"Someone has to get lucky." How Belarusians are trying to hit the million-ruble jackpot

The first draw of Sportloto took place on October 20, 1970, at the Central House of Journalists. The format was based on the game keno, one of the world's oldest numerical lotteries. The Soviet version used the “6 out of 49” formula. The game immediately became popular; 1.5 million tickets were sold for the first edition, and within a week. This is all the more surprising since only Muscovites took part in the first draw; other cities joined the game gradually. Subsequently, each drawing accounted for up to 10 million tickets.

Membership circulation commission decided to invite famous athletes, later it became a tradition. In the first draw, the drawing was followed by the famous football and hockey player Vsevolod Bobrov, commentator Nikolai Ozerov and his colleague Nina Eremina, a former basketball player.

The winner of the first drawing was Lidia Morozova, an engineer-economist from Moscow, who received Grand Prize- 5000 rubles. For the country average salary which at that time did not exceed 200 rubles, the amount was truly gigantic. You could use your winnings to buy a new Moskvich car.

Subsequent circulations were carried out through. At that time, they resembled draws of a cash and clothing lottery: members of the commission spun a transparent drum and with their hands took out balls with winning numbers. At first, tickets were sold in Moscow, the second city, in February, became Baku

In 1971, the distribution network expanded: in March Yerevan was added, then (we indicate in the same order as we connected) - Odessa. Lvov, Kyiv, Tallinn, Zaporozhye, Sverdlovsk, Rostov-on-Don and Leningrad.

In the first 12 months, 70 million Sportloto cards were sold; participants received winnings worth 10,265,670 rubles - half the amount received from the sale of lottery tickets. The first year brought many big wins. Despite the fact that 5,000 rubles were paid for the correct six (very big money at that time), almost 10 people.

Also, in the first year it was possible to create 17 zonal Sportloto departments, and by the end of 1973 it was planned to cover all regions of the country

"Sportloto-2"

On October 20, 1973, a second game appeared - Sportloto-2, the circulation of which took place after the main one. The “Sportloto-2” card cost 60 kopecks, since it took part in two draws held on the same day, thereby increasing the chances of winning. And drawings began to be carried out using a lottery machine, which was designed and built Chief Engineer Väino Paasik and mechanic Kalju Turja from the SKB Academy of Sciences of the Estonian SSR. The device they created mechanically mixed and automatically extracted the winning balls.

On January 10, 1974, draws of the Sportloto lotteries began to be held in Moscow, at the studio Central television and broadcast on the first program and the Vostok and Orbita systems, and millions of lottery fans got the opportunity to watch the draws on TV. As musical accompaniment Gershon Kingsley’s melody “Puffed Corn” was used, performed by an ensemble led by Meshcherin.

Sportloto 5 of 36

On August 14, 1976, the first draw of a new sports-numbers lottery with the formula “5 out of 36”, called “Saturday Sports Lotto,” took place. The cards of this lottery took part in a draw that consisted of two drawings held weekly on Saturdays.

Announcement of lottery 5 out of 36 (first name “Saturday Sportloto”) in the newspaper “Soviet Sport”

New circulation devices were put into operation - pneumotrons, in which the mixing of balls was carried out by a jet of compressed air. “Saturday Sports Lotto” was intended to finance the XXIII Summer Olympic Games in Moscow in 1980. 36 Olympic sports were assigned conditional sport numbers.

Additional ball and other innovations

In 1977, (from the 37th draw), in order to increase the popularity of the “6 out of 49” lottery, an additional bonus ball was played in it, which increased the likelihood of winning the lottery. In August 1978, all numerical lotteries were transferred to non-draw cards. The maximum winning amount was increased from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles. Draws of the “6 out of 49” and “5 out of 36” lotteries (formerly “Saturday Sports Lotto”) began to be held every Saturday, the drawing was carried out using a pneumatic machine.

In January 1981, another change in the conditions of the game took place, the purpose of which was to make it more exciting and offer participants more options for filling out tickets. The Sportloto draw began to be carried out not from four, but from two draws - one for “6 out of 49”, the other for “5 out of 36”. The ticket itself has also changed; another field has been added so that you can participate in two options (combinations)

Taking into account the numerous wishes of the players who asked to return to the previous mechanical method of mixing balls, the circulation machines were replaced on January 1, 1982. Draws began to be carried out on two new lottery machines producing simultaneous extraction five or six balls with winning numbers. In January 1985, they were improved, and they began to remove the balls not all together, but one by one.

In 2016, there were 1,078 drawings of the Sportloto 6 out of 49 lottery. During this period, the amount of fees amounted to (on average) 452,683 rubles per draw. Considering that bets on “6 out of 49” cost only 20 rubles, it turns out that each draw involves a little more than 20 thousand combinations, for a lottery with such numerical formula this is ridiculously small. Since the probability of guessing 6 out of 49 is 1 in 13,983,816, then with the current number of bets it is hardly worth expecting that the main prize will be guessed more than 1-2 times a year.

