4 out of 20 how to fill out. How to win the lottery: secrets, the best domestic and foreign lotteries with the maximum jackpot

Is it possible to win the lottery? What are the chances of matching the required number of numbers and winning the jackpot or junior category prize? The probability of winning is easy to calculate; anyone can do it themselves.

How is the probability of winning the lottery generally calculated?

Numerical lotteries are conducted according to certain formulas and the chances of each event (winning a particular category) are calculated mathematically. Moreover, this probability is calculated for any desired value, be it “5 out of 36”, “6 out of 45”, or “7 out of 49” and it does not change, since it depends only on the total number of numbers (balls, numbers) and how many of them need to be guessed.

For example, for the “5 out of 36” lottery the probabilities are always as follows

• guess two numbers - 1:8
• guess three numbers - 1:81
• guess four numbers - 1: 2,432
• guess five numbers - 1: 376,992

In other words, if you mark one combination (5 numbers) on a ticket, then the chance of guessing “two” is only 1 in 8. But catching “five” numbers is much more difficult, this is already 1 chance in 376,992. This is exactly the number (376 thousand) There are all kinds of combinations in the “5 out of 36” lottery and you are guaranteed to win it if you only fill them all. True, the amount of winnings in this case will not justify the investment: if a ticket costs 80 rubles, then marking all the combinations will cost 30,159,360 rubles. The jackpot is usually much smaller.

In general, all probabilities have long been known, all that remains is to find them or calculate them yourself, using the appropriate formulas.

For those who are too lazy to look, we present the winning probabilities for the main Stoloto numerical lotteries - they are presented in this table

Necessary clarifications

The lotto widget allows you to calculate the probabilities of winning for lotteries with one lottery machine (without bonus balls) or with two lottery machines. You can also calculate the probabilities of deployed bets

Probability calculation for lotteries with one lottery machine (without bonus balls)

Only the first two fields are used, in which the numerical formula of the lottery is used, for example: - “5 out of 36”, “6 out of 45”, “7 out of 49”. In principle, you can calculate almost any world lottery. There are only two restrictions: the first value should not exceed 30, and the second - 99.

If the lottery does not use additional numbers*, then after selecting a numerical formula, all you have to do is click the calculate button and the result is ready. It doesn’t matter what probability of an event you want to know - winning a jackpot, a second/third category prize, or just finding out whether it’s difficult to guess 2-3 numbers out of the required number - the result is calculated almost instantly!

Calculation example. The chance of guessing 5 out of 36 is 1 in 376,992

Examples. Probabilities of winning the main prize for lotteries:
“5 out of 36” (Gosloto, Russia) – 1:376 922
“6 out of 45” (Gosloto, Russia; Saturday Lotto, Australia; Lotto, Austria) - 1:8 145 060
“6 out of 49” (Sportloto, Russia; La Primitiva, Spain; Lotto 6/49, Canada) - 1:13 983 816
“6 out of 52” (Super Loto, Ukraine; Illinois Lotto, USA; Mega TOTO, Malaysia) - 1:20 358 520
“7 out of 49” (Gosloto, Russia; Lotto Max, Canada) - 1:85 900 584

Lotteries with two lottery machines (+ bonus ball)

If the lottery uses two lottery machines, then all 4 fields must be filled in for calculation. In the first two - the numerical formula of the lottery (5 out of 36, 6 out of 45, etc.), in the third and fourth fields the number of bonus balls is indicated (x out of n). Important: this calculation can only be used for lotteries with two lottery machines. If the bonus ball is taken from the main lottery machine, then the probability of winning in this particular category is calculated differently.

* Since when using two lottery machines, the chance of winning is calculated by multiplying the probabilities by each other, then for the correct calculation of lotteries with one lottery machine, the choice of an additional number by default is 1 out of 1, that is, it is not taken into account.

