Gosloto- systematically or at random? Which solution has more benefits? We will tell you how to play lotto to win. And what not to do so as not to lose your fortune.
The answer is simple - both the “system” game and filling out lotto coupons at random gives exactly the same chance of winning...
Proponents of lotto systems analyzing the results of thousands of draws might, of course, be right, but only if the drawing mechanism was unfair or flawed - for example, the balls in the randomization machine would have different weights, which changes the frequency of dialing. Otherwise, complex date and number comparisons make more or less as much sense as raw liver fortune telling.
Game systems discredit probability. The number of six-digit combinations in the lottery "" gives about 14 million combinations (8,145,060), and filling out a dozen or dozens of coupons does not significantly increase the chances of receiving a first-degree win. If we decide to devote a few months, we can really tick off all the combinations, but in addition to time, we need in addition a little more than 200 million rubles to pay for the tickets. Well, a good archivist will come in handy in order to find the correct ticket in time and receive the winnings... When replacing the winnings, we will not contribute much to the whole business, but only a few million or several tens of millions.

How does the lotto system work?
An attempt to discard incorrect sets of numbers is, in fact, the system of playing in Gosloto. If we can't come up with our own, we can easily buy a ready-made system on the Internet or through newspaper advertisements. There is only a small question - is anyone who owns a tool for easily receiving prizes in Gosloto actually selling their discovery? random people for a few hundred rubles?
All sets of numbers have the same chance of being drawn; a series of six consecutive numbers is no less likely than any other bet, although we reflexively find it surprising.
It must be remembered that the lottery organizer is not charitable organization, and allocates about half of the proceeds from the sale of bets to winnings; thus, the only real winner who gets half the pot each week is the lotto itself. The rest of the players can only rely on luck...

"The Lottery Paradox"
It is quite expected (and philosophically verifiable [English]) that this particular ticket will not win, but one cannot expect that no ticket will win” (“Academics”, List of Paradoxes, http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf /ruwiki/165304).
“The paradox of the lottery (such as sports lotto)
Most lottery players (in which the winnings are distributed among all the winners, as in sports lotto) usually do not bet on “too symmetrical” combinations, although all combinations are equally possible. The reason is simple. Players know from experience that, as a rule, non-symmetrical combinations win. In fact, it is more profitable to bet on the most symmetrical combinations precisely because... Why?" (excerpts from the book: G. Szekely. Paradoxes in probability theory and mathematical statistics. M.: Mir. - 1990, http://arbuz.uz/t_paradox.html).
SOLUTION
Everyone has played some kind of game in their life, not necessarily gambling, which is, in one way or another, related to probability. And if someone didn’t play, they probably tossed a coin a couple of times in their life. Just like that, for fun or when solving some issue on which it turned out to be overwhelming or impossible to make a choice on one’s own. And I did the same thing as a child. But even then, some doubt crept into my head about the correctness of justifying my choice of solutions to even trivial issues by tossing a coin. Apparently, even then I did not want to entrust my own right of choice to blind chance. But not so much because I can choose myself the best option right now and just for myself, but more because such a choice will not be fair. So fair that without any further thought or internal hesitation I could accept it and act in accordance with this choice. And then I completely stopped further attempts at making decisions in such a simple way when my fears were confirmed while watching one of the popular Indian films that took place here in the 80s. If I'm not mistaken, it was the film "Revenge and Law." In it, one of the main characters, making a choice of something, tossed a coin with a serious look. And everything would have been fine, but only when he was shot after all, and he gave his “lucky coin”, it turned out that it had two identical sides. Apparently, this hero has well learned the first rule of success: if you want to win at a casino, become its owner.
To the question of the problem given by Székely in his book about why it is MORE PROFITABLE to choose symmetrical options for the geometric arrangement of numbers on the card field, the answer is not so complicated. The conclusion follows based on three conditions:
1) all options: both symmetrical and asymmetrical are equally probable;
2) most players choose asymmetrical options;
3) the amount of winnings received depends on the number of: a) participants, b) winners (by winning categories, of course);
Therefore, from the point of view of benefit, that is, increase possible profit when guessing, symmetric options will be guessed by a much smaller number of players with the same number of participants in the lottery, and the winning amount will be divided among a much smaller number of winners.
