Types of lotteries. Legal information about lotteries II

Winnings are determined in several rounds. The amount of winnings depends on which round the numbers matched lottery combination with the winning combination numbers. Total number of rounds required for the draw prize fund and prize fund distribution categories are determined by the lottery operator within a specific draw.

"Jackpot" - there are three possible drawing principles, the decision to use which within a specific draw is made by the lottery operator:

Principle No. 1 - tickets win in which, on the 15th move, all 15 numbers of one of the two playing fields of the ticket (upper or lower) coincide with the numbers drawn during the drawing;

Principle No. 2 - tickets are won if, on a move set by the operator, 15 numbers out of 30 in the two playing fields of the ticket match the numbers drawn during the drawing;

Principle No. 3 - tickets are won in which, on the move set by the lottery operator (or earlier than such a move), from 5 to 30 numbers (the exact value is determined by the lottery operator) located in the playing field (playing fields) of the ticket coincide with those drawn during the drawing numbers. Match required to win game combination lottery participant with the numbers drawn during the drawing, the composition of the game combination and the location of the numbers of the game combination on the ticket are determined by the lottery operator within the framework of a specific draw.

“Second round jackpot” - tickets are won in which, on the announced move or earlier, all 15 numbers of any of the two playing fields of the ticket (top or bottom) match the numbers drawn during the drawing. Such tickets win in the second round and, together with the second round prize fund, win the “Second Round Jackpot”. If the "Second Round Jackpot" is not played on the announced move, then the "Second Round Jackpot" prize fund is accumulated and transferred to next draw draw, the announced move may change at the discretion of the lottery operator (increase/decrease by 1).

“Jackpot of the third round” - tickets are won in which, on the announced move or earlier, all 30 numbers of the two playing fields of the ticket coincide with the numbers drawn during the drawing. Such tickets are won in the third round and, together with the third round prize fund, win the “Third Round Jackpot”. If the "Jackpot of the third round" is not played on the announced move, then the prize fund of the "Jackpot of the third round" is accumulated and transferred to the next drawing of the draw; the announced move may change at the discretion of the lottery operator (increase/decrease by 1).

The subsequent distribution of the prize fund in the main draw occurs by category:

“First round” - tickets are won in which all 5 numbers in any horizontal line of any playing field of the ticket (top or bottom) are the first to match the numbers drawn during the drawing.

“Second round” - tickets are won in which all 15 numbers of one of the playing fields of the ticket (top or bottom) match the numbers drawn during the drawing before the others.

“Third round” and subsequent rounds - tickets are won in which all 30 numbers of the two playing fields of the ticket coincide with the numbers drawn during the drawing before others.

Subsequent distribution of the prize fund in additional draw occurs in categories:

“Lucky numbers” - win tickets in which, on the moves set by the lottery operator (there may be several of them - for example, on the first, tenth and last), the numbers drawn during the drawing coincide with all lucky numbers indicated on the ticket in addition to the 30 numbers that form the playing fields. The coincidence of the lottery participant's game combination with the numbers drawn during the drawing, necessary for winning, the composition of the game combination and the location of the game combination numbers on the ticket are determined by the lottery operator within the framework of a specific draw. The lottery operator has the right to make a decision on holding this drawing both before and during the drawing of the prize fund of the draw.

“Tour of Luck”, “Second Chance” (the names are equivalent) - tickets are won in which all the numbers additionally indicated to the 30 numbers that form the playing fields coincide with the remaining numbers that were not drawn out after the drawing. The coincidence of the lottery participant's game combination with the numbers drawn during the drawing, necessary for winning, the composition of the game combination and the location of the game combination numbers on the ticket are determined by the lottery operator within the framework of a specific draw. The lottery operator has the right to make a decision on holding this drawing both before and during the drawing of the prize fund of the draw.

“YOU-SHCHA” - tickets are won which, at the end of the main drawing, will contain the numbers that ended ( last number, defined in the drawing) the first four rounds or the last four rounds (determined by the lottery operator) of the main drawing. The winnings of each ticket are 1000 (one thousand) rubles. The lottery operator has the right to make a decision on holding this drawing both before and during the drawing of the prize fund of the draw.

"Sea battle" - winning tickets, which at the end of the main drawing will contain the numbers that completed the rounds of the main drawing, determined by the lottery operator.

The lottery operator has the right to make a decision on holding this drawing both before and during the drawing of the prize fund of the draw.

“Drawing by ticket number” - tickets are won in which the ticket number ends with a winning combination of numbers determined during the drawing (the last digits of the drawn numbers in the moves and/or rounds determined by the lottery operator, or the non-drawn numbers).