Examples. Probabilities of winning the main prize for lotteries:
“5 out of 36 + 1 out of 4” (Gosloto, Russia) – 1:1 507 978
“4 out of 20 + 4 out of 20” (Gosloto, Russia) – 1:23 474 025
“6 out of 42 + 1 out of 10” (Megalot, Ukraine) – 1:52 457 860
“5 out of 50 + 2 out of 10” (EuroJackpot) – 1:95 344 200
“5 out of 69 + 1 out of 26” (Powerball, USA) - 1: 292,201,338

Example calculation. The chance of guessing 4 out of 20 twice (in two fields) is 1 in 23,474,025

A good illustration of the complexity of playing with two lottery machines is the Gosloto 4 out of 20 lottery. The probability of guessing 4 numbers out of 20 in one field is quite fair, the chance of this is 1 in 4,845. But when you need to guess correctly and win both fields... then the probability is calculated by multiplying them. That is, in in this case 4,845 multiplied by 4,845, which gives 23,474,025. So, the simplicity of this lottery is deceptive, win it Grand Prize more difficult than "6 out of 45" or "6 out of 49"

Probability calculation (expanded bets)

In this case, the probability of winning when using expanded bets is calculated. For example, if there are 6 out of 45 in the lottery, mark 8 numbers, then the probability of winning the main prize (6 out of 45) will be 1 chance in 290,895. Whether to use expanded bets is up to you. Taking into account the fact that their cost is very high (in this case, 8 marked numbers are 28 options), it is worth knowing how this increases the chances of winning. Moreover, it is now very easy to do this!

Calculation of the probability of winning (6 out of 45) using the example of an expanded bet (8 numbers are marked)

And other possibilities

Using our widget, you can calculate the probability of winning in bingo lotteries, for example, in “ Russian lotto" The main thing that needs to be taken into account is the number of moves allocated for the onset of winning. To make it clearer: for a long time In the Russian Lotto lottery, the jackpot could be won if 15 numbers ( in one field) closed in 15 moves. The probability of such an event is absolutely fantastic, 1 chance in 45,795,673,964,460,800 (you can check and get this value yourself). This is why, by the way, for many years in the Russian Lotto lottery no one could hit the jackpot, and it was distributed forcibly.

On March 20, 2016, the rules of the Russian Lotto lottery were changed. The jackpot can now be won if 15 numbers (out of 30) were closed in 15 moves. It turns out to be an analogue of an expanded bet - after all, 15 numbers are guessed out of 30 available! And this is a completely different possibility:

And in conclusion, we present the probability of winning in lotteries using a bonus ball from the main lottery drum (our widget does not count such values). Of the most famous

Hi all! Denis Kuderin, business expert of the Papa Help portal, is with you! I will tell you whether it is worth participating in the lottery from a mathematical point of view, and how the theory of the game relates to practice.

Everyone who purchases a ticket has a chance of winning a big jackpot in the lottery. Another thing is that the mathematical expectation of this probability can exceed all conceivable limits.

Are there ways to increase your chances of success? Is it possible to win the lottery regularly? What are the biggest winnings in the history of Russian and foreign lotteries? You will find detailed answers to these and other questions in a new article on our website!

Is it possible to win the lottery - the opinion of mathematicians and experts

To win the lottery, you do not need to study at a university, be a rich heir or a person with superpowers. You just need to buy a ticket and believe in your luck. All lottery winners are not celestial beings at all, but ordinary citizens whom we meet on the way to work or see at the next table in a cafe.

The beauty of the lottery is that it gives everyone a chance - regardless of education, intelligence, bank account, place of work. Some even manage to hit the jackpot by buying a ticket for the only time in their life. However, more often than not, winning becomes a reward for months and years of patience - regular participation in circulations.

Skeptics believe that the lottery brings profit only to those who arrange it. But optimists are confident that Gosloto, Sportloto and other popular draws are a real path to wealth.

What does science say? Mathematics allows the probability of winning for anyone lottery ticket at any given time. How high this probability is is another matter. One more point: in the lottery, the factor of chance plays a decisive role. If, say, in many card games or in sports betting, strategy is important, here the methods of play and the intellectual preparation of the participant have little influence on the results.

Another important concept from game theory is distance. It is distance that is the main obstacle on the way of ordinary circulation participants to the main winnings. In practice, this means that the expectation of winning does not have a specific duration. Unsuccessful draws do not increase the chances of winning in the slightest.

In other words, even if you play the lottery for six months, a year, 15 years, the probability of winning will not increase, but will always be approximately equal.

All lotteries are divided into two types - instant And circulation.

Instant lotteries

In the first case, you find out the result immediately, as they say, without leaving the cash register. The standard drawing method is extremely simple: the player just needs to remove the scratch layer or unfold the hidden part of the ticket.