But on the other hand, if everything were that simple, then there would be no difficulties in determining the probability of certain events. And there are no fewer paradoxes and various paradoxical problems in probability theory, or even much more, than in other branches of science (in the same mathematics, logic, physics). For example, this task.
"The Dice Paradox"
A fair die, when thrown, has an equal chance of landing on any of the sides 1,2,3,4,5 or 6. (The sum of the points on opposite sides is 7, i.e. falling on 1 means rolling a 6, etc.) .
In the case of throwing 2 dice, the sum of the numbers drawn is between 2 and 12. Both 9 and 10 can be obtained by two different ways: 9 = 3 + 6 = 4 + 5 and 10 = 4 + 6 = 5 + 5. In the three-dice problem, both 9 and 10 are obtained in six ways. Why then does 9 appear more often when two dice are thrown, and 10 when three are thrown? (excerpts from the book: G. Szekely. Paradoxes in probability theory and mathematical statistics. M.: Mir. - 1990, http://arbuz.uz/t_paradox.html)."
There is no paradox in this problem. The paradox, or rather the trick, is hidden in incomplete information: the number of possible combinations is greater than indicated. Because only the types of options are indicated, the methods of composition that need to be distributed over the number of bones.
The answer is simple: 9 appears more often when two dice are rolled, and 10 when three dice are rolled, because the probability of rolling a total of 9 with two dice is greater than the probability of rolling a total of 10 with three dice, which reflects the ratio of the number of options compilation of these amounts.
Number of options for summing up:
A. 9 on two dice: 3+6 (2 possible options, that is, on the first 3 on the second 6 and vice versa) and 4+5 (2 options). Total: 4 options
10 on two dice: 4+6 (2 var.) and 5+5 (1 var.). Total: 3 options
The odds ratio is in favor of the sum 9.
B. 9 on three dice: 1+2+6 (6 varieties), 1+3+5 (6 varieties), 1+4+4 (3 varieties), 2+2+5 (3 varieties) , 2+3+4 (6 var.), 3+3+3 (1 var.). Total: 25 options
10 on three dice: 1+3+6 (6 options), 1+4+5 (6 options), 2+2+6 (3 options), 2+3+5 (6 options), 2 +4+4 (3 options), 3+3+4 (3 options), 4+4+2 (3 options) Total: 30 options
The odds ratio favors the sum of 10.
Why does the probability of events give rise to so many contradictions?
I may be wrong, but in my opinion, even mathematicians, not to mention those who are not at all familiar with the theory of probability, are captive of one false initial premise about the probability distribution. This is the idea that events occur only according to their probability, without taking into account the distribution of probability over time. Life does not always go according to calculated patterns and exactly as it is described mathematically. A reflection of this two-facedness: mathematical calculation and at the same time not a coincidence with it, is given in the following paradox.
THE PARADOX OF BERNOULLI'S LAW OF LARGE NUMBERS
“The ratio of heads or tails to the total number of attempts with a large number of throws tends to 1/2. Some players believe that with a series of heads, the probability of landing tails increases. And at the same time, the coins have no memory, they do not know the previous throws, and each time the probability of heads or tails falling out is 1/2. Even if before that 1000 coats of arms fell in a row. Doesn’t this contradict Bernoulli’s law?” (excerpts from the book: G. Szekely. Paradoxes in probability theory and mathematical statistics. M.: Mir. - 1990, http://arbuz.uz/t_paradox.html).
Bernoulli's law of large numbers
“Let a sequence of independent trials be carried out, as a result of each of which event A may or may not occur, and the probability of the occurrence of this event is the same for each trial and is equal to p. If event A actually occurred m times in n trials, then the ratio m/n is called, as we know, the frequency of occurrence of event A. Frequency is a random variable, and the probability that the frequency takes the value m/n is expressed by Bernoulli’s formula ...
The law of large numbers in Bernoulli form is as follows: with a probability arbitrarily close to unity, it can be stated that with a sufficiently large number of experiments, the frequency of occurrence of event A differs as little as desired from its probability, i.e....
...in other words, with an unlimited increase in the number n of experiments, the frequency m/n of event A converges in probability to P(A)" (Theory of Probability, §5. 3. Bernoulli's Law of Large Numbers. , http://www.toehelp.ru/ theory/ter_ver/5_3)
Thus, from the contradictions contained in these paradoxes, a general problem can be formulated.
