Secrets of luck or a step-by-step algorithm for winning the lottery. Types of lotteries XIV

Today we will talk about how to calculate or guess 100 percent winning number to the lottery. We will also consider methods and technologies for calculating winning number combinations in lotteries, allowing you to be guaranteed to win

According to many game fans, the most reliable way increase the likelihood of winning the lottery - purchase a large number of tickets. That is, buy not one for each drawing, but several at once lottery tickets for one circulation. As practice shows, among the lucky ones who were lucky enough to pick big jackpot in the lottery, the vast majority of those who bought several lottery tickets at once. For example, 20-year-old Brian McCartney recently won $107 million in the MegaMillions lottery. He did not calculate the combination in advance, did not try to guess the lucky numbers, but simply entrusted the computer with filling out the tickets. True, Brian bought not one lottery ticket, but 5 at once, thus he increased his chances of winning exactly 5 times.

Various methods for calculating lucky numbers are very popular among players. Numerology, astrology, and simply lucky signs are used. In addition, analysis of previous draws is widely used. Here, each player himself chooses which statistical data to focus on: someone studies the results of draws for the entire Last year, some limit themselves to a couple of months, while some players decide to analyze the lottery results for several years at once. Everyone also uses the information received differently. Some players decide to bet on the numbers that appear most often, while others, on the contrary, give preference to numbers that were previously seen less often than others.

There is also a more improved version of this system. Players study the statistics of the last 10-50 lottery draws and choose the most frequent numbers, then discard those that fell in last draw(or two). The remaining numbers are marked on the lottery tickets. Another option for using this game strategy is betting on “adjacent numbers”. All that is required of the player is to look at the numbers that came out in the previous lottery draw and bet on the numbers “neighboring” them.


According to experienced players, the most reliable method that allows you to win a million, or even several, is the method of calculating all possible combinations (reel system). Players need to calculate and use all possible combinations of a certain range of numbers. For example, if you need to guess 7 numbers out of 49, at least 8 any numbers are taken and all possible seven-digit combinations are made from them, which are then noted on lottery tickets. It is believed that such a gaming strategy significantly increases the likelihood of winning, although it still cannot guarantee a jackpot. In addition, playing the lottery in this way alone is very expensive, because you will need to buy as many tickets as there are possible combinations. But if you cooperate with someone...

By the way, in many Western countries “cooperation” when playing the lottery is very popular. So-called lottery syndicates are created there, which include work colleagues, relatives, friends, and just acquaintances. They regularly contribute money to a common fund, from which they buy many lottery tickets at once, increasing their chances of winning.

Statisticians say that calculations that significantly increase the likelihood of winning the lottery do exist, but they are very complex and confusing. Therefore, people who are far from mathematics will hardly be able to find such formulas, understand them and use them, because this will require deep knowledge. Besides, you still can’t do it without luck.

The most striking and controversial example of such “mathematical” luck is considered to be the American Joan Ginther. She was able to hit the jackpot four times! In total, her lottery winnings amounted to more than $21 million.

There is still controversy surrounding Joan's “phenomenon”. It is known that she has a PhD in statistics and teaches at a local university. Apparently, therefore, residents of the town where she lives are sure that the woman conspired with the lottery seller at the local store (and it was there that she was lucky enough to buy lottery tickets with jackpots three times), so that he would allow her to study the ticket numbers and check them. Thus, she allegedly was able to calculate the pattern between the ticket number and the possibility of winning the jackpot. But many people do not believe this and consider Joan to be simply the luckiest woman in the world. Be that as it may, the organizers of the lottery could not convict her of anything reprehensible, and therefore they always honestly paid out the money they won. The 63-year-old winner herself does not reveal her secret of success, but invites all ill-wishers to repeat her success.


People have been playing lotteries for centuries. In anticipation of the coveted prize, they enthusiastically erase the protective layer, or fill out lottery tickets with excitement and trepidation, noting “ lucky numbers" Since the advent of the lottery, players have repeatedly tried to calculate the formula for luck. The history of the lottery knows many game systems. The most popular ones are numerical or mathematical.
Game systems: successful and not so successful

« Greatest art“Life is to bet less and win more,” said the English poet Samuel Johnson. Many lottery fans agree with him. Each of them has probably wondered more than once: how to win a million? Apparently this is why some players, when filling out lottery tickets, choose not random numbers, but only those in which for some reason they are confident. They say they use own system lottery games. Of course, most of these systems do not bring much profit to game lovers, but there are also schemes thanks to which people manage to win millions in the lottery.