The beauty of this method is that you don’t have to wait until the weekend for the draw, and you get most of the prizes right on the spot. However, if you win the jackpot, you will have to contact the organizers of the event and receive your winnings at the company’s office.

Instant lotteries have the right to arrange any supermarkets and commercial organizations. As a rule, the winnings here are modest, but their probability (if the draw is fair) is not difficult to calculate.

circulation

This is a more common type of lottery with a substantial prize fund.

Such lotteries are also divided into two types:

1. The participant himself chooses numbers from a certain range - for example, 5 out of 36.
2. Player cards are initially numbered.

The first type is more popular because it leaves the participant complete “freedom of creativity.” The ability to cross out numbers independently gives rise to entire strategic systems and mathematical theories.

There are hundreds of “winning” strategies, but the truth is that this does not affect the overall number of winners. No matter how complex the mathematical guessing technique is, even if it increases your chances of winning by hundredths of a percent, the probability indicator still remains in an unattainable range.

I once asked my university mathematics teacher: how to visualize the probability of winning the lottery?

He answered like this:

“Imagine a huge railway container with small copper coins. One of these coins is gold. You have one or more attempts to pull out the gold one from the container without looking. Do you think your chances are good?” Maybe that's why people with a mathematical background rarely play the lottery?

However, the above example does not in any way negate the fact that regularly one of our compatriots or inhabitants of the planet becomes a millionaire by winning a jackpot or a big win.

If you are interested in specific probability indicators, then this table is at your service:

These are current indicators: the probability changes depending on the number of participants and tickets purchased. And don’t be confused by the presence of foreign companies on the list - many Russians regularly purchase tickets from foreign companies and win.

How to win the lottery - TOP 5 working methods

So, there are approximately as many methods of play as there are players. Thousands of participants are confident that they are following the only true winning strategy, simply “their time has not come yet.” And this, from a mathematical point of view, absolute truth: all strategies have approximately equal chances of winning.

However, there are several methods that make these chances more realistic. And if these tips help at least a few players improve their well-being, then the selection was not in vain.

I’ll warn you right away: people who are gambling and incapable of self-control should not engage in lotteries, sports betting, online games, etc. at all. The desire to win back will override a reasonable approach. And no strategy will help you get back the money you spent.

Method 1. Lottery syndicate

This method is especially popular among foreign lottery players. A group of people buys tickets together, and then distributes winnings according to contributed shares.

Without a special mathematical education, it is clear that the more tickets you purchase, the higher the chances of winning. Syndicates use this elementary principle for their own purposes. The easiest way to start a syndicate is to suggest it to your friends.

Conditional example

Lottery ticket costs 100 rubles. Do you want to block it immediately? 200 digital combinations. For this you will need 20,000 rubles. Until you are ready to risk that kind of money alone. You organize a syndicate of 10 people and everyone invests in the circulation 2,000 rubles. Monetary losses in case of failure are reduced, and the probability of winning is the opposite.

There are well-known and long-term lottery syndicates not only abroad, but also in Russia. Not long ago, such an association won about half a million in “Russian Lotto”. And one syndicate of bus drivers from the UK “raised” about 38 000 000 pounds ( 1.7 billion rubles).

Practical advice

Never play in a syndicate, borrowing money from other participants, and don’t lend money to the game yourself either. It has been noticed that such actions lead to negative results or conflicts in case of winning.

Method 2. Multi-circulation approach

Another simple method to increase your chances with minimal effort. Choose the most optimal combination of numbers in your opinion and bet several draws ahead at once. Many lottery organizers have this option. There is no need to “warm your head” and come up with strategies - bet on your favorite numbers until the combination plays out.

There are cases where people bet such combinations for years, and what is most remarkable, in the end they won.

Method 3. Playing with an expanded bet

This option radically increases the number of combinations. The strategy is suitable for games in which the player chooses winning numbers on one's own. For example, in “5 out of 36” you choose not 5, but 6 numbers or 7. And although such a ticket will cost you more, all combinations of the numbers you propose will be played, and the winning amount in case of victory will increase significantly.

Method 4. Participation in distribution circulations

First, let's define the term.

Distribution circulations– drawings of large super prizes accumulated over past games are divided among the winners of the current draw.

The regularity of such an event is regulated by the company’s rules, but at least once a year the organizer is obliged to distribute financial surplus.

