If your Gosloto 6 out of 45 ticket won in one of the draws, then you will definitely be faced with the question of how to get your winnings. The most seemingly simple and traditional way (if the winning amount on a ticket does not exceed 1-2 thousand rubles) is to contact the ticket sales point at the place of purchase. With larger winnings, this method may seem unsafe to some players - they will not risk (or simply do not want to) “flashing” a large amount of money in public. And at points of sale there are their own restrictions on the maximum possible prize to receive. Therefore, let's take a closer look at remote methods of receiving winnings - such as when winnings in Gosloto 6 out of 45 will come directly to your bank account or salary card.

Instantly receive winnings in Gosloto 6 out of 45 online

No matter how incredible it may sound, there is a reliable way to quickly receive winnings without waiting, queuing, filling out paperwork, and even without having to leave the house. This happens on the official website of the Stoloto company.

To receive a win, two conditions must be met. First, when placing a bet, you should have been asked for a cell phone number. This almost always happens if you place a bet on Gosloto 6 out of 45 in communication shops, choosing the numbers yourself. But if you only have the ticket itself, in which the numbers are already marked in advance (for example, you bought it at the post office), and when purchasing it you were not asked for a phone number, it will be impossible to receive your winnings online, unfortunately. The second condition is that the winnings should not exceed 100 thousand rubles. If you have won more, see the information below on the page, in the “Sending documents to Stoloto” section.

So, you are convinced that both conditions are met. The next step should be registration on the Stoloto website (click on the link to go to the site). When registering, it is very important to indicate exactly the phone number that you called when purchasing the Gosloto 6 of 45 ticket. It is by the phone number that the system will understand that this ticket is yours and no one else’s.

Immediately after registration you will find yourself in your personal account. Go to the "Receipts" section. Next to your winning ticket, click the “Get Winnings” button. Within a minute, your winnings will be credited to your personal account balance. After this, go to the “Withdrawal of funds from your wallet” section and order your winnings in “Gosloto 6 of 45” for withdrawal in a way convenient for you - including to a bank card or personal bank account (you need to know its 20-digit number). When paying to a VISA/MasterCard card, the money will arrive within 5-10 minutes (but sometimes up to 2 days, depending on your bank). If suddenly you don’t have a bank account or even a salary card, you can transfer money to your mobile balance.

Sending documents to receive the Gosloto 6 out of 45 winnings to Stoloto by mail

In this way, you can get a win in Gosloto 6 out of 45 of up to 1 million rubles. You will need to collect a package of documents: an application for payment of winnings, signed personally; original ticket (receipt); photocopy of passport (page with photo and registration) or other identity document); full bank details for transferring money (as a rule, this is the bank’s BIC, the full name of the branch where the account is opened, the account number itself, you can check all this information with your bank). There is no need to have documents certified by a notary. Just put them in an envelope and send them by registered mail (regular mail may get lost) to the central office of the Stoloto company. To find out the postal address of the office, as well as download sample applications for receiving winnings, also on the Stoloto website.

Getting particularly large winnings in Gosloto 6 out of 45

If you are very lucky and your winnings exceed 1 million rubles, you can only receive it during a personal visit to the central office of the Stoloto company. To do this you will need to go to Moscow. Be sure to take the original ticket with you, but we advise you to keep the purpose of your trip strictly secret from strangers - after all, we are talking about a lot of money.

Remember that you must receive your winnings in Gosloto 6 out of 45 within 180 calendar days from the date of the draw. Otherwise, the prize will go into the unclaimed category.

We will tell you about the rules for participating in lotteries on the Stoloto website. Read about what you can play and how to act to win. Find out how to check whether a ticket has won or not, as well as how to get your winnings if you played over the Internet.

Lotteries are national games of chance. Each of us at least once in our lives bought the coveted ticket in the hope of hitting a big jackpot.

All Russian state lotteries are concentrated in one place - in the Stoloto company. In this article we will analyze in detail what it is, how to play Stoloto online correctly, and what the chance of winning depends on.

What is Stoloto

Stoloto positions itself as a lottery trading house, where anyone can come and try their luck. The company sells one and a half dozen different state lotteries, including such well-known ones as “Russian Lotto” and “Gosloto 5 out of 36”.

Stoloto is not just a distributor, but an entire system that services state gambling.

Services include:

retail ticket sales;
online sales;
conducting drawings;
payments to winners;
Information Support.

Possible risks

Let's immediately add a fly in the ointment by talking about risks. The organizer always wins - this is the golden rule of any gambling. Moreover, of all fair gambling games, the lottery is the most profitable for the company.