The main systems for playing the lottery are conventionally divided into intuitive and mathematical. The latter have a mathematical basis, while the former, as a rule, are based on signs, guesses and coincidences. Thus, people who are interested in numerology are sure that they need to bet on numbers that coincide with the date of the drawing or the person’s birthday. Astrology fans claim that to get “ correct numbers“You need to keep an eye on the Moon: each planet has a corresponding serial number - in the direction of which planet the Moon will move on the day of the drawing, such numbers will prevail in the winning combination. And the residents of Colombia generally invented a very original approach to choosing lucky combinations. They prefer to bet on the numbers present in the license plates of cars that are bombed by local terrorists from time to time.

It must be admitted that intuitive gaming systems have helped some lucky players win the lottery more than once. But most of those who prefer to play according to the system still choose strict calculation. Before going for lottery tickets, they study in detail the history of the draws, analyze the combinations that came out, and build mathematical systems for playing the lottery.

Pythagoras and other great minds of antiquity tried to calculate the probability of winning the lottery. Alan Kriegman devoted many scientific works to this topic, trying to calculate the chances of an individual player winning the Keno lottery. In his opinion, this chance directly depends on the number of bets made by the player; in other words, the more lottery tickets he fills, the higher the probability of winning.

This theory was confirmed in practice by another mathematician, Stefan Mendel, in 1992. He helped a syndicate of 2.5 thousand people hit the jackpot in the Virginia State Lottery. According to the scientist’s calculations, in the lottery, which was drawn according to the “6 out of 44” scheme, only 7,059,052 non-repeating number combinations were obtained. If you mark them all on the tickets, you will definitely win. True, you will have to spend money on tickets - $1 each, total: a little more than $7 million.

The syndicate participants simply waited until the game's jackpot significantly exceeded the planned expenses, then they began to play the lottery. Several thousand players began to buy lottery tickets in an organized manner at points of sale and in online stores. It took 72 hours, but the game was worth the candle! Fans of mathematical calculations managed to win more than 27 million dollars in the lottery, about 10 thousand for each player.

Another popular mathematical system for playing the lottery is frequency analysis. This method is based on the fact that in each game there are “hot” (dropped most often) and “cold” (dropped least often) numbers. They are calculated by analyzing the results of previous games. Afterwards, the player, depending on his own preferences, bets either on “hot” or “cold”, or combines. There are cases in the history of lotteries when such a system helped to win the lottery big. For example, Janey Callus from Texas used frequency analysis to play a local lottery and won a $21.8 million jackpot.

Another option for using mathematics to play the lottery: complete (“drum”) and incomplete systems. The reel system of the game comes down to using all possible combinations of a limited range of numbers. For example, if you need to guess 6 numbers, take at least 7 of any numbers found in the lottery and make 7 combinations from them. It turns out the following:

1. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

2. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7

3. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7

4. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7

5. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7

6. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

7. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

The numbers in the combinations are repeated, as if “spinning in a drum,” which is why the game system received the corresponding name. It is called complete because all existing combinations of selected numbers are used. You can guess that playing the lottery using such a system is quite expensive, since you need to purchase a lot of tickets. To cut costs, players created an incomplete system.
. The incomplete lottery system cuts off some combination options at the player's discretion. For example, if you need to guess the same 6 numbers, according to the incomplete system, only 5 combinations of 7 numbers are made:

1. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7

2. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7

3. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7

4. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

5. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Fans of these game schemes add that 100% winning The systems still do not guarantee, but third and fourth order prizes help you win often.
Pros and cons of mathematics in lotteries

Mathematical systems for playing the lottery have both supporters and opponents. Their use is supported by some examples of large winnings in the history of lotteries and the fact that playing according to the system increases the player’s involvement in the process, forcing him to regularly place bets, and this often leads to winnings.
A number of scientists are against mathematical systems for playing the lottery. They generally argue that predicting a lottery is not a rewarding task and it is impossible to calculate the probability of winning the lottery. Thus, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Petr Zaderey is sure: the numbers of the balls that fall out on the lottery machine are random variables, which are not amenable to mathematical analysis. Another mathematician, Pavel Lurie, claims that the probability of winning the lottery is determined randomly and the chances of each player are absolutely equal.

