You can’t talk about lotteries without mentioning real winnings! In the first quarter of 2016, a Russian resident from the Moscow region placed an online bet on a popular European lottery. As surprising as it may sound, the personal driver managed to win a phenomenal prize by our standards - 824 thousand euros!
Foreign lottery winner from Russia with a very big win
Of course, he did not advertise his contact information (including his first and last name), but he happily shared his experience and background. According to him, he took up the game quite recently. It took literally a few months before he managed to hit the big jackpot.
He lives with three children, and therefore money, especially in this amount, definitely cannot be superfluous. That is why the man decided to try his luck at Austria Lotto, having found out about it on the Internet. Without much difficulty or a long wait, he hit the jackpot, which arrived safely in the Moscow region. It wasn’t even a problem that the man actually had no gaming experience.
All readers may immediately have a question: how to catch the bird of happiness? The main methods of winning will be discussed further, but now we can focus on a few recommendations.
Scientists from many countries around the world have also asked questions related to the probability of winning the lottery. They were primarily interested in: Is it possible to develop some kind of strategy?, assuming that starting capital available in unlimited quantities? Is it possible to increase the chance of winning by doing anything? How realistic is it, by investing without limits, to end up getting more than you originally got, having won back the cost of the tickets for the entire time?
The results, as one might expect, are quite prosaic. Briefly they can be expressed as follows:
- all numbers and combinations are equally probable, which means that a certain set of numbers cannot be more likely to appear than another;
- any strategy cannot in any way influence the appearance of something specific, so it is equivalent to a simple (random) choice;
- There are no technologies that can guarantee both regular and one-time victory.
Everything is connected with the simple mathematical principle of all lotteries: in order to win something, you simply need to choose, not submitting to anything, waiting for a gift of fate.
Based on this, research by representatives of the exact sciences did not add confidence to experienced players, and therefore psychologists got involved, deciding to study the human factor of this issue.
The fact is that victory is influenced not only by mathematical probabilities, but also by the actions of the player himself, who buys a ticket, makes certain decisions and chooses certain numbers.
All combinations are equally likely to win, which means the size of the prize will depend only on how many more people decide to bet on a particular sequence. The more people choose it, the less money it can bring to each of them.
Pay attention! Based on this, a fairly simple psychological principle is formed: the player needs to choose unpopular numbers. In fact, you need to be in the smallest group of people, because it is in this case that the winnings will be the greatest possible.
This idea, which is gaining more and more adherents, in its most simplified form is as follows: it is impossible to somehow deceive the system or beat it with tricks, because the chance of winning is the same for any combination of numbers.
That's why it's worth play against other participants, trying to predict which choice will be the least popular. To take advantage of this psychological principle, it is enough to study the image of the average player, analyzing the factors that may influence his playing style.
The effectiveness of this technique is due to the fact that absolutely all people think approximately the same way, which means that a player with a scientific-psychological approach only needs to adhere to simple rule: Typical combinations should be avoided (those that the majority of competitors would most likely choose), and also not succumb to stereotypes.
2. Types of lotteries and features of drawings
Nowadays there is a variety of lotteries available to the common man, is large enough. That is why any novice player can simply get lost in it, doing rash steps and losing your money.
Experts and experienced people who have long been interested in lotteries always give the same advice to those who want to try themselves in this field: it is best to trust the most famous and major draws. In this case, it is better to give preference at first domestic , because the rules for participation in such lotteries are always simpler and more transparent.
- The larger the drawing, the more prizes there are and the larger they are.
- Participation in Russian lotteries is safer and more convenient, because it is easier to buy a ticket and you can collect your winnings yourself, without using the services of intermediaries.
At the same time, based on the previously described facts, it is worth noting that there are a large number scammers who try to throw newcomers off the right path, offering them “winning” game technologies.
Previously, it was established that no method can bring winnings closer, but there are ways to increase the size of the prize if victory does occur. That is why it is worth fleeing from those who offer “magical ways to always win the lotteries”.
The correct alternative to using magical techniques is to purchase an extra ticket and choose atypical numbers.
