A little about lotteries

In numerical lotteries, a single simple combination is equally probable and is “a single indivisible entity.” In other words, in the space of a complete array, all elements (mentally imagine “cubes”) have the same size, therefore, there are no priority individual combinations. It is impossible to single out “universal combinations” in the entire array that will “always” play better than others, since the lottery machine or circulation generator is equally likely! What is most striking is that even many experienced players do not understand this.

Equally probable distribution of played combinations –
simple proof #1

Let's move on to the most natural statistics in numerical lotteries - combinatorial. To do this, you need to translate all the winning combinations, for example, in the lottery 5 out of 36, into their serial number (index) in the full array. A scatter plot of the distribution of these combinations in the space of the full array can then be plotted, while respecting the interval and location in the circulation history. Each point on this graph represents a combination that actually played in the space of the full array. Since each individual combination is distributed equally likely throughout the entire array, we can divide this space into equal parts (sectors).

Let's divide the full array of 376992 combinations,
let's say - into 12 equal parts - sectors
- 31416 combinations.

All combinations that actually played on this moment in lottery 5 out of 36
(equiprobable distribution), selected sector - any

Let's count the number of matches of each sector over the last 500 draws.
On average, there will be approximately the same number of hits of a combination in any sector - 41 times.
The chance of any sector to match is 376,992/31416 = 1 time in 12 draws (average)
For 500 draws, any sector will play 500/ 12 = 41 times (average) or 4 times for 50 draws or 2 times for 25
If the combination plays in the selected sector, then the chance of the jackpot increases 12 times for one simple combination from this sector, and will be equal to 1 in 31416. If we have 10 combinations in the game, then 1 in 3141.

What is a single combination?

Let's see what a single combination is using the example of lottery 5 out of 36. There are 376,992 such combinations in this lottery. Each combination has its own serial number in the full array (index - cell).

First combination (000001) = 01-02-03-04-05 ...
Last combination (376992) = 32-33-34-35-36 = 376992 pieces

000001 _ 01-02-03-04-05
000002 _ 01-02-03-04-06
000003 _ 01-02-03-04-07
000004 _ 01-02-03-04-08
…….
…….
…….
002024 _ 01-02-07-11-30
002025 _ 01-02-07-11-31
002026 _ 01-02-07-11-32
…….
…….
174078 _ 04-21-25-32-34
174079 _ 04-21-25-32-35
…….
376992 _ 32-33-34-35-36

Absolutely any combination in the full array is no different from others in terms of the probability of a match.
To better understand this, you need to imagine 376,992 individual lottery balls, with all 376,992 combinations labeled.
It is difficult to imagine such a quantity, much less fit it into a picture; I will show only a few balls out of 376,992 pieces.

Let's do a thought experiment- let's place these balls in a huge lottery machine, which throws out only one ball with the combination indicated on this ball for each draw. We should not forget that after each draw, the dropped ball with the combination indicated on it is thrown back into the same lottery drum. Thus, for the next draw, all combinations will be in place again, and when the lottery machine starts, they will be mixed equally with everyone else.

If it is difficult to imagine the option with balls, then let’s try to imagine a huge roulette wheel, where each ball cell represents a combination. There are 376,992 such cells, since such a lined wheel also cannot fit into the picture, so for a general understanding we will draw only a tiny part with combinations - we have highlighted the initial and final ones.

Take a closer look at the picture - the “wheel” is divided into equal cells(equally probable combinations), and the ball (draw generator) can fall into any hole (cell - index), no matter how we designated these cells (even with pictures). After the draw (spin), the wheel does not decrease - all cells remain in place.

• Note: I would like to draw your attention once again - I am writing about a whole simple single combination. For each individual combination (cell), the meaning of any even, odd, sums, intervals between numbers, repetitions, consecutive numbers, etc. is completely lost - since the combination is a single whole and denotes a cell (index) in the full array, and their huge quantity.

We can trace only individual areas of the array (sectors, ranges, groups of numbers) for the upcoming games, therefore, we will increase our chances of winning the main prize (in individual draws) tens and even hundreds of times. Depends on which sector (array, range) we guess.

Equal distribution
combinations played - simple proof No. 2

Let's take an example of 24 numbers (lottery 6 out of 45), chosen at random.

Let's calculate the probability of complete and partial coincidence on real story circulations in a simplified manner (simple calculation, and quite accurate for a large number of circulations), then we use the special HYPERGEOMET function, which is present in electronic Excel tables. This is a statistical function that can be used to calculate the probability of a complete or partial match.

(click to enlarge)

2311 lottery draws 6-45 have been loaded.