However, we should not forget that even scientists sometimes make mistakes, and many great discoveries were not taken seriously at first. Perhaps you will be the one to invent your own system for calculating the probability of winning the lottery. The main thing is to play and not give up if you don’t hit the jackpot the first time. And how to play the lottery, using mathematical systems or one’s own intuition, is up to everyone to decide for themselves.

It turns out that success and luck have a simple mathematical formula. It was developed by Richard Weissman, a professor at the University of Hertfordshire (UK). Moreover, he not only compiled an abstract formula for success, but was also able to back it up with practical evidence.

"The Luck Factor"

That's what it's called treatise, published by Weissman. Long years he was looking for an answer to the eternal question: why do some people manage to attract good luck, while others remain losers all their lives? The professor conducted a colossal study, the results of which were supported by a number of experiments.

At the initial stage of the project (in 1994), the scientist advertised in the local newspaper, in which he invited volunteers aged 18 to 84 years old, who considered themselves lucky and unlucky, to cooperate. In total there were about 400 people, approximately equally divided between both. For 10 years, they must undergo interviews, keep diaries, fill out various questionnaires, answer IQ tests, and participate in experiments.

For example, once the subjects were given the same issue of a newspaper in which they had to count all the photographs. Those who consider themselves lucky completed the task in a couple of minutes, while the unlucky ones needed much more time. The secret of the experiment was that already on the second page of the publication there was a large announcement: “This newspaper contains 43 photographs.” Since it itself was not accompanied by a photo, the losers did not even pay attention to it and painstakingly continued to complete the task assigned to them. And the “lucky ones” immediately found the clue.

“Lucky people look at the world with their eyes wide open, they don’t miss happy accidents. And the unlucky ones are usually immersed in their worries and do not notice anything “extra,” Professor Weissman explained in his scientific article.

In addition, lucky people are sociable; they are not afraid of changing places and making new acquaintances, which often turn out to be useful to them later. People who consider themselves unlucky, on the contrary, try to close themselves off from the outside world and live within the existing framework.


So, the formula for success, compiled as a result of ten years of work, is as follows: “U = Z + X + C.” The main components of luck (“U”): a person’s health (“H”), his character (“X”) and self-esteem (“C”), combined with a sense of humor. It turns out that the basic inclinations of “luck” are inherent in a person from birth? Richard Weissman is sure that “loser” is not a death sentence; a person can change his situation and become happy.

For this, the scientist has developed a special self-development technique that helps attract good luck. Four must be observed simple rules:

· Pay attention to everything that happens around you, learn to notice the signs of fate and take advantage of a happy occasion.

· Develop intuition, trust the “inner voice”.

· Think about the good: drive away bad thoughts and tune in to the positive.

· Learn to enjoy life in any, even the most difficult, situations.

The ability to look for positive moments even in unpleasant situations is the key to success. Psychologists have long discovered that some people, in difficult times, are able not to concentrate on troubles, but to think that things could have been worse. This feature of the psyche helps to “soften the blow” and feel lucky. This was confirmed by Professor Weissman’s “lucky” and “unlucky” people. They would have assessed the situation differently if they had been held hostage during a bank robbery and had been shot in the arm. The first considered it to be luck, since they could have died altogether. The second decided that this was a big failure, since there might not have been any injury at all.

British studies have proven that “luck”, “fortune”, “success” are subjective concepts. Any individual himself determines who he is: lucky or unlucky. Science has confirmed that a lot depends on a person’s mood and his perception of the surrounding reality.