We have already mentioned that Gosloto positions itself as state lottery. Is it really? Upon closer examination, it turned out to be not so state-owned. From the legal side, the organizer of the project is the Ministry of Sports Russian Federation. However, the direct organizer of the draws is Orglot LLC. LLC is also directly related to holding lotteries. Trading house Gosloto". The names of the leaders of these two commercial companies remain unknown to the general public, and the companies are registered offshore. Initially, Gosloto was located on the Internet at gosloto.ru. Relatively recently (since 2012), the lottery “moved” to stoloto.ru.

From 01/04/2013 it became known that the right to conduct lotteries "Gosloto" transferred to State Sports Lotteries CJSC. The organization of drawings is carried out in accordance with the order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 12, 2012 No. 687 in order to attract Money into domestic sports. The previous name of the above-mentioned company was CJSC Nero. The story with the owners of the organization repeats itself: “Nero” belongs to another legal entity and it is not possible to obtain information about the true leaders.

What is the result? The owners seemed to have changed, and the lottery was supposed to become more transparent. But this did not happen. The drawing algorithms remained the same (including possible fraud). There is information that in fact both management and staff remained in their previous jobs. The Internet is full of articles and videos about cases of deception of players who decided to take part in the Gosloto lotteries.

It is worth paying attention to one important fact: Draws for this lottery are not carried out in live. Several years have already passed, and the organizers still cannot deal with the “problems” that hinder the conduct of online broadcast directly during (and not later or before) the prize draw. This can hardly be classified as an accident. In addition, the presence of signs of video editing cannot be denied.

Progress does not stand still, so even an “honest” live broadcast of the lottery drawing cannot completely protect against fraud. The technical capabilities are so wide that it doesn’t cost organizers anything to acquire a lottery machine that gives out balls not in a random order, but in the order that the lottery operators need. They won't be able to find fault circulation commission, nor the audience sitting directly in the studio.

Why the organizers lottery "Gosloto" Haven't taken advantage of this "loophole" yet? Most likely they don't need it. The popularity of the lottery is so high, and the distribution system is so developed that the organizers do not necessarily need to change anything for at least the next couple of years. The Gosloto lottery has terminals, ticket sales points, a system of agreements with Euroset and even a network of Nestlé kiosks. The lottery website is promoted and supported by several resources, including: stoloto.ru. It should be noted that the media also played a certain role in increasing confidence in the Gosloto lottery among the population. For example, in Moskovsky Komsomolets you can sometimes find articles dedicated to Gosloto (positive, of course).

There is information that the state made a number of claims against the organizers of the pranks. However, the comments did not concern the dubious conditions of the circulation, but the financial part. The Gosloto lottery did not fulfill the terms of the agreement concluded with the Ministry of Sports. It was about paying 15% of the income received from ticket sales. The funds were planned to be used to implement a sports development program. According to plans, the Gosloto project was supposed to bring at least 15 billion rubles to the state treasury. But the amount turned out to be much more modest: up to 2 billion were transferred over a four-year period.

By this fact An audit of the activities of Orglot LLC was carried out by the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation. It turned out that this Gosloto operating company offered the most unfavorable terms of cooperation compared to other lottery organizing companies. It is likely that the competition was won by bribing some of the people responsible for its conduct.

In 2009, Orglot LLC officially showed itself as an organization with unprofitable activities. The financial loss “on paper” amounted to 4.5 billion rubles. But, most likely, the real profits were transferred to offshore zones.

If you still haven’t changed your mind about playing Gosloto, then later in the article you will find a description of the types of games:

• "5 out of 36";
• "6 out of 45";
• "7 out of 49";
• "Rapido".

Gosloto also owns the Thimbles project. This is an instant lottery.

The official name of the first lottery on the list is “VGL 1 Sport”. The drawing is carried out daily. Draw broadcast time: 22:00. "6 out of 45"- "VGL 2 Sport". This is also a daily lottery. The broadcast of the draw can be viewed at 23:59. "7 out of 49" It is held somewhat less frequently - once a week at 22:00. The "Rapido" draw is a lottery in which you can take part 3 times a week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 20:00.

The games listed above have a betting system. The minimum bet on “VGL 1 Sport” and “Rapido” is 20 rubles. The rate for “6 out of 45” is slightly higher - 30 rubles. Most money for minimum bid You will have to spend 100 rubles when participating in “7 out of 49”.

To attract larger number players to lottery "Gosloto", the organizers resort to tricks: from time to time they change the cost of tickets and the dates of the draws. Unfortunately, there is no talk of increasing the “transparency” of lotteries. Changes made to legislation in 2014 led to the fact that in the Russian Federation there were only 2 main operators, all Russian lotteries. But these measures did not stop the Gosloto lottery. Is there anything stopping you from once again changing the legal entity and finding the “right” official interested in material “remuneration”?