Why, it’s a six, with such a “mass”, not even a five is guessed in every draw (chance 1 in 54,201)

Anti-record 2016, circulation No. 24236 - only 6200 combinations are involved

The lottery is saved only by the small cost of the bet compared to other games. Still, 20 rubles, this is five times less than in the flagship Stoloto lotteries. But there is also a significant drawback - the payment for the top five is small, 30-45 thousand rubles. In the same Gosloto lottery “6 out of 45” the chance of guessing a five is even higher - 1 in 34,808, and the payout for it is higher. Sometimes ten or more times...

Nevertheless, the Sportloto 6 out of 49 lottery works, the turnover is growing year by year - in 2015 it was 202 million, in 2016 it more than doubled and became 487 million rubles. This is due to the effect of a low base in the past and the small cost of the bet compared to other lotteries. The average turnover per circulation is also growing, this is clearly visible in the 2016 figures.

But, in the diagram above, I deliberately excluded data from two circulations. Because they change a lot big picture. Here's what it looks like taking into account all the circulations.

lottery 6 out of 49 for 2016, turnover for 2016, from draw No. 24231 to No. 25308

Against the backdrop of average values, when the turnover of one draw is plus/minus 500 thousand rubles, the figures for these draws are impressive - No. 24996, the fees amounted to 28,267,400 rubles, No. 25216 - 21,743,760 rubles. This is 40-50 times more than usual! Two circulations brought the operator 50 million rubles, almost 10% annual turnover! What's the secret? It's simple - these are distribution circulations

Distribution of accumulated

According to the law, if no one has guessed the main prize within a year, the operator is obliged to distribution circulation, in which the accumulated amount will be forcibly divided among other prize categories. For players this interesting option, since payments are received more than usual. If no one guesses the main prize.

circulation no., November 30, 2016
Players placed 1,087,188 bets (366,833 receipts). Winning combination— 33, 39, 30, 23, 31, 10 and bonus ball 45. No one guessed either 6 numbers or 5 + 1

  • 3 numbers - 300 rubles
  • 4 numbers - 7,225 rubles
  • 5 numbers - RUB 1,101,123.

5 numbers matched to 9 lottery tickets. The owners of eight of them received a winnings of 1,101,123 rubles each, and one - thanks to an expanded bet - won 4,633,242 rubles.

In 2017, the distribution circulation took place quite recently, on July 19, circulation No. 25900
By this time, more than 30 million had already accumulated, which were planned to be played out. The distribution was supposed to be according to the old scheme - 150 additional rubles for 3 guessed numbers. The remaining amount was distributed in the following percentage

  • 4 correct numbers - 35%
  • 5 correct numbers - 30%
  • 5 correct numbers + bonus ball - 35%.

Players, excited by the opportunity to once again take part in the pie, placed a record number of bets - 2,229,714 (778,658 receipts). But the distribution circulation did not take place. There was nothing left to distribute. Because one of the participants guessed 6 numbers and, single-handedly, won a record prize - 39 827 827 rub.

It is known that the ticket was issued in Moscow, on stoloto.ru. There is no further information about the winner. As well as other details or news - whether the winner visited Stoloto’s office or collected his prize - we don’t know all this yet. And we’re unlikely to find out at all; most likely the winner will join the ranks of a group no one has ever heard of. And he won't hear.

Pleasant expectations

Grade: 4

A very convenient procedure for buying a ticket on the Internet, I pay 50 rubles from my Qiwi wallet. On weekends I sit in front of the TV and wait for the win. I give preference state lottery, so reliable. I want to win, I’m waiting for luck to smile again. I believe that this will definitely happen again!

I like the lottery

Grade: 5

The 6 out of 49 lottery is attractive for several reasons:
1. Presented simple rules to win. You need to guess 6 arbitrary numbers from the 49 presented. Nothing difficult, but the probability of winning is scanty. To increase the chance, you can choose more combinations. To do this, you need to select more than 6 digits and pay the increased ticket price.
2. You can select the number of draws in which the ticket will participate. The more circulations, the higher the ticket price.
With 6 numbers selected in 3 draws, the ticket will cost 150 rubles. For example, if you choose 8 numbers for 3 draws, the ticket price will be 4,200 rubles.
3. There is a chance to try your luck and take advantage of chance by selecting “Automatic ticket filling”.
4. You can play online mode, without wasting time.
5. The lottery is held 3 times a day, which gives you the opportunity to try your luck at any time.
6. The site lists frequently and rarely appearing numbers in the public domain. Statistics can be used, if desired, when filling out a ticket.