Controversies:
1. The paradox of the lottery - the probability of winning a specific ticket is negligible, but the probability of winning any ticket is 1, that is, 100 percent;
2. The paradox of Bernoulli's law of large numbers - the probability of getting any option is equivalent, but in reality it should change as some options get out more to bring the probability to balance.
The problem, in my opinion, lies in a misunderstanding of the uneven distribution of probability over the number of options or, in other words, the dependence of the probability of one option of an event on another in a time context.
No one will argue that the sum of the probabilities of the event options is equal to one. But why does everyone think that the distribution among options is even? This approach completely ignores the variability of the world over time. And the same sides of the coin must then strictly alternate in turn: heads, tails, heads, tails. Then the probability distribution calculated by the formula will completely coincide with the actual one FOR ANY SPECIFIC TIME PERIOD. Because within this time period, the number of drops different options will be the same. But in reality this is not the case. Within individual periods, the probability of each event option varies from 0 to 1 (from zero to one hundred percent). For example, when out of ten times, heads come up all ten times (or red, if it’s roulette in a casino). I know of a case where the roulette wheel came up black 15 times in a row. From the point of view of calculating probability, this is generally impossible if we take it as a unit, that is, the sum of all possible options, for example, 20 drops, which include these fifteen. And this, by the way, continuing the thought, for some reason did not lead to the next fifteen drops of red. Players call such hits in a row as streaks. Series are observed in sports, and in general everywhere.
Would you say that Bernoulli's law describes periods with large, "unlimited numbers of experiences" and within these limits it is true? Then why shouldn’t the same coin fall out first 1000 times on one side in a row, and then a thousand times on the other? After all, the law in this case is not violated one bit? In reality this does not happen. In fact, any long series of occurrences of two possible variants of events (A and B, which can be replaced, for example, by “heads” and “tails”) will closely correspond to the pattern of occurrences:
A, B, A, B, AAA, B, AA, BB, AA, BBBBBBB, AA, BBB, A, BBBBBBB, AAA, B, AA, BB, A, B, AAAA, B, AA, BBB, AAAA, B, A, B, A... (30 A and B each, 60 in total).
As you can see, within each specific segment (fallout periods or time periods) there are unevennesses. And the duration of the “series” of occurrences of one option a) in a row and b) within a period (for example, 10 occurrences) may fluctuate. Theoretically, the amplitude of such oscillations is not limited by anything, but there are no practically unlimited duration series. That is, there is a certain limit to which the duration of the “series,” its “length,” increases. These two restrictions regulate the balance of the probability of event options: firstly, the variability of options within an arbitrary period (time), in other words, the change in the “length” of series from 1 to several repetitions in a row, and secondly, the limitation of the length and frequency of series in within an arbitrary period (time). This achieves a variety of events, variability.
This probability distribution is noted by players who choose asymmetrical options for the arrangement of numbers on a lottery card. They do not proceed from an equal probability distribution for the number of numbers, that is, their equally possible occurrence, but precisely from an uneven probability distribution over the numbers. For some reason, the same numbers have not yet appeared, not only in two draws in a row, but in the mass of all draws. I can say this with confidence based on studying the “Sportloto 5 out of 36” lottery, which has been running for decades. For two draws in a row, a maximum of 1 number from the previous draw will appear (quite often - about a quarter of the draws), 2 (in isolated cases), 3 (in rarer cases). According to the theory of probability, someday all five numbers would come out the same for two draws in a row. But this would take thousands of years, even if the circulations were held every day instead of once a week. This follows if we assume that the total number of possible options in the “Sportloto 5 out of 36” lottery (36 * 35 * 34 * 33 * 32 / 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5) = 376.992, and repeat five numbers of the previous draw will occur no earlier than all possible options have been drawn at least once, which will happen when conducting 1 draw per day, taking into account leap years for: 376.992 / (365 * 4 + 1) * 4 = 1032.1478 ~ 1032 of the year. But even after a complete search of all possible options in a row, two identical editions may not appear for several thousand years, and perhaps never.