A large jackpot actually increases the size of the winning bet. Particularly large winnings most often occur in distribution runs. Sometimes the accumulated amount reaches fantastic proportions, but the cost of the ticket does not change. Simply put, you get more for the same money.

Method 5. Psychological analysis

In any game, psychological issues are important. Lotto is no exception. Let's call this technique “Down with stereotypes!” It is based on the simple truth that most participants, when choosing numbers, stop at the first 60-70% of options.

For example, in “7 out of 49” people more often use numbers from 1 to 31. This is logical - everyone likes memorable dates– wedding days, date and month of birth, etc. Choosing numbers after 31 will not increase your chances, but if these numbers are played, the winning amount will be significantly higher, since such combinations are used by a limited percentage of participants.

Conspiracies and prayers for winning a large sum of money in the lottery

It is impossible not to mention alternative ways and the “mystical” aspect of the game. Many players firmly believe in conspiracies, rituals, happy Days, amulets, rabbit's feet and other rituals.

Below I have listed the most famous ones:

Prayer for winning

Match numbers, numbers and bring me luck,

Even though I didn’t win yesterday, today everything will be different,

Not less than a million I'll pick it up

I'm playing a simple game...

Numerous films, books and television shows are based around lotteries and gambling a kind of cult. Incredible luck has become a kind of cultural phenomenon, which is used by organizers of all kinds of games.

Indeed, there have been cases of almost impossible lucky coincidences in the history of lotteries.

This is still happening: a person for the first time in his life buys a ticket for the change that was given to him at the post office, and becomes a millionaire.

Conspiracy to win a large sum of money in the lottery

Coins jingle, bills rustle,

And the toad sat on the gold,

I'll get some money,

I'm sure of this

There will be no limit to wealth!

To believe or not to believe in rituals, prayers, conspiracies and cases is everyone’s personal choice. Let me just say that healthy optimism has never hurt anyone. Belief in one's own luck is a plus: at least such people calmly accept failures.

A positive attitude and self-confidence help more than a pessimistic mood.

Scientific fact: optimists win the lottery much more often. Although it is likely that the reason for this distribution is simple: pessimists are less likely to purchase lottery tickets.

People who have won large sums in the lottery in Russia and around the world

Since jackpots exist in nature, it means that someone wins them periodically. There are many examples of large, largest, incredibly huge winnings. Such examples are the best motivator for new participants in the drawing, which is why game organizers do their best to popularize such events.

I won’t go far - just a few months ago, a resident of Novosibirsk won Stoloto more than 300 million rubles . A person purchased a ticket through the website by paying 100 rubles. A resident of Voronezh won 506 million rubles into the same lottery. Watch how it happened in the video below:

And a resident of Sochi won in 2017 371 million V Gosloto “7 out of 49”. This is the biggest win in Gosloto so far.

Amounts from 100 to 200 million rubles Russian citizens win every year.

The winners include people from all walks of life social groups– security guards, doctors, pensioners, entrepreneurs. The geography is also extensive: both megacities and settlements with an unknown name.

As for the foreign “lucky” ones, their sums are even more substantial:

• 185 million euros went to the 2012 EuroMillions winner from Scotland;
• in 2007 in the USA truck driver and married couple from New Jersey divided main win size $390 million in Mega Millions;
• in 2011 " big jackpot» 185 euros in EuroMillions went to another married couple;
• on a ticket of the same lottery 168 million euros“raised” in 2016 by a cleaner from Belgium;
• in 2017, a jackpot was drawn in PowerBall 758 million dollars – happy ticket purchased by a resident of Massachusetts.

The winners are dominated by those who have previously purchased tickets for many years in a row. But there are also those who bought the winning ticket completely by accident.

Technologies for winning popular lotteries

Let's look at the three most popular lotteries in the Russian Federation.

If you do not yet know the rules and nuances of Gosloto and others popular games, don't skip this section.

FAQ

And now answers to the most pressing questions from users.

Question 1. Who is strictly contraindicated from playing the lottery? Svetlana, 26 years old, Murmansk

Forbes journalists calculated that mathematical odds winning big four times is equal to 1 in 18 septillion (septillion is 10 to the 24th power). In other words, the chances are virtually non-existent. And yet it happened!

Some people think that to win the lottery you need to be an excellent mathematician and be able to calculate the result, while others think that you can only win the lottery with luck.