It’s worth talking separately about “Rapido”. The lottery has some differences from the standard ones. The project started in 2013. The game scheme is reminiscent of Keno. Game algorithm: 8 out of 20 + bonus ball 1 out of 4. The jackpot size is relatively small, but the chance of winning is significantly higher than other lotteries.

Chances of winning in Gosloto

The maximum winning amount in Gosloto that has ever been registered in the Russian Federation was 100 million rubles. The winner of this prize took part in the "6 out of 45" draw. There is a lot of information on the Internet about receiving fabulous sums thanks to the “coveted ticket”. But where is the guarantee that these articles and reviews were not written to order?

The above can be summarized as follows. Lottery "Gosloto"- this is undoubtedly the largest Russian lottery. But is she completely trustworthy? Of course, you can try to catch luck by the tail, but it is better to do it with your head. Remember that you can be deceived. It is worth thinking about European lotteries that are more transparent.

Hello!

My name is Ivan Melnikov! I am a graduate of the National Technical University “KhPI”, Faculty of Engineering and Physics, specialty “Applied Mathematics”, a happy family man and just a fan of games of chance. Since childhood, I have been interested in lotteries. I have always wondered by what laws certain balls fall out. Since I was 10 years old, I have been recording lottery results and then analyzing the data.

Sincerely,

Ivan Melnikov.

1. Mathematical odds of winning

   • Simple calculation with factorials

The most common lotteries in the world are games of luck such as “5 out of 36” and “6 out of 45”. Let's calculate the chance of winning the lottery using probability theory.

An example of calculating the possibility of receiving a jackpot in the “5 out of 36” lottery:

It is necessary to divide the number of free cells by the number of possible combinations. That is, the first digit can be selected from 36, the second from 35, the third from 34, and so on.

Therefore, here is the formula:

Number of possible combinations in a “5 out of 36” lottery = (36*35*34*33*32) / (1*2*3*4*5) = 376,992

The chance of winning is 1 in almost 400,000.

Let's do the same for a lottery like 6 in 45.

Number of possible combinations = “6 out of 45” = (45*44*43*42*41*40) / (1*2*3*4*5*6) = 9,774,072.

Accordingly, the chance of winning is almost 1 in 10 million.

• A little about probability theory

According to a long-known theory, each ball in each subsequent search has an absolutely equal chance of falling out compared to the others.

But not everything is so simple, even according to probability theory. Let's take a closer look at the example of tossing a coin. The first time we got heads, then the next time the probability of getting tails is much higher. If heads come up again, then next time we expect tails with even greater probability.

With the balls coming out of the lottery machines, it's about the same story, but a little more complicated and with a more significant number of variables. If one ball is drawn 3 times and the other is drawn 10 times, then the probability of the first ball being drawn will be higher than that of the second. It is worth noting that this law is diligently violated by the organizers of some lotteries, which change lottery machines from time to time. A new sequence appears in each new lottery machine.

Some organizers also use a separate lottery machine for each ball. Thus, it is necessary to calculate the probability of each ball falling out in each individual lottery machine. On the one hand, this makes the task a little easier, on the other hand, it complicates it.

But this is just a theory of probability, which, as it turns out, doesn’t really work. Let's see what secrets there are, based on dry science and statistical data accumulated over decades.

1. Why doesn't probability theory work?

   • Less than ideal conditions

The first thing worth talking about is the calibration of lottery machines. None of the lottery machines are perfectly calibrated.

The second caveat is that the diameters of lottery balls are also not the same. Even differences of the slightest fraction of millimeters play a role in the frequency of a particular ball falling out.

The third detail is the different weight of the balls. Again, the difference may not seem significant at all, but it also affects the statistics, and significantly.

• Sum of winning numbers

If we look at the statistics of winning numbers in the “6 out of 45” lottery, we can see interesting fact: The sum of the numbers that players bet on ranges between 126 and 167.

The sum of the winning lottery numbers for “5 out of 36” is a slightly different story. Here the winning numbers add up to 83-106.

• Even or odd?

What numbers do you think are most often found on winning tickets? Even? Odd? I can tell you with complete confidence that in the “6 out of 45” lotteries these numbers are equally divided.

But what about “5 out of 36”? After all, you need to choose only 5 balls, there cannot be even or odd equal amount. So here it is. Having analyzed the results of lotteries of this type over the last four decades, I can say that it is insignificant, but still more often, in winning combinations odd numbers appear. Especially those that contain the number 6 or 9. For example, 19, 29, 39, 69 and so on.