A striking example- 54-year-old John Lin from the UK. He is called the most unlucky resident of the country. During his life, he managed to get into 20 accidents. When he was very young, John was seriously injured when he fell out of his carriage, then fell off his horse and was hit by a car. As a teenager, he suffered fractures from falling from a tree. And when he was returning from the hospital, where he was treated after this fall, his bus got into an accident and the guy again ended up in a hospital bed. As an adult, Lin was involved in accidents three more times. In addition, he is constantly haunted by natural disasters: for example, a rockfall or lightning, which struck him twice, although the chance of even one lightning strike on a person, according to the US National Weather Service, is only 1 in 600,000.

However, one can approach this list of troubles in different ways. After all, in each of the accidents, any other person could have simply died, but John Lin always survived. So maybe it's not evil rock, but, on the contrary, luck? “I can’t explain why all this is happening to me,” John shared with reporters. “But every time I’m glad I’m alive.”

This is exactly how Richard Weissman advises to perceive any failures. The main thing is to be positive. Thus, if, having decided to try his luck and buy lottery tickets, a person thinks that he will never be lucky, then luck will not smile on him. And if you believe in victory and continue to play the lottery regularly, even after several unsuccessful draws, you will definitely win a million!



Even those who have never decided to play the lottery have probably wondered: is it possible to hit the jackpot if you play according to the system? And if this is possible, what system should I use?

The so-called intuitive strategies, that is, playing according to a system based on one’s own “sixth sense,” are very popular among experienced players. For example, a person is sure that his lucky number is 3. In this case, when filling out lottery tickets, you should mark all the derivatives of this number: 3, 9, 18, 24, etc. Or numbers in which three appears: 13, 23, 33, 53 and so on. We wrote about how to find your lucky number in previous materials.

Another way to increase your probability of winning is to select numbers using a specific step. For example, in a combination of 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, the step will be 7. The step can again be the player’s lucky number or any other number.

Intuitive strategies include the so-called “zigzag of luck.” If you play according to this system, then you need to mark the numbers in such a way that they form a zigzag or other “lucky figure”. Some, for example, cross out all the numbers vertically, some cross them, and others generally in the form of certain letters of the alphabet.

Perhaps the main advantage of playing the system is its consistency. That is, the player systematically works out various combinations, looking for the key to his luck. If you play the system regularly, the probability of winning will most likely increase significantly.


And further! Experienced players are advised to remember one rule: you cannot make combinations only from popular numbers. For example, 1, 7, 13. The fact is that many people mark them on their lottery tickets every day. Therefore, even if you manage to win the lottery with these numbers a large sum, it will have to be divided between the owners of all winning tickets. As a result, even from a large jackpot there may be very little money left over.

The pendulum of luck, or how to win a million in the lottery Anyone can win a million; all you need for this is luck, luck and a lucky lottery ticket. However, some experienced players they do not want to wait long for luck to knock on their door, preferring to lure it in as quickly as possible.

For this, everyone has their own secrets of success. One of them is the use of a pendulum of luck.

The principle of the pendulum has excited the minds of people since ancient times; it was attributed to mystical power, the ability to predict the future and find answers to the most complex questions. Just remember the popular sessions of collective magic, when with the help of a homemade pendulum, girls told fortunes about their betrothed or asked for help in making important decisions.
It turns out that the pendulum can also be useful to lottery lovers in their hunt for winnings. Using a pendulum is one of the types of dowsing. One of its first manifestations in the history of mankind was the so-called dowsing, when a priest or prophet, with the help of a vine, found a source of water hidden underground.

Similarly, when playing the lottery, the pendulum helps a person find an equally important source of wealth, that is. Scientists still have not agreed on what dowsing is. Some say that the vine or pendulum is made to move by the person himself, or rather by his involuntary movements and vibrations controlled by the subconscious (ideomotor reaction).


Others argue that self-hypnosis and a person’s desire to receive one or another answer are to blame. Some call all these practices charlatanism, and some call them the result of the influence of some special psi field.

In any case, for some this practice helps to find hidden objects, for others. Using a pendulum to play the lottery is very simple.

To do this, you will need a strong thread or a thin chain about 40 centimeters long (a person chooses the length that is convenient for him in the process) and a small weight, the weight of which does not exceed 40 grams. Fans this method It is recommended to use a wedding ring (without any inserts) or a pendant made of natural stone (for example, amber or amethyst). It is important that the shape of the load is symmetrical.

