of fraud and prevent rumors of dishonest tours. Analysts argue that there is no reason to manipulate the results of this lottery, the fact is that the Ministry of Sports receives 50 percent of the sale of all tickets, which is an impressive amount. The remaining 50 percent goes to the prize pool.

However, you can also find a negative note in the reviews, for example, the issuance of winnings can be difficult and take a long time. In some cases, the winners had to wait up to two weeks. The organizers reassure the players that everyone will receive the winnings, the problem lies in the accounting delays when transferring large amounts of money. Public funding requires a certain amount of time, which is already limited. Preparing reports, transferring money to the organizer and delivering prizes to distribution points - all this takes from one to two weeks. If you become the owner of a prize of one million rubles, you will have to visit the central office, the rest can pick up prizes at points of sale.

Instant lottery from Sberbank

For thrill seekers, there is another way to test your luck. The Russians allow you to look into the eyes of fortune without leaving their department. The only thing you need to do is buy a ticket at one of the ticket offices of any branch, regardless of the region of your residence. The ticket price is indicated on its front side, on the back you can find the rules for holding and issuing prizes.

Choose any ticket you like and remove the protective film to find out how much you won. In the event that you become the owner of an amount less than a thousand, you will receive it instantly at the same branch of the bank, if more, then read the information on the back of where to apply for the win, a detailed description of the work and actions. If you have any questions, you can contact the operators at the phone numbers and e-mail indicated on the back.

The advantage of such a lottery is a real chance to win a prize. After all, the option of fraud is excluded, you yourself choose a ticket that can bring you good luck. To form the prize fund, the funds received from bets are used. The representative office of the Ministry of Finance assures that a certain part of the money received from the sale goes to charitable and social funds, and socially significant projects are supported. One of them was the Olympics held in Sochi and ticket prices range from 20 to 100 rubles. Buying a ticket, you can count on becoming richer in the amount of twenty rubles to ten million.

Sometimes Sberbank holds draws under its own name. So, in honor of Victory Day, a lottery was created under the leadership of Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The money received was transferred to support the veterans of the Great Patriotic War and to install monuments that will remind us of the Great Victory of our people. The ticket price ranged from thirty to winnings - from 30 rubles to 400 thousand.

A similar idea was supported by another lottery, which was held to develop society and help nature. To support the environment, you could buy a ticket for 50 rubles, and for the sake of recreating the cultural heritage and developing youth, you could spend 20 rubles. And get the opportunity to win up to five hundred and two hundred thousand rubles, respectively.

The most winning Russian lotteries

Russian lotteries with a large prize fund allow you to win large sums, but, of course, with a certain amount of luck. Experienced players carefully monitor the draws, where the chance of getting the coveted amount is higher. The leader in terms of winnings is Gosloto. There is a lot of intrigue here until the very end. In addition, the number of winners is a record for all existing official lotteries in Russia. Officially confirmed information says that already three players (since 2009) have taken the jackpot with a total amount of about 140 million rubles.

The second largest number of winning players - "Bingo". This lottery allows you to justify the purchased ticket, and sometimes brings stunning amounts. The most striking example is an unemployed resident of Ufa, who managed to take about 30 million Russian rubles from the game fund.

Third place is given to Russian Lotto, which has one of the largest prize pools. However, it is worth noting that the biggest win ever is 29.5 million. But this does not exclude the possibility of breaking this record and getting into the history of the development of Russian Lotto.

Despite a large number of negative reviews about the Russian Railways Lottery, it got into the TOP of winning lotteries. It played a significant role that, in fact, no knowledge is required, waiting for the morning air and finding a point of sale. By purchasing tickets on the train, you can only look forward to the draw that takes place at the end of each month. The biggest win was 11.5 million. Interestingly, the lucky one completely forgot about his purchase. They searched for him for two weeks, but still they were able to find and hand over the coveted fortune. The second largest prize went to a resident of Kemerovo. By an incredible coincidence, the winner had to be searched for longer - about two months.

The most famous winners and their fate

Not everyone can rationally dispose of wealth that has accidentally fallen on their heads. A family from Ufa who spontaneously bought a lottery ticket became the winner and received 29 million rubles. It would seem that now their life will change for the better and start from scratch. However, wealth turned the heads of the lucky ones, and they decided to celebrate this event. The spree dragged on for five years. True, they did not use all the funds for drinking, they bought two apartments in the city center for part. The rest was given to friends, paid off their loans and squandered. In 2006, a woman died of poverty and undermined by alcohol health.