Won 500 rubles

Grade: 4

I chose this lottery when I went to the Stoloto website via a banner. I just pointed my finger at the sky and saw a lottery, the drawing of which was closest in time. I was able to see the results of the draw only the next day, and there a gift of 500 rubles was waiting for me in my personal account.
Tickets are very inexpensive; you can afford to buy 1-2 such tickets a couple of times a month. It won't hurt your pocket too much, but it's a chance to win a large sum Everyone has it.

Big difference in ticket prices

Grade: 4

The most attractive thing about this lottery is the cheapness of tickets - only 50 rubles. This cost will be if 6 numbers are marked in the field and 1 combination is received, but if 7 numbers are marked in the field, then the cost of the ticket increases sharply by 7 times. The difference is huge, but the chance of winning also increases, there are no longer 1, but 7 combinations.
The rules are quite simple, you need to guess at least 3 numbers and the winnings will be equal to 375 rubles, then in percentage terms. I also really like that you don’t have to wait long for the draw, they take place three times a day. The minimum guaranteed super prize of 5,000,000 rubles is of course a deception, I have not yet seen a real win, but I think that there should be no deception, everything is official. If I'm away from the computer, I watch the draw through mobile version site, very convenient and modern.

Legendary soviet game

Grade: 4

6 out of 49 is a legendary Soviet game. Currently the circulation is carried out 3 times a day. Cool! The peculiarity of this game is that there is a bonus ball involved, which can increase your winnings. I kept track of the numbers that came up most frequently and crossed them out and put them into play.
I also like that the odds in this game, like in roulette, are 50/50. This means, in principle, any combination of numbers can win. Then I use intuition to help, and forget about my system for a while. All you have to do is change the combination, and you are sure to win!

Any lottery should be treated as an investment

Grade: 5

I like that in the SportLoto 6 out of 49 lottery I can choose the numbers I need. No one decides for me which numbers to play on, like in other lotteries. You can participate in drawings every day, they take place 3 times a day, you can place your bets at least every time. I often buy tickets for this lottery at our post office, at the point of sale. It is also possible to purchase a ticket online on the website. Winnings up to 2,000 rubles can also be obtained at points of sale.

No jackpot yet

Grade: 4

I like this lottery because 1 ticket can participate not in the 1st draw, but in several at once, you just need to mark in the appropriate field the number of draws in which you want to participate. Ticket sales end 20 minutes before the start of the drawing. Sometimes, due to the slowdown of mobile banking or WebMoney, it is not possible to buy tickets at a certain time. But they do not burn out, but are simply transferred to another circulation. Even if you miss the draw, you can always see its results in your personal account, since they are saved in the system.
Another big plus is that the broadcast of the drawing can be seen online - there is a special transition button on the website. I don’t think that this is some kind of pyramid or scam, because the organizer of the lottery is the Russian Ministry of Finance, and not some unknown company.

Time-tested lottery

Grade: 5

Now the "6 out of 49" lottery operates on the basis state support and control, which personally gives me increased confidence, unlike other lotteries. When choosing the proposed 6 numbers out of 49 possible, the cost of the ticket is only 50 rubles. The rules provide for the possibility of increasing the chances of winning. To do this, you need to select up to 15 numbers in 1 playing field. For getting monetary reward You need to guess at least 3 numbers. The winning amount in this case will be 375 rubles. If 4,5,6 numbers match, the winning amount is divided proportionally by the number happy tickets and distributed among the winners.

Revived lottery

Grade: 3

I saw a site where this game was revived. I liked that it shows combinations of frequently dropped, rarely dropped numbers and those that bring winnings. You don't even need to think about anything. They also told me that people rarely use numbers after 30, but they can easily win. So, I wrote the combination and won 3 numbers, but, unfortunately, many people guessed them, so my winnings were about 400 rubles.

Super prize size is fixed

Grade: 4

The difference between this lottery is that it has a guaranteed minimum super prize - 5 million rubles. That is, not like in other lotteries, where the super prize depends on the number of tickets purchased and the balance of unplayed amounts. True, guessing a lucky combination in this regard is not so easy: there are as many as 49 cells on the fields, and only six correctly guessed ones win. However, there is an option to increase your chances of winning - to do this, you need to fill in more cells in the fields, the maximum possible number is 17 pieces if you play online and 19 if you buy a ticket at a kiosk or at the post office. The number of draws in which a ticket participates can also be set at your own discretion - at least one, at least 20. But the ticket price also soars geometric progression. And, of course, there is no guarantee of hitting the jackpot.

State lottery with real winnings

Grade: 5

Today Stoloto offers many different lotteries for every taste, everyone can choose what they like. "Sportloto 6 out of 49" is no different in its drawing principle from similar lotteries with other combinations of numbers. The game consists of the same lottery machines in the studio, and the participants wait and mark the numbers on the randomly drawn balls on the tickets. The essence is clear to anyone, even a schoolchild.