Therefore, I absolutely agree with players choosing the most frequently dropped, asymmetrical options. Because waiting for the option to appear, for example, from the film “Sportloto - 82” with M. Pugovkin and M. Kokshenov - 1,2,3,4,5,6 is simply unrealistic. You might as well wait for rain on Mars.
I will add that, having fixed the probability distribution in a certain way, I saw that the types of options similar to those given from the film make up an insignificant fraction of a percent of all other types, classes of options that appear, and according to the theory of probability they are equally possible.
The paradox of the lottery arises due to the fact that the probability of winning each specific ticket separately, that is, any one, is negligible, tending to zero, but the probability of winning any one specific ticket is one hundred percent. Because the probability of specific numbers appearing in a specific draw is distributed unequally among all options. Roughly speaking, one hundred percent of the probability is divided not into the entire mass of tickets, but into two parts - all the winners (that is, one, for simplicity) and all the losers (all the rest). Thus, everyone and no one has a chance to win. Because it is impossible to know WHICH ticket will win, but we know in advance that SOME ONE ticket will win (without going into details of the number of winners and winning conditions).
At this point, no matter how funny it may seem, the correctness of “female logic” becomes obvious, which claims that the probability of a meteorite falling on Red Square is not one in several million, but fifty to fifty - either it will fall or not.
Apparently, such a famous mathematician as Poincare held a similar opinion to mine. “Poincaré once remarked sarcastically that everyone believes in the universality of the normal distribution: physicists believe because they think that mathematicians have proven its logical necessity, and mathematicians believe because they believe that physicists have verified it with laboratory experiments” (De Moivre’s Paradox , excerpts from the book: G. Szekely. Paradoxes in probability theory and mathematical statistics. M.: Mir - 1990, http://arbuz.uz/t_paradox.html).
That is, the lottery paradox arises due to an incorrect initial premise - the probability distribution is not uniform within a particular period, but variable. And if we take one circulation for a separate period, then ALL possible options CANNOT appear in it, but only ONE will appear. Therefore, the contradictory understanding of probability disappears: the probability of the absolute majority of options appearing will be equal to zero, and only the probability of one option will be equal to one.
There are no contradictory conditions in the lottery paradox:
1) only one option appears in a particular draw out of all possible ones (one ticket wins);
2) there are many more possible options.
Consequently, the probability of expecting to win only ONE of all possible options (tickets) tends to one, and the probability of expecting to win ALL REMAINING ONE options (tickets) tends to zero.
There is also no contradiction in Bernoulli's paradox of large numbers:
1) the probability of getting one of the possible options is half – 0.5;
2) the expectation of a change in the probability of the second of the possible options falling out after a series of falling out of the first one changes.
Consequently, the probability of the event as a whole does not change, that is, the sum of the probabilities of the options remains the same, but within a single period, especially if it is incomparably small in relation to the sum of all possible periods of occurrences, the probability changes, which is reflected in the expectations of the players.
Try to prove to the winner a large sum that the probability of this was infinitesimal. Moreover, try to prove this to several or thousands of such people. The probability of even being born was absolutely negligible for some, but, nevertheless, it happened.
Many compare the impossibility of winning to the possibility of a meteorite falling on one's head or being struck by lightning. Try to prove that this is impossible, because the probability of this is infinitely small, to those affected by them. Like, for example, a woman who was healed from a lightning strike: “A unique case was recorded in the Serbian city of Slivovica, reports the DELFI portal. Lightning hit 51-year-old Nada Akimovich, who previously suffered from arrhythmia. However, as a result of exposure to a powerful discharge electric current the disease has passed” (Lightning strike healed a woman/Dni.ru, 23:23 / 07/10/2009, http://www.dni.ru/incidents/2009/7/10/170321.html) – or to a boy from Germany: “ ...The chance of being hit by a meteorite is 1 in a hundred million... "First I saw a large fireball, and then suddenly I felt pain in my arm." (A German boy was hit by a meteorite / MIGnews.com, 06/14/2009, 02:42,
Thus, THERE IS NO CONTRADOX IN THE LOTTERY PARADOX, JUST IN THE PARADOX OF BERNOULLI'S LARGE NUMBERS.

Reviews
"The chance of being hit by a meteorite is 1 in a hundred million... A German boy was hit by a meteorite." The example is not identical to winning the lottery, since it is not at all clear where the ratio “1 to one hundred million” comes from.