Let us make a reservation that the pendulum can only be used to predict winnings. To do this, you need to hang the load on a thread, take the resulting pendulum in right hand and keep it suspended.

Place a lottery ticket or a plate with the numbers used in the selected lottery on the table (for example, if in a lottery you need to guess 5 numbers out of 36, then the table should have 36 numbers). The numbers should be written quite large so that the player can hold the pendulum over each of them and determine the nature of its movements. So, the table (or lottery ticket) is placed on the table, you need to place a pendulum over each number and wait until it starts to swing.

It is generally accepted that if the weight begins to swing clockwise, this means a positive answer, that is, there is a high probability that a ball with this number will appear in the next lottery draw. If the pendulum moves counterclockwise over a number, then the probability of it falling out is very low.

Thus, you need to hold the pendulum over each number and select those over which it rotated clockwise. If he points to more numbers than you need to guess in the lottery, you can make an expanded bet or mark all the numbers selected by the pendulum in them. Then wait until the lottery draw takes place and check if you are lucky enough to win a million.

It is important to remember that in order to use a pendulum to select lucky numbers to fill out a lottery ticket, you must choose a secluded place where no one can interfere with the upcoming magical session. You also need to be extremely focused on the desire to win the lottery, believe in victory and not give up if you didn’t hit the jackpot the first time.


Even experienced dowsers have to practice for a long time in order to get the correct answers with a high probability. In addition, it is no secret that in the lottery the main role is played not by any systems, but by chance and luck. They only help bring you closer to winning the lottery.

And the surest way to increase the likelihood of winning the lottery is to buy as many as possible, one of them will definitely be a winner!

An important branch of mathematics, which is also used in other exact sciences, is called combinatorics. Most people do not even have a basic understanding of this science. Although they are very easy to understand. To do this, it is enough to have arithmetic counting skills and be familiar with the basic four mathematical operations.
Most likely, the application of combinatorics in Everyday life will not be needed, although in some areas of activity it can be very useful.


Gambling people For those who devote a significant part of their lives to games, it is very useful to understand combinatorics. This knowledge will not hurt fans of cards or dominoes. For lovers of numbers lottery draws It is simply necessary to know the principles of this science.
Initial information, which give a chance to increase the percentage of successful draws for the player. But, first of all, you need to understand what the concept of permutation, which is elementary for combinatorics, is.


A way to arrange a number various objects in sequence form is called a permutation. It looks like this - this will be the first, this will be the third, etc.
The role of an object can be played by absolutely any objects - signs, figures, numbers, things, etc. The easiest way to explain the principle of permutation is using simple integers.
A set of numbers from 5 to 8 can be represented as the following permutations - 5678 or 5876, etc. It turns out that any four digits can be arranged in 24 ways. Therefore, the more numbers there are in a set, the wider the number of ways to arrange them.
Two numbers have only two ways of arrangement: 36 and 63.
Three numbers have six ways of arrangement.


To determine the number of options, place 5 numbers, you need to try and in the end you will get 120 options.
However, there is a simpler option for determining the number of different arrangements of numbers in any number set.
You just need to multiply all the numbers from 1 to the number of objects in the set of numbers.
This rule is easy to prove following example. A set of one number has one set of ways. A set of two numbers has two sets (2*1=2). A set of three numbers has 6 possible sets and so on -
This mathematical operation is called factorial, and its designation is Exclamation point! Pronounced "factorial of three" or "three factorial".
Thus we obtain the desired formula, which follows from the formulation of the imperial and determines its main property.


(N+1)! = N! (N+1).
Now it is easy to calculate the factorial for any numerical value, provided that the number that is less than the factorial by one is known. The concept of permutation is present by default in all formulas where there are factorials.
Next, you can consider the combination itself.


This is a way or option to select some part from the total quantity. For example, choose three numbers from five digits. This can be done in different ways, regardless of the order. It turns out that there are ten options in total. This means that the number of options is influenced by two numbers – the numbers in the set and the numbers to be selected. The formula follows from this pattern:
C(n, 1)=n С(n, k)=С(n, n-k), where n-k are the set and selectable numbers.
These concepts are used everywhere, including when calculating the occurrence of desired numbers during drawings. First, let's try to figure out how many possible outcomes there can be for one draw.