• Popular groups of numbers

For a lottery of the “6 to 45” type, we conditionally divide the numbers into 2 groups - from 1 to 22 and from 23 to 45. It should be noted that in winning tickets the ratio of numbers belonging to the group is 2 to 4. That is, either the ticket will contain 2 numbers from the group from 1 to 22 and 4 numbers from the group from 23 to 45 or vice versa (4 numbers from the first group and 2 from the second).

I came to a similar conclusion when analyzing the statistics of lotteries like “5 out of 36”. Only in in this case The groups are divided a little differently. Let's designate the first group that includes the numbers from 1 to 17, and the second the one that contains the remaining numbers from 18 to 35. The ratio of numbers from the first group to the second in winning combinations in 48% of cases is 3 to 2, and in 52 % of cases – on the contrary, 2 to 3.

• Is it worth betting on numbers from past draws?

It has been proven that in 86% of cases, a new drawing repeats a number that has already appeared in previous drawings. Therefore, you just need to follow the draws of the lottery you are interested in.

• Consecutive numbers. To choose or not to choose?

The chance that 3 consecutive numbers will appear at once is very low, less than 0.09%. And if you want to bet on 5 or 6 consecutive numbers at once, there is practically no chance. Therefore, choose different numbers.

• Numbers with a single step: win or lose?

You should not bet on numbers that appear in the same sequence. For example, you definitely don’t need to choose step 2 and place a bet with this step. 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 are definitely a losing combination.

• More than one ticket: yes or no?

It’s better to play once every 10 weeks with 10 tickets than once a week with one. And also play in groups. You can win a big cash prize and split it between several people.

1. World lottery statistics

   • Mega millions

One of the most popular lotteries in the world was carried out according to the following principle: you need to choose 5 numbers out of 56, as well as 1 out of 46 for the so-called golden ball.

For 5 matched balls and 1 correctly named golden ball, the lucky winner receives the jackpot.

The remaining dependencies are shown in the table:

Statistics of dropped regular balls for the entire duration of the above lottery draws.

Statistics of golden balls drawn throughout the Mega Millions drawings.

The most frequently drawn combinations in the lottery are shown in the table below:

• Powerball lottery where more than a dozen lucky people have managed to hit the jackpot. You must select 7 main game numbers and two Powerballs.

1. Winners' stories

   • Lucky compatriots

Evgeny Sidorov from Moscow received 35 million in 2009, before that Nadezhda Mekhametzyanova from Ufa hit the jackpot of 30 million. " Russian lotto» sent another 29.5 million to Omsk to the winner, who did not want to identify himself. In general, winning jackpots is good habit Russian people

• 390 million US dollars in one hand

In the lottery we already talked about, Mega Millions, a lucky winner who wished to remain anonymous won $390 million. And this is far from a rare case. In the same lottery in 2011, two people managed to hit the jackpot, which at that time consisted of an amount of 380 million. Money prize was divided into two parts and awarded to people who guessed the winning numbers.

A pensioner from South Carolina decided to participate in the Powerball lottery and won 260 million, which he decided to spend on the education of his children, and also bought a house, several cars for the family, and then went traveling.

1. conclusions

So, here is a summary of the most effective rules, following which you will definitely win:

1. The sum of all the numbers you bet on in lottery ticket, should be calculated using the following formula:

Amount = ((1 + n)/2)*z + 2 +/- 12%

n – maximum bet number, for example, 36 in a “5 out of 36” lottery

z – the number of balls you bet on, for example 5 for the “5 out of 36” lottery

That is, for “5 out of 36” the amount will be like this:

((1+36)/2)*5 + 2 +/-12% = 18,5*5+2 +/-12% = 94,5 +/-12%

In this case, from 94.5 + 12% to 94.5 – 12%, that is, from 83 to 106.

1. Bet equally on even and odd numbers.
2. Divide all numbers by two large groups in half. The ratio of the number of numbers found in winning ticket equals 1 to 2 or 2 to 1.
3. Follow the statistics and bet on the numbers that came out in previous draws.
4. Don't bet on numbers with one step.
5. It’s better to play less often, but buy several tickets at once, and also get together with friends and relatives.

In general, be brave! Follow my rules, place bets, analyze statistics and win!

What do a maternity hospital, a lottery and a daring prison escape have in common? Answer: Bartholomew Moss, Irish surgeon and obstetrician who was behind the founding of Europe's first maternity hospital. The hospital, overlooking the remarkable Rotunda (which gave the complex its name) to the intersection of Parnell and O'Connell streets, was built in 1757. The building design belongs to the architect German origin Richard Castle, who created many outstanding buildings in Ireland. Philanthropy and frivolity Creating a clean and functional maternity hospital for the poor was an expensive, monumental task, and Bartholomew Moss, who dreamed of building it, knew that he could only do it with the help of the wealthy elite of Britain and Ireland.