If we talk about the lottery, then, let’s say for Israel, winning the first prize is 1 in 18 million. The person who won knows that his chance was negligible, but he sees that people win at least once every month or two, and therefore, even “knowing”, he does not realize the “smallness” of his chance. The catch is that the chance is small only for a specific person, but for the country as a whole, with a population of 6 million, it is very logical to win one of 10-20 games (not everyone plays, but each player can fill out more than one form).
A classic scenario, as in the birthday paradox.
As for the numbers - not for me, I took the quote. And it’s not so important, in theory, that the numbers may not be entirely accurate, the main thing is that they illustrate the idea - even very rare events have happened, are happening and will always happen. Therefore, I think the example is still identical.
Yes, you yourself pleased with the numbers, Dmitry. Speaking about Israel, in purely Jewish terms, they reduced the country’s size a little, maybe by a couple of million :) And then why did you decide that the main prize is won “once or twice a month.” This is out of the blue, sorry. And don’t think that people are all stupid, that they don’t understand the insignificance of chance. They understand! But the costs are insignificant compared to the profit, just as the chance of winning is insignificant. So there is, one might say, a balance here. And some people actually win all their lives! I recently read about a woman who, after a health misfortune, began playing every quiz and lottery available. So her whole apartment is littered with various prizes. The guy often won Russian lotto from 1-2 tickets, when others received nothing even from a pack or two. I myself participated in the lottery at the presentation, where the 1st main prize - a computer - was won by a woman who bought a computer, that is, she had only 1 ticket-receipt. And the second prize - a monitor - was won by the guy who bought the monitor, also with the 1st ticket-check. There were a hundred or two people. However, fraud is also possible here, which is not uncommon in our country.
Well, there is no paradox. For one person, the probability of winning tends to zero, and for a country, it approaches one hundred percent. This is my conclusion. I talked about birthdays, but it is completely inadequate for this, as far as I remember. Suffice it to remember how they recruit for classrooms.
“they reduced the country’s population by a couple of million... why did you decide that the main prize is won “once or twice a month”. This is out of the blue, excuse me...” - about the number you are right, due to my mistake I was using data for 2000, but about the “from the ceiling” - you’re wrong. It just so happened that for almost 5 years I worked as the head of the computer department of the Israeli lottery and all statistics went through the database I managed. The number of known users is updated every 10 years (so the data is from 2000), but the winnings and the number of winners with their amounts (even if it is only 10 shekels) are recorded twice a week. So this is not an assumption, but a statement.
“And don’t think that people are all stupid, that they don’t understand the insignificance of the chance” - I didn’t say that. My quote: “even knowing,” he does not realize the “smallness” of his chance.” A person is not able to comprehend very large or very small numbers, i.e. It is important for him to walk 10 km or 20 km, but the distance to the moon is 380 thousand or 400 thousand does not matter - he is simply not able to realize this, since he himself does not personally operate with such distances.
The odds can easily be reduced from 18 million to 1 to 9 million to 1 by just buying two tickets. A person imagines this as an incredible advancement. And it’s not about stupidity, but about awareness. In my memory, it’s rare... VERY RARELY that a person buys JUST ONE column in the lotto, precisely for this reason: to double, triple,...-10 times the chance. Although essentially it doesn't matter.
Ahh.. so it’s you Systematism and someone else there, then, sir? ok:) By the way, you didn’t respond to one of my old reviews, and God bless you. I forgot myself.
AS: having read to the words “for almost 5 years I worked as the head of the computer department of the Israeli...”, the reader automatically added “intelligence” and, either hiccupping or giggling, swallowed convulsively...#:-0))
As for increasing your chances: if you take 1-2 tickets, then count the increase as zero. If you start to really increase, the game will be at a loss, because there is no guarantee that everything will pay off in the end.