For example, a certain number of balls – n – take part in a lottery draw. After the lottery, only k numbers will appear in the draw, which will become lucky. Therefore, the number of options for dropping balls is the number of combinations of these two quantities. By substituting the numbers of different runs and the number of balls involved in them into the formula (n, k), we get the exact number of combinations.


There is a small nuance for the Megalot lottery; in addition to the usual drawing balls, there is the possibility of getting a megaball - a “megaball”, which is like another number. When calculating, it takes into account that there are ten options for it when it gets into circulation. Therefore, we multiply the number obtained in the formula by 10 - this will be the exact number of hits for this lottery.


Using these simple calculations, you can get numbers that accurately indicate the chance of winning the jackpot when purchasing one ticket. For "SuperLoto" 1 chance in 13,983,816 = 0.0000000715, and for "MEGALOT" 1 chance in 52,457,860 = 0.0000000191. Values ​​of C(k, n) for k = 1:20. Whether this is a lot or a little, judge for yourself, but keep in mind that this is when purchasing a single ticket.


Having examined in detail the lottery draws of another popular lottery, we can say that there is a chance to guess the coveted ten here too.
There are 80 balls involved in this lottery. This amounts to 1,646,492,110,120 combinations of 10 numbers. The only circulation is 184,756 tens. One possibility during the drawing that the indicated numbers will be in the draw is approximately 1 chance in 8,911,711 or 0.000000112. You can also calculate the number of drops for any number using the formula indicated earlier. In the lottery you can fill in at least two numbers, so substituting different meanings you can calculate the options, they are stable

You can also consider the reality of guessing a single partial combination. What is the probability of guessing M numbers, taking into account filling in N fields. The circulation contains C(20, M). therefore, the probability of getting the desired combination is C(20, M) / C(80, M). If N cells are filled in the set, then there will be C(N, M) options consisting of M digits. Therefore, the possibility that one of the balls will fall out is equal to the calculation amount, C(N, M) C(20, M) / C(80, M). For example:9 out of 10


This means we get a single chance out of 28 or 0.0361.
Based on this, we write out a formula for partial guessing, which is suitable for all lottery draws:


(N, M) С(T, M) / С(B, M)
B – number of balls with numbers used in the lottery
T – the number of balls that are drawn during the draw
N – number of cells filled by the player
M is the number of lucky balls for which the calculation is performed.

It should be remembered that the formula C(N, M) C(T, M) / C(B, M) is not perfectly accurate, it is approximate, but when calculated using small numbers, the error is negligible and does not influence the result.

Is it possible to win the lottery and how to do it? Which lotteries are more profitable to play? As life practice shows, winning the lottery is an event that can happen to any person.

Good day, dear readers of the business magazine HeatherBober.ru. Alexander Berezhnov and Vitaly Tsyganok are with you.

Having won some local lotteries and “smart casinos” ourselves, we generalized the topic of winning the lottery, talked with friends who regularly make good money in this business and presented our vision of this issue.

You don't have to have it to win higher education, being the son of rich parents or graduating from school with a gold medal. To win, you only need luck and faith in your own luck. It is faith that makes a person buy a lottery ticket.

Some lucky people need to buy a lottery ticket only once to win, others buy lotteries regularly (sometimes for several years in a row) until they finally receive a reward for patience and perseverance.

These questions are of interest to many - not only avid players and gambling enthusiasts - read our article about working methods and profitable technologies for playing the lottery, as well as about the largest winnings in history.

1. Is it possible to win the lottery and what should you know to do so?

Skeptics believe that only lottery organizers are the winners; optimists believe that Sportloto, Gosloto and other popular lotteries - real way achieve true financial well-being.

Let’s say right away that it is, of course, possible to win the lottery, and everyone who plays has a chance of winning the jackpot. Probability theory and mathematics with basic statistics allow for the possibility of winning any lottery ticket at any time.