The Moscow locksmith Yevgeny Sidorov managed to spend wisely the received winnings of 35 million. Once he bought for only 560 rubles. The man admits that he never had high hopes for Russian state lotteries. With this money, he went to his native village and opened a carp farm. With the rest of the money, he repaired the road, built a house and now lives for his own pleasure.

In 2013, a lucky man from Voronezh was able to ruin Russian lotteries by 47 million 300 thousand. Interestingly, the rate did not exceed 120 rubles. The man decided to fulfill the wishes of his family and friends. He fulfilled dreams until all the money ran out. With the remaining amount, he made repairs in his apartment. When asked why he did not radically change his life, the man replied that he believed in a second chance and would certainly win again.

In 2009, a resident of the Leningrad region hit the jackpot by guessing a combination of 6 numbers out of 45 options. Gosloto 6/45 changed the life of the lucky one. At that moment, when fortune turned to face him, he lived in a rented apartment and kept several food stalls.

After he was given a legitimate winnings, the man bought several apartments in the central part of St. Petersburg, an expensive premium car and invested in the construction of a hotel in the Krasnodar Territory. In addition, he carved out more than 10 million for friends and acquaintances. To date, travel abroad is closed for him, since he did not pay taxes on the winnings, amounting to almost 4.5 million. Part of the property was arrested by bailiffs, but the man does not give up his position and is not going to pay money. From a conversation with him, it is clear that he regrets such a distribution of the budget. If he could turn back time, he would have left for the United States with his family.

The name of another lucky winner was never found out. In 2014, a resident of Omsk became the owner of the amount of 184.5 million rubles. He spent about 800 on tickets and did not expect to win. For a long time they could not find him to give the winnings. Later it turned out that from such a shock, the man had stress, as a result of which he locked himself at home and did not talk to anyone. Surprisingly, the lucky man turned out to be very modest and asked not to publish his name. He plans to spend the winnings on a house by the sea.

Fabulous jackpots in Russian lotteries are rare, but Mikhail from Nizhny Novgorod managed to break the biggest jackpot at the end of 2014. He managed to take over 200 million rubles. He paid about 700 rubles for the tickets. He successfully manages to hide his millionaire status from friends and family. Only his name and city are known; no other information about him has been reported in the media.

Probably, there is no such person who has never experienced luck by playing the lottery in his life. Having bought a ticket for a hundred rubles, everyone becomes a potential millionaire. But luck is a capricious thing, and not everyone has ever won, and winning big prizes is the lot of a few.

Lotteries are played all over the world. In Russia, only 1-2% of the population participate in lotteries, for comparison: the share of players in France is 70% of the total population of the country, the USA - 63%. Such a small percentage of players in Russia is explained by the distrust of Russians in lotteries. But among these percentages there are also winners who hit large jackpots.

Most of the lucky ones try to remain anonymous and do not tell anyone about their winnings. And this, of course, is correct, because big money attracts many ill-wishers, as well as new and old friends, newly-made relatives. Below are the 7 biggest lottery wins in Russia.

Seventh place. A chidhood dream

On May 29, 2015, a 37-year-old resident of the Kaliningrad region won 126 million rubles in the 6 out of 45 lottery.

According to him, grandfather was very fond of lotteries, and when the drawing of prizes on TV began, everyone in the house fell silent.

According to the doctor himself, he checked the ticket six times and could not believe his luck, only by calling the call center of the lottery organizer, he was able to verify the victory. The winner himself is not new to lotteries, he has been playing for about 2 years using his winning formula.

The Voronezh pensioner said that she would spend this money on helping her children and grandchildren, and also donate part of the money to charity.

Money can not buy happiness

Big lottery wins in Russia and abroad did not bring only happiness to everyone, there are those for whom the win turned out differently.

In 2001, unemployed spouses from Ufa became winners in the Bingo Show lottery and won 29 million rubles. However, the win did not bring happiness. Spouses for 5 years spent the entire prize. But the main misfortune was the death of one of the winners due to alcohol abuse. According to one version, everything was facilitated by new relatives and friends who appeared out of nowhere, who asked for money for their needs and soldered the spouses.

The winner of the lottery "6 out of 45" Albert Begrakyan, a resident of the Leningrad region, who won 100 million rubles, after 2 years was left with debts to the state. Albert invested in real estate, expensive cars, land for the construction of a hotel, but ended up with a debt of 4.5 million rubles to the state.

In 2006, an incident worthy of any crime drama happened to one resident of the United States, Abraham Shakespeare. He had no time to win $ 30 million, as he had a lot of relatives. But the scammers are not left out. Shakespeare was approached by a lady who promised to help him manage his money properly. And she ordered: she transferred all the money to her account, and soon Shakespeare himself was found dead with two bullets in his chest.