Let's compare it to a casino. The average player who comes to a gambling establishment with 1000 rubles in his pocket will leave with 950-990 rubles. In the lottery this figure is around 50%! Enormous income for organizers.

Another risk factor is the high probability of deception. This fact has not been documented anywhere, but there are a large number of skeptics who do not believe in the fairness of the sweepstakes.

The main argument of all skeptics is that the pranks are broadcast in recordings, and the necessary results are adjusted without showing it to the public. It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but the records of the 2259 and 2260 draws have exactly the same position of the balls at different time marks, which is unlikely from any point of view.

We don’t undertake to judge what it is, but before playing you must soberly weigh all the risks.

What can you play in a lottery supermarket?

So, you decided to try your luck and buy the coveted ticket. Let's look at what to play and how much you can win.

As mentioned above, the site offers 15 different lotteries. Conventionally, they are divided into 3 categories.

Fast lotteries

Draws are held every 15 minutes, with large sums up to 15,000,000 rubles being drawn. But do not think that such amounts are distributed left and right every circulation. Usually the maximum winning amount does not exceed 5,000 rubles.

These include:

KENO-Sportloto;
Purchase;
Rapido;
Top 3;
Duel;
12/24.

Multi-million dollar lotteries

These are the most money lotteries. If we take the largest cash prizes, most of them came in the famous “Gosloto 6 out of 45”.

The record winnings on one ticket are more than 358 million rubles.

From one to six draws are held daily for each of them. The rules are extremely simple - you need to select a certain number of numbers and wait for the result. The name speaks for itself. For example, in “Gosloto 4 out of 20” 20 balls are loaded into the lottery drum, and the player only needs to select 4.

Gosloto has 5 varieties:

4 out of 20;
5 out of 36;
6 out of 45;
7 out of 49;
Sportsloto Matchball.

TV lotteries

The third type is a real show with invited guests and spectators in the hall. Draws take place once a week and are broadcast live on TV. Huge cash prizes, apartments, cars, vacation packages and much more are up for grabs.

These include:

Russian Lotto;
Housing Lottery;
6 out of 36 (not to be confused with Gosloto);
Golden horseshoe.

How to play on the Stoloto website - basic rules

It was mentioned above that the Stoloto company is responsible for selling online tickets for its lotteries. But we did not consider this issue in detail.

We have compiled instructions for use for everyone who wants to try their luck without leaving their computer.

Stage 1. Registration on the site

The first thing you need to do is register on the site. There is nothing complicated about it - just fill out the form.

The following information must be provided:

email;
password;
phone number.

You will also be asked to confirm that you are over 18 years of age.

Don't try to cheat the system. For transactions with large amounts, identity verification will be required.

Phone and email must be valid. They will ask for confirmation.

Stage 2. Buying a ticket

First of all, you need to top up your wallet. This can be done from your personal account or after selecting a lottery ticket.

The wallet is replenished in the following ways:

A plastic card.
Online banking.
From a mobile phone number.
Yandex money.
Qiwi.
Single wallet.
Bank transfer.
Replenishment through terminals.

The maximum amount of one transaction is 300,000 rubles. There cannot be more than 600,000 rubles in your wallet at a time.

Select the lottery you are interested in from your personal account or simply on the website. After filling out the numeric field, all that remains is to purchase a ticket.

Stage 3. Ticket verification

Electronic tickets are checked automatically. You can also see the results in your personal account.

If you don’t trust the system, watch video broadcasts in the “Circle Archive” tab. If any controversial situations arise, for example, your ticket won, but the system does not consider it as such, contact technical support.

The application also works for a smartphone, in which all player options are available.

Stage 4. Receiving winnings

You were lucky and became the owner of a lucky ticket that brought you money. Where can I get my prize?

The information on the website tells us the following:

Up to 100,000 rubles. Such amounts are automatically transferred to your personal account. Withdraw money in a way convenient for you. To receive amounts over 40,000 rubles, go through full personal identification.
From 100,000 to 300,000 rubles. Big wins are awarded at big prize centers. They are located in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg.
From 300,000. Such huge winnings are processed only at the Stoloto lottery center in Moscow.

To receive a prize of more than 1,000,000 rubles, additional examination of the ticket will be required.

Note! You have the right to withdraw only the money you have won from your personal account. If you deposited 10,000 rubles and then decided to withdraw them, nothing will work out.

Why am I not winning - 3 possible reasons

Looking at the winners of multi-million dollar prizes, you inevitably think: “Why don’t I win?” It is impossible to answer this question with certainty. The science responsible for the lottery - the theory of probability - only calculates the odds, but does not choose the winner.