1. One match showed in 128 draws
2311/128 = 1 to 18.1.
HYPERGEOMET = 1 to 16.6.

2. Two matches showed in 472 circulations
2311/472 = 1 to 4.9
HYPERGEOMET = 1 to 4.9

3. Three matches were shown in 754 circulations.
2311/754 = 1 to 3.1
HYPERGEOMET =1 to 3.02

4. Four matches were shown in 659 circulations.
2311/659 = 1 to 3.5
HYPERGEOMET = 1 to 3.6

5. Five matches were shown in 249 circulations.
2311/249 = 1 to 9.3
HYPERGEOMET = 1 to 9.12

6. Six matches were shown in 37 runs.
2311/37 = 1 to 62.5
HYPERGEOMET = 1 to 60.51

As you can see, the probability of complete and partial coincidence almost completely coincides with the calculated values. This means that the lottery generator produces combinations with equal probability. When generating or manually marking any markers, the values ​​will differ slightly, but they will be close to the theoretical ones. The more circulation history is loaded, the closer the result. Due to the fact that the circulation in the archive is catastrophically small, we use groups of numbers of sufficient length.

From the uniform (equiprobable) distribution, another conclusion follows: it doesn’t matter which numbers are included in the group of numbers - even, odd, top part playing field or bottom and so on. The only thing that matters is the number of numbers in the group, on which the probability directly depends. We look at the screenshot - 18 numbers of markers are marked - random, top, even.

(click to enlarge)

There are no significant differences in the intensity of the coincidence of 5 numbers.
In other words, the circulation generator pays attention to any marked markers evenly, no matter what you “draw” on the playing field. Sometimes they “advise” to play with so-called “pieces” - this will not change anything in terms of the probability of a match - any “piece” will play with the same frequency as a “non-piece”...

Now we know for sure - any marked group of numbers, in equal numbers, has the same probability of coincidence. Why? Because it is made up of equally probable simple combinations. In this case, how can we even understand which group may be more likely to play in the coming games?

Strategic combination generators for numerical lotteries

When you realize that a particular combination is equally likely,
then some people have complete confusion - regarding common statistics :)

For example, why “even-odd” is played in the “majority” in a certain proportion, or why “sum” plays in the middle range and more. It turns out that the combinations seem to be not equally probable? This question is easy to answer, precisely after fully realizing that a single combination is equally probable. So why do combinations seem to “love to play” in certain proportions, ranges, amounts - if they are equally probable?

• Because we “select” arrays of equally probable single combinations with this information. It is important to know here how many combinations obtained in dedicated sectors. Arrays of combinations, highlighted with statistical information - contain different quantities equally probable combinations, therefore, these arrays have different probability for a coincidence.

Let's look at the example of statistics
even, odd numbers

• Let's try to understand one of the popular tips when choosing a combination:
  choose combinations that contain an equal number of even and odd numbers

Let's figure out why this happens. In lottery 5 out of 36, the most common odds and evens will look like this: 2 even – 3 odd, or 3 even – 2 odd. We count the number (even - odd) of all possible combinations in the lottery 5 out of 36

To better understand why a lottery machine or circulation generator random numbers tries to throw out such combinations of numbers in combinations, let’s turn for clarity to the roulette wheel, which is nothing more than an equally probable random number generator, unless, of course, it’s skewed :)

Let's distribute all combinations according to the even-odd criterion together, and according to the table,
Let's draw a circular graph - imagine that these are marked sectors on a roulette wheel

Mentally add the largest sectors that contain 124848 combinations together = 124848 pieces (2 even - 3 odd) + 124848 pieces (3 odd - 2 even) = 249696 combinations out of 376992 possible, or 66.23%, or the chance of these two sectors is 376992/ 249696 = 1 to 1.5 for each spin (draw) or approximately 33 numbers out of 36.

That is why, with each test (roulette spin) of a lottery machine or draw generator, combinations from this sector will tend, in most cases, to play in an odds ratio of 2-3 or 3-2.

• IN in this example plays not a separate combination– here a dedicated “huge sector” with combinations plays, in other words, we have marked approximately 33 numbers out of 36, naturally, almost always this number of numbers will “catch” all the prize money!

Why parity in combinations like 2-3 or 3-2? Everything is explained by the costs of the decimal system, which encodes the whole combination. Each individual whole (complete) combination simply represents a cell of 376,992 pieces. Recall the thought experiment with balls, in which the combination is indicated as a whole, or an example with a roulette wheel, where each combination simply designates a cell and is indivisible. But how we select the array of combinations does not matter. It’s just convenient to follow these signs (even-odd) for part of the array - the sector.

If we generate any random combinations for the same number of combinations (2469696 pieces), regardless of these proportions in general, then nothing will change in terms of the probability of matching the resulting array (sector) (1 to 1.5). Any equally probable random combination generator will seem to follow this advice on its own (without any filters) - What’s interesting is that no one specifically programs it this way, putting instructions (algorithm) into it to produce exactly these combinations of numbers.

Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself!

1. Review the draw history - most odd-even combinations will be 2-3, 3-2 (5 out of 36) and 3-3 (6 out of 45).
2. Take any random number generator, combinations - generate and write down the resulting combinations, then check.

Conclusion:

• Most likely, such advice is addressed to those who manually fill out tickets, without any software; even a simple random combination generator will follow this advice on its own.
• This advice is of little use to us, since the sector contains two-thirds of all combinations - not in roulette, because we play for dozens, where the chance is 1 in 3.
• This advice is suitable for lotteries that take place very rarely, although it will not help much.
• It is more correct to try to guess sectors 1-4, 4-1, and with fairly frequent circulations 5-0, 0-5 (we are waiting for the average period)

Everyone knows the Sportloto lottery since the days of Soviet Union. It was the most popular Soviet lottery. Since the lottery game has managed to survive to this day, anyone can buy a ticket and take part in the drawing.