One way to earn a large sum of money quickly is to win the lottery. Although this activity is associated with great risk, however, if you analyze the rules of the game and identify the main trends, you can develop winning strategies. Also, to win you need faith in success and a little luck. According to mathematical statistics, winning the lottery is possible. Any ticket purchased anywhere can win. In gaming, there is a term “distance”, which shows how quickly a person can receive a reward. The point is that you can try your luck in the game for as long as you like (from several days to several months). It is impossible to predict exactly when the jackpot will occur, since all tickets have the same probability of winning. That is, both a beginner and a pro can get money. In addition, many players believe in special conspiracies, spells, lucky numbers, with which you can get into a winning streak. Stories of people associated with their successful use are demonstrated in literary works, TV series and films. Of course, the importance of faith in special signs and one’s own strengths is difficult to overestimate. But any player also counts on basic mathematical statistics and probability theory.
Which lottery has the best chance of winning?
Today there are a large number of lotteries on the market. For beginners, it is best to start with the most famous and largest domestic lotteries with simple and transparent rules. Namely:- The larger the draw, the easier it is to win. You can participate in Russian lotteries without intermediaries.
- choose certain numbers and write them down on the ticket or cross them off the list; receive a company card with the participant’s serial number.
Secrets of Guaranteed Wins
There are a lot of strategies. They are all built on basic principles winning. First, you need to decide on a specific game. Secondly, you need to collect statistics on winning numbers in the lottery. Professionals advise indicating at least one of the winning numbers in the previous game on the new ticket. You need to play the lottery constantly. The likelihood of winning a large sum in a major lottery is small. In order not to miss your chance, you should buy tickets as often as possible. Try it different games. Even if you have developed a strategy for a specific game or simply prefer a particular game for some other reason, it is still worth testing your strategy in other lotteries from time to time.
How to guess the numbers in the lottery - 7 out of 49 winning probability theory
The domestic lottery “Gosloto 7 out of 49” attracts players with a large super prize. A person who guesses 7 numbers will receive 50 million rubles. To calculate the probability of winning in this and any other lottery, you can use a formula from combinatorics. To do this, you need to find a combination of k elements (in our case 7) from n data (out of 47): The probability of receiving a prize in Gosloto is:Lotteries in which you can actually win a large sum
It is better for beginners to start training on domestic lotteries. It will be easier for the winners to claim their prize or cash reward. The most popular in Russia are:- Lotto “6 out of 49”; "Keno"; Gosloto; “Golden Key”; Russian Lotto; Housing Lottery.
Russian Lotto - secrets of the game
Russian lotto is the simplest and exciting game, which is liked by millions of Russians. During its existence, players managed to find out some secrets:- Potential winnings come from the balance of even and odd numbers. The ratio of small and large numbers must also be observed. Ideally, you need the same number of numbers ending in the same number. If 90 numbers are played, then the probability of numbers associated with 45 being drawn increases sharply. The probability of winning is very high. According to the results of each draw, 3-5 numbers out of 90 remain unused. That is, to receive a prize you need to buy at least 3 tickets and not use the same combinations in each of them.
Calculate winnings in SuperLoto, Stoloto or StateLoto
The chance of getting the jackpot in EuroMillions is 1:116 million, and in Gosloto “5 out of 36” it is 1:376,992. Every ticket buyer can become lucky. You just need to know how to calculate the winning combination of numbers. Method 1 “Statistical” Typically, state lotteries provide detailed statistics for each ticket draw. Information on the organizers' website is updated daily:- statistics on frequent combinations - in the last 10 draws, throughout the history of the game; rare numbers; common pairs of numbers; common numbers in the first rounds of lotteries; archive of all lotteries.
What are the best lottery tickets to buy to win?
Professionals advise buying scratch lotteries. The chance of winning in them is 1:5. That is, by purchasing 5 tickets you will have a chance to receive a prize once. Or play in groups. Then expenses and prizes will have to be divided equally. Superstitious lottery winners claim that you need to buy the ticket that your hand reaches at the kiosk. It’s even better if, before buying a ticket, you have a dream foreshadowing an unexpected profit.Is it possible to win the jackpot?
In the history of any major lottery there are lucky ones who managed to hit the jackpot at least once. The stories of these people confirm that you need to find the right game, study strategies for making money and learn how to choose the right combinations. Numerous research results have proven that:- There is always a chance of winning for any ticket purchased anywhere. There is no 100% winning strategy. The probability of any ball falling out of the lottery machine is uniform. There is no way to increase the probability of guessing the numbers.