There are a huge number of versions and reasons. Someone believes in the conspiracy theory of the organizers and is trying to deceive them. Others go to fortune tellers and psychics to increase their chances of winning.

Let's consider the lottery as an honest game of chance, built on dry mathematics.

In this case, the reasons for failure will be as follows:

Reason 1 - you don't play much. The chances of winning are in millionths of a percent. Here it is worth considering a simple example. There are 100 numbered balls in the bag. You need to pull out the ball with number 17. If you have one attempt, then the chance of success is 1%. Two attempts - 2%. Fifty attempts - 50%. This also works with tickets.
Reason 2 - you stopped playing. History knows many people who hit the jackpot after ten or even twenty years of participation. Don’t think that by playing once you will hit a multi-million dollar jackpot. There are cases where people have won by buying one ticket, but this is the exception that proves the rule. There are 1 in a billion such people. The winner of the largest prize in Russia claims that she has been playing Russian Lotto since the foundation of the lottery.
Reason 3 - you are an unlucky person. Luck cannot be measured mathematically. But there is such a thing as a “light hand”. Someone is luckier and wins prize tickets. And one of the 100 will pull out the only one that will bring nothing.

Should you rely on intuition - what the winners say

Intuition for many is the determining factor when buying a ticket. But what do the winners say about this? If you look at the biggest winnings in Russian history, you get a rather interesting picture.

People buy lottery tickets in hopes of winning and securing their future. The probability of becoming a winner, of course, is not very high, but it is there, so there are many who want to try their luck. Unfortunately, only a small number of citizens have an idea of what winning on a lottery ticket can entail.

Winners begin to face many problems immediately after receiving their winnings. And the point here is not in the prosecution of criminals, but in some legal consequences. My friend faced some difficulties, although she did not win such a large amount of money. This article will talk about what troubles a “lottery” winner can expect and how to protect yourself from problems.

To understand the consequences of winning the lottery, it is worth carefully studying the provisions of Russian legislation. The basic law regulating this area came into force in November 2003. The Federal Law “On Lotteries” specifies all the important points regarding the conduct of events and the selection of the winner.

The basic rule is that if the winnings are up to 1000 rubles, the winner immediately receives the entire amount. No legal liability falls on the winner. The situation is completely different with larger amounts. According to the law, all types of lottery drawings are divided into types. This is necessary for the implementation of full control by the state. Today they differ:

draw drawing. Conducted in groups, taking into account the circulation number and after all tickets have been sold;
uncirculated. A person learns about the result immediately after receiving the ticket. These are usually cards with erasable margins.

In addition, there are All-Russian and International lotteries. Taking into account the type of draws a person won, the extent of his legal liability will be determined.

Tax liability of a lottery winner

If we talk about the legal responsibility of the population, the only serious consequence for a person is the payment of taxes. The Tax Code of the Russian Federation states that the winner of a lottery is required to pay 13% of the winnings.

The amount is equivalent to the amount of income tax, but this procedure is provided for events that were held without advertising. When messages about the lottery appeared on television with advertising, the tax amount could increase to 35%. The maximum amount that is not subject to taxation is 4,000 rubles.

When the win is confirmed, do not relax. The winning person should understand that the difficulties associated with receiving money have just begun.

There are several effective tips that the player should definitely take note of:

You shouldn’t tell everyone about what happened. Whatever the amount, you should not attract the attention of others.
To receive your winnings, you must read the instructions posted on the website of the draw organizer. Violation of even the slightest recommendation may result in the cancellation of your winnings. It is worth signing the document with your own name (if this does not contradict the rules), and then making copies of the ticket on both sides. It is recommended to place the original ticket in a deposit box.
It is necessary to contact an experienced lawyer who can advise on all complex issues.
It is worth taking care of confidentiality and anonymity. The data of many winners is published in the media, which leads to serious problems. You must choose a method of receiving money that will protect your personal information. In this case, it is worth using the so-called “blind test”, when the winnings can be received anonymously.

All these tips will help you get money and then invest it in the right business. There are several other issues related to the subsequent inheritance of money. For example, the funds will be considered joint property of the spouses. In addition, money can be inherited.

How does the government protect lottery winners?

Some events allow you to protect participants of the drawing from deception. Organizers must fulfill all requirements, and more detailed information is provided in federal legislation.

Compliance with these rules is monitored by specially authorized departments. If necessary, an inspection can be scheduled at any time. If a violation is detected, the guilty person will bear administrative and even criminal liability.