There are two main types of draws: instant And circulation . They differ in two main points: the duration of the wait for the prize and its size.
2.1. Instant lotteries
This type of prank is as simple and uncomplicated as possible. He will practically know whether the player is lucky this time straightaway. We have already talked about this in our lives in one of our publications.
To determine whether a ticket is a winner, in most competitions it is enough to erase the in the right place protective coating (so-called scratch layer, which was always found on cards for replenishing a mobile account). Other plays involve a slightly different way of determining a winning situation: part of the ticket is torn off and unfolded.
The most interesting thing about such lotteries is that most of the prizes can be won right on the spot. If the player catches a real jackpot, he will have to contact the organizers, but this can be done in the shortest possible time to become the owner of a pleasant amount of money in just a few days.
2.2. Draw lotteries
This type of sweepstakes is characterized by the fact that prizes are given out to lucky players at a specific time. Despite this, and this type There are two main types of competitions:
- each person chooses the numbers himself, writing them on a ticket or crossing them off from the proposed list;
- All participants receive branded cards with serial numbers, so the one with this lucky number wins.
The first variety is considered more popular and interesting, as it allows players to feel their influence on the situation by independently choosing the numbers on the ticket.
In addition, the following lotteries are considered draw lotteries: auction drawings(carried out by specific trademarks, which releases to advertise their products lottery cards and in specific date give out prizes to lucky winners), as well as various quizzes.
Such promotions and events are held on a one-time basis, since they are organized not by professional lottery communities, but by commercial enterprises.
Such competitions most often imply the opportunity to receive not some kind of cash prize (although this is possible), but certain present (both from the company itself and from its partners and sponsors).
Experienced players advise paying attention to events that at first glance may seem frivolous. Due to the fact that the number of participants is limited by the target audience of a particular brand, as well as the circulation of tickets or auction products, winning is not so difficult.
Certainly, money is most often much nicer than household appliances that may already be available, but such expensive things as modern smartphones, laptops, tablets or even cars certainly cannot interfere.
Proven ways to win big in the lottery
3. How to win a large sum of money in the lottery - TOP 5 working methods
As mentioned earlier, methods of how to choose suitable numbers in a lottery ticket, there are countless. Some people try to do this completely by chance, others rely on complex ones found somewhere. math strategies. There are also those players who choose significant dates your life, but that’s what experts do do not advise.
Despite this, experienced players identify several methods at once that provide a real opportunity, albeit in a minimal way, but still bring your winnings closer closer to yourself.
The best thing is that all these technologies are available to everyone, which means all players have the opportunity to test them in action by analyzing how truthful their author was when he spoke about the performance of his technique.
Method number 1. Multi-circulation approach
This technology is the simplest to implement, which means it allows you to spend the least amount of your own effort. As stated earlier, all sequences equally probable, which means you don’t have to worry about choosing your own gaming strategy. It is enough to come up with absolutely any combination (both random and iconic) to use it everywhere.
IN in this case it is enough to choose it throughout long-term period, so as not to think about numbers every time, filling your head with unnecessary worries.
Any combination can lead to victory, but for a specific sequence you just have to wait for that triumphant moment. It’s enough just to regularly purchase tickets and fill them out according to your own invented rule the same every time.
Method No. 2. Psychological analysis
To use this method, it is enough to remember the information that was given earlier: if it is impossible to go into battle against the service itself, trying to deceive the organizers and deceive the lottery, then you need to redirect all your strength on competitors .
The main requirement of this approach is that it is simply worth forget about the numbers familiar to all people(for example, the date of some public holiday that will be on the eve of the draw). At the same time, in order to choose the least popular combinations, it is necessary to parse all the sequences in your head into several components with a kind of effort.
More often than not, the lucky number sets that people mentally assign to the first group turn out to be the most common among players. It turns out that the most popular are from 60 to 75% available combinations (the simplest or the most associative).
Here's a simple example:
An example is the fact that any number up to 31 is considered more popular than any other, and this is perhaps due to the familiar numbers around us. In this case, it is assumed that in a similar way associations arise in a person’s head with lasting months.