Let's figure out how realistic it is to win the lottery, what are the chances of winning and how many lucky people in Russia are there who hit the jackpot.
Is it possible to win the lottery?
People are divided into two types: those who do not play the lottery and those who play it. The former are of the opinion that the organizers always win, but the chances of winning a large sum of money for each individual player are so small that it is not worth even trying. The latter buy lottery tickets regularly or from time to time and believe that all players still have a chance of winning, so anyone who buys a randomly selected lottery ticket at any time can get rich. official point their distribution.
There are many lotteries in Russia, and their popularity continues unabated precisely because victory does not cost the player who hits the jackpot anything except a very small (literally symbolic) amount of money. The lottery business brings in huge profits, which is why it is controlled by the state. It is quite possible to win the lottery and receive your prize. The main thing is that the company involved in its distribution is well-known and has been operating successfully for a sufficiently long period of time.
Types of lotteries
In order not to waste your money on scammers, you should give preference to well-known domestic lotteries - this way you can easily purchase a ticket and, if you win, receive everything you are due from it. Those who prefer foreign lotteries have to use the services of intermediaries, who may turn out to be unscrupulous.
There are two main types of lotteries: instant and draw. Each of these types has its own advantages and a large number of supporters.
Instant
Instant lotteries are extremely simple: you buy a ticket and, by erasing the special protective coating on it (or unfolding the ticket), you will immediately find out whether it is a winner or not. You can often receive the small amount you are entitled to (or a real prize) right at the place where you purchased the ticket. If you win a large sum in an instant lottery, you will have to spend several days to receive the money you are entitled to.
circulation
Draw lotteries are divided into two types: in one, players are given the right to choose numbers from a limited list, and in the second, participants are given tickets with numbers already on them. In any case, luck smiles on the one who has the lucky number determined during the drawing. Such drawings are held regularly (usually at the same time) and broadcast on television.
How to win a large sum of money in the lottery?
When playing the lottery, where, when and how you buy a ticket will not affect the amount you win. Therefore, in order to win a large sum of money, you can use any approach to selecting and purchasing tickets that seems worthy of attention to you. The most well-known approaches are listed below.
Psychological factor
In draw lotteries, where the players themselves are asked to choose the sequence of numbers, not only the laws of probability theory are triggered, but also those of psychology. Since people tend to think stereotypically, they prefer some numbers more or less than others (for example, 7 and 13). Since you still can’t predict which numbers will come up, try to guess which ones other players bet on the least. If the unpopular numbers you have chosen come up, the size of your prize will be much larger, since in lotteries the reward amount is distributed among all players who bet on the lucky sequence of numbers.
Lottery syndicate
The lottery syndicate is a great approach to purchasing lottery tickets, invented by experienced players. This method consists in the fact that a group of people united by common interests regularly chip in money in order to purchase as many lottery tickets as possible.
As a result, if no ticket wins, it turns out that each person in the group spent very little money to try their luck. If you win, the amount is divided equally between all participants of the lottery syndicate, regardless of which of them offered to bet on the winning combination of numbers (sometimes quite decent amounts are obtained). Using this approach allows you to actually increase (from a mathematical point of view) the chances of winning in proportion to the number of tickets purchased.
Circulation
Those who dream of winning a large sum and at the same time rely entirely on luck will find the multi-circulation approach convenient. In this case, you need to choose any one sequence of numbers allowed by the rules of the game and bet on it every time you buy a lottery ticket. This will allow you not to bother yourself with numbers and spend a minimum of time playing the lottery.
Distribution circulation
A distribution draw is a drawing in which the main cash prize is divided among all the winners. In this case, the likelihood of receiving a very large amount compared to the usual circulation increases significantly. Therefore, to increase your chances of winning, it is worth buying more tickets than usual for distribution draws.
Expanded rate
An expanded bet is a method that is only suitable for lotteries where participants themselves are given the right to cross out the numbers. For example, in the “5 out of 36” lottery, a player who wants to make an expanded bet can cross out not 5, but 6 or more numbers in one field. In this case, the chances of winning and the size of the cash prize in case of guessing the winning sequence of numbers increase significantly. But it should be taken into account that the ticket price increases significantly (when crossing out 6 numbers instead of 5, it increases 6 times, since 6 different combinations are obtained).