How to play - simple lottery rules 6 of 49

The game formula clearly states that you need to guess from 3 to 6 ball numbers out of 49 possible. There are several ways to take part in the draw:

1. Buy lottery ticket with numbers already filled in on the playing field;
2. Choose your own numbers when purchasing.

The game coupon offers 6 fields. Prizes are drawn daily at 09:30, 15:30 and 21:30 Moscow time.

What prizes can you win in Sportloto?

The size of the cash prize in Sportloto 6 out of 49 depends on how many numbers are guessed. If three numbers are guessed, the player receives a modest prize of 150 rubles. How more numbers will be guessed more win. The winning amount is calculated from the smaller number of balls to the larger one. First, the winning amount is calculated for those who guessed three numbers. The amount that will be paid to everyone who guessed three balls is minus the total prize fund. Then the total amount is calculated for those who guessed four numbers and five. The super prize, which is a payout for 6 guessed numbers, changes with each draw. Sometimes the winner will receive a reward of several million rubles.

Verification form

Is it possible to win the Gosloto lottery? If we exclude the assumption that the lottery organizers are dishonest, then we can say with confidence: yes, it’s real.

Those who rely not only on intuition, but also use statistical analysis, powerful analytical mathematical tools and various lottery systems know how to win in Gosloto.

It has long been known that, along with the laws of nature, sociology, economics, etc. There are also laws of numbers. There are also some mathematical formulas and axioms with which you can maximize the probability of getting a certain sequence of numbers. Among them I would highlight the following

Patterns

1. Agree that, despite theoretical probabilities and calculations, the chance of getting a sequence only from even or only from odd numbers very small? Therefore, you should avoid such combinations in your bets.

2. Sequences also have a very unlikely chance of dropping with little or vice versa very a large sum their numbers.
For example: 1,4,6,9,11,12 or 35,37,40,41,44,45 (I’m not talking about 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 40,41,42,43, 44,45).

3. Western practitioners and analysts, analyzing large archives of various lotteries, came to the conclusion that when choosing numbers for your bets, it is not necessary to analyze starting from some shaggy year 1900, but just analyze the last 50 draws this lottery. The result will not be worse, but most often even better.

4. Statistics show that there are so-called "hot numbers" (Hot numbers), which were most often drawn in the previous 10 draws and which have a 61% (on average) probability of appearing again in the next draw.

5. Moreover, you won’t believe it, but you can see for yourself that with a probability of approximately 10%, the numbers that appeared in the previous (last) draw are drawn. These are super hot "priority numbers" (Prior numbers).

6. Similarly, the so-called "cold numbers" (Cold numbers) - numbers that have not been drawn for a very long time.

7. With a probability of about 2% they drop out "expected numbers" (Due numbers), which most often appear together with hot or cold numbers in pairs, triples or quadruples.

8. Well, it would be a sin to deny that the chances of winning increase if you bet more bets, using complete and incomplete (reduced) lottery systems in the game. For example, such as .

How can we now combine and use all this?

Very simple. Use special software, everything has already been invented for us!
I don’t know what it’s like with Russian developments, but the West has plenty of it (type something like “lotto software” into Google).

Personally, I really liked it and have been using the program from www.windowslotto.com.

In short, Lotto Pro is a rather interesting application that is designed to guess the most likely “lucky” numbers in all kinds of lotteries. Its distinctive feature is that it does not use a random number generator to calculate numbers, but a powerful analytical tool, the operating principle of which is based on statistical analysis, and it copes well with its task, taking into account all the above wishes.

The program comes pre-installed with more than 100 types of lotteries (all Western). But you can choose among them Gosloto lotteries that are similar to ours, for example, the same 6 out of 45 or 5 out of 36. Or you can enter your own lottery into the program with your own conditions:

The program also comes pre-installed with a bunch of different complete, incomplete, incomplete with extension numbers and systems with keys:

For proper operation program you need to know lotteries (preferably at least 50 draws). They need to be entered into a special form and click on the button responsible for starting the analysis. After this, the program will make a calculation and offer a list of numbers with the highest probability of appearing in the next draw.

How to choose? Let's say you decide to use .

18 rooms. 11 of them (~61%) are of your choice and preference, you choose from the Hot column (numbers in brackets indicate the number of their occurrences in 10 latest editions), 2 numbers (~10%) - from the Prior column, 4 or 5 numbers (~27%) - from the Cold column (numbers in parentheses indicate how many draws ago in last time this number was dropped) and your choice is 1 number from the expected numbers or nothing - the Due column.

"Sportloto" is not only a piece of the history of the USSR, but also a part modern Russia. The first drawing took place on October 20, 1970, and the first winner was an economic engineer from Moscow. Her winnings amounted to 5,000 rubles.

Now “Sportloto 6 of 49” draws take place three times a day: 10.30, 16.30 and 22.30 Moscow time. If you match all 6 numbers drawn, you will win a super prize!

How to play Sportloto 6 of 49