In fact, all people in situations where they need to come up with some kind of numerical sequence immediately provoke memories of memorable dates, but the number of days is simply cannot exceed 31. That is why the choice of combination should be made using larger numbers, because they will definitely be less common.
This approach will not be able to bring your winnings closer, but will make it more serious if something happens, because combinations of this kind are simply very unpopular, which means you won’t have to share money or prizes with competitors.
Method No. 3. Playing with Friends (Lottery Syndicate)
In this case, experienced players advise doing this: a group of comrades chip in for a common cause and purchase the maximum number of tickets for their company.
This kind of cooperation allows you not only to do something together among friends, but also significantly increase your chance of winning, because the number of tickets increases, which means you can try more combinations.
In this case, experienced players advise, together with friends, using the syndicate strategy, to give preference game "6 out of 49", and also try your collective luck in the drawing "Gosloto 5 of 36" . Apply such a simple, and most importantly - effective method, it is possible for other competitions. For example, in “Russian Lotto” it will be possible to purchase many more game cards.
Despite all this, when using the described approach, it is worth understanding one very important rule: when a person invests money in the general budget, the winnings, no matter whose contribution or whose combination brings it, are necessarily distributed equally. No one is given priority.
Of course, if something happens, you can provide a system according to which the more tickets a person buys, the larger part of the prize is given to him, but this all needs to be discussed in advance to avoid conflicts.
Let's try to highlight a few key dogmas that cannot be violated under any circumstances:
- The player cannot ask for money from his friends if he does not have enough new ticket, because in case of victory, disputes will begin over who owns the share for him.
- For the same reason, it is forbidden to pay for your comrades, so as not to enter into conflicts with anyone after the results are announced. Friendship, as everyone knows folk wisdom, more expensive than money.
- Under no circumstances should you invite new participants to such a syndicate without explaining all the nuances of the joint business or on a dishonest basis.
- It is best to beware of those people who sow around themselves Bad mood, as well as those who lack faith in their own abilities. The team should only have persistent and optimistic people.
The most important thing in this matter - don't forget that all members of such a syndicate are friends and are on the same side of the barricades, which means they are interested in common success, which they most likely would not have received on their own.
From history, it is worth noting that such a strategy for cooperative ticket purchases brought one company of 7 people a prize of $315 million. This happened in 2005, when hospital employees decided to join forces by donating to the general budget. This news shocked not only Los Angeles, but the whole world! There are plenty of similar examples from all over the globe.
Method number 4. Applying an expanded rate
This technique involves the following actions of the player: he thinks through all the desired lottery sequences in advance, and then writes them in the same fields on the ticket. In fact, there can be several combinations in one area.
The main nuance of such a complex, at first glance, approach is Firstly, the need to take part in the drawing where everyone can choose their own numbers. Secondly, this method implies the need large investments, since you will have to pay extra for a complex bet.
As a result, this can pay for itself and bring a pleasant win, because the number of sequences used increases, which, in fact, is the only real way to somehow influence the chance of winning.
Method No. 5. Participation in so-called distributed circulations
Purchasing tickets from organizers who support deferred and cumulative prize payouts can bring significant success. The point here is that distributed draws are actually drawings with several stages.
Participants do not receive their prize immediately after the end of the lottery, but wait until the end of the whole series. As a result, it accumulates a significant amount of money, which is subsequently distributed in appropriate proportions to all the winners.
Experienced players argue that in this case the main advantage is not the chance of winning (and it is standard here, because it is very difficult to influence it), but its size. After all, large companies involved in sweepstakes often distribute amazing sums among the winners in this way.
The stories of most millionaire players are associated with precisely this approach to lotteries, when under standard conditions of victory (chance is the most common) it is possible to get much more than with the average draw, in which prizes are distributed before the start of a new lottery series.
So there is 5 main ways either increase the chance of winning without any tricks (such techniques are indirectly associated with the use of a larger number of combinations), or increase the size of the winnings by using unpopular sequences.