Jack Whittaker was a prosperous businessman, family man, and philanthropist until he hit the big jackpot in 2002. Whittaker became addicted to alcohol, gambling, and abandoned his family. Within a few years, his entire fortune was spent, and the business collapsed.

Jackpots in world lotteries

But even the largest lottery winnings in Russia cannot be compared with the main prizes in the lotteries of the world. American lotteries are big fans of lotteries, because the largest jackpots are played on American lotteries, such as Powerball and Mega Millions. So, the largest lottery winnings in the world belong to:

1. On August 24, 2017, an American won over $758 million in the Powerball lottery. This is the biggest win of this lottery and the lotteries of the world, which fell on one ticket. An interesting feature of the lottery is that the prize can be received in parts over 29 years or taken immediately, but then the amount of the winnings will be significantly less (about 2 times).

2. On January 16, 2016, three Americans shared an all-time Powerball lottery win of $1.5 billion. The chance of winning was only 1 in 290 million.

3. In May 2014, a resident of the US state of Florida won the jackpot of the same Powerball lottery, which was 590 million US dollars.

How to win the lottery?

The question of how to win the lottery arises for all players. There is no definite way to win. Each winner has his own secret of success, but not everyone is ready to share it. Most argue that this is just luck and luck, others follow certain rules:

• They play with an expanded bet, i.e. choose more numbers than is possible in a normal bet. Of course, the expanded rate provides for more investments, but the chance of winning increases.
• They participate regularly in lotteries and use the same combination all the time. They are waiting for the selected combination to bring the long-awaited prize.
• They play with friends, the so-called lottery syndicate. In this case, a group of people buys as many tickets of one lottery as possible, and if they win, they divide everything in half.
• Various mathematical formulas are used.

There are those who believe in happy days, numbers, clothes, talismans. They buy tickets, choose numbers that are significant for themselves on the ticket, use various conspiracies to win.

The statistics of large lottery wins in Russia suggests that every year the number of their participants is growing, and so are the winnings. The probability of hitting the jackpot is negligible and depends on the specific lottery. For example, the opportunity to win in the Gosloto 5 out of 36 lottery is approximately 1 to 367 thousand, in the Gosloto 6 out of 45 lottery - 1 to 8 million, in the Russian Lotto - 1 to 7 million.

If this article inspired someone to buy a ticket, remember that the winning percentage is very small, play for fun, maybe you'll get lucky.

Dreams of receiving a large amount of money with a minimum of physical costs periodically arise for everyone. One option that can fulfill such desires is to buy a lottery ticket. However, the number of offers on the market today is so huge that it can be difficult to choose one. It is important not only to understand the conditions of the draw in which it is decided to participate. Of great importance is also the chance to become a winner. That is why many are trying to find the most winning lotteries in Russia.

Russian Lotto is the most honest lottery in Russia

Many Russians call the Russian Lotto the most honest lottery. For more than twenty years, millions of people from all over the country have been participating in the game. The popularity of Russian Lotto is due to a combination of several factors:

• simple rules that everyone can understand;
• holding a draw in front of a large number of people in the studio;
• lack of apparatus - the kegs are taken out of the bag by the guests of the draw.

To become a participant in one of the most popular lotteries in Russia, it is enough to buy a ticket and turn on the TV on the NTV channel at the appointed time. After that, it remains to listen carefully to the host, cross out the numbers that have fallen out in the playing field and hope for luck. In Russian Lotto, you can win not only fairly large cash prizes, but also a car, an apartment, a country house or a trip.

GOSLOTO 5 of 36

Since Soviet times, the popularity of lotteries in which you need to guess several numbers has not weakened. Gosloto 5 out of 36 is a new version of just such a game.

Today the ticket of this lottery contains two fields. In the first one, you need to mark at least five numbers, in the second - choose only one number out of four. At the same time, in order to provide yourself with the biggest chance to win, you can choose more numbers. In the first field, a maximum of eleven cells can be crossed out, in the second - four.

You can win by guessing at the top of the ticket from two numbers. If you managed to correctly cross out all five numbers that fell out in the draw, the size of the prize increases significantly. If at the same time the player guessed the number of the second field, he receives at least three million rubles. If the second field turned out to be incorrect, the minimum win is one hundred thousand rubles.

What type of lottery is better to choose?

Lotteries may differ in the way they are conducted. On this basis, two types are distinguished:

1. Circulation lottery- the prize fund is raffled between all participants, and the game is held at a time after the sale of lottery tickets on a certain date and time. According to Russian law, during the drawing, only one piece of equipment is allowed to determine the winning combination of numbers or symbols - in order to avoid fraud.
2. 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, the prize fund is often 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.
