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 a lucky 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.

  1. Nikolai from Novosibirsk, who works as a doctor, was able to win a 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.
  2. 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!
  3. 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 closes the top three largest 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 different numbers always fall out at random. However, some facts can be noted.

3 rules that have helped many winners:

  1. You need to choose reliable lottery organizers who are known to everyone (in a good way);
  2. 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);
  3. 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.

Lotteries today are incredibly popular and there are reasons for this. Firstly, this is the easiest way to get easy money. Secondly, the minimum risk, since the cost of the ticket is insignificant or varies within reasonable limits. Thirdly, everyone wants to check how he is a favorite of fortune.