However, in game theory, there is also such a thing as distance, and it is distance that is the main obstacle on the path of ordinary players to the desired wealth. In other words, a fair amount of time may pass from the moment you expect to win until you actually win. You can play the lottery for a day, a month, a year, ten years - and the probability of winning will always be approximately the same.

In this article we will try not to touch on the “mystical” aspect of the game, but it should still be mentioned.

There are players who believe in good luck spells, winning streaks, lucky days and numbers, rabbit's feet and rituals. Many films, books and television shows are devoted to examples of incredible luck. However, in reality, everything is more prosaic: when playing the lottery, we are dealing with the mathematical theory of the game and nothing more.

Of course, self-confidence and healthy optimism are conditions that work more as a plus than as a minus. A person who believes in luck is more likely to be right than a hopeless pessimist.

Nowadays they have become very popular online lotteries, which are almost no different from the “paper” and offline lotteries we are used to.

EuroMillions is a Friday lottery game played by players across Europe. The game features players from nine countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United States.

The prize consists of bets placed in each of these nine countries, and the top prize starts at €15 million. If the jackpot is not won within a week, the prize will roll over to the next week.

The biggest recorded win per person was €115 million and the biggest jackpot was €183 million. These huge jackpots have made EuroMillions one of the most successful and exciting lotteries in the entire world.

5. Examples of people with the biggest winnings in lottery history

There are a great many examples of people who received the biggest and biggest winnings in the lottery. If there are jackpots, then there are people who win them periodically.

Meet the biggest winnings in the history of world and domestic lotteries.

Among domestic lotteries, the podium is occupied by Albert Begrakyan, who hit the Gosloto jackpot in the amount of 100 million rubles in 2009.

The lucky guy bought lottery tickets regularly. Before winning, Albert worked as a security guard in a store.

The luckiest “foreign” lottery players to date are the Messners from New Jersey and Georgia truck driver Ed Nabors.

It was these people who equally divided the $390 million Mega Millions jackpot in 2007.

In Europe, the largest win is 185 million euros in the EuroMillions lottery: the prize was received in 2011 by another married couple (Kristen and Colin).

"Valuable" strategies for winning the lottery

Before buying lottery tickets, remember this rule:

Never buy more lottery tickets than the minimum winnings in a given lottery!

So, if the minimum amount that can be won in a drawing is 100 rubles, then you can spend no more than 100 rubles in one game. Buying more tickets will not increase your chance of winning the lottery.

In fact, overspending on a game has the exact opposite effect. Stress, anxiety and worries only waste your energy and put a strong barrier to your intuition.

Method two. Persistent consistency

You pick up a static (unchangeable) set of numbers that can be chosen from dates, ages, addresses, etc. In any case, you always rely completely on the luck of these numbers alone, fixating on them.

But this is the psychological trap of static numbers. Some people are attracted strange superstition related to numbers. Some people have favorite numbers, some have significant numbers, some are marked in their destiny. That's why people try to take only them. They believe that these numbers should win, and not any others.

Often such players bet on the same numbers year after year. They fall into the trap of their mind and fear, thinking that as soon as they stop betting these numbers, they will immediately win.

There are, of course, exceptions - people who received numbers in a dream, or they have strong intuition. , in fact, is a very important part of the strategy for playing the lottery. She is like a beacon that illuminates the numbers and guides your ship to victory.

How to play the lottery correctly?

You can choose one of the three methods below. All of them are based on certain choice numbers and creating a game plan. Based on these methods, you can develop your own strategy that will work for you.

Studying the pattern of numbers, you understand that randomness in its pure form does not actually exist. It is about balance and balance in the Universe. To be successful in the lottery, you need to observe how certain numbers behave. Then you need to draw conclusions and find the right numbers for your winnings.

2. Next to each number, put a number indicating how many times this number was out of the game, and how many times it was in the game.

3. Enter the average value into the table. For example, if the number “2” came up 3 times in games, and did not come up 1 time, then in the end you need to enter the number 2 into the table. If it’s a draw, it’s zero.

5. After each drawing, the data table must be updated in order to have up-to-date information on the participation of numbers in the game.

Notes and feature articles for deeper understanding of the material

¹ Jackpot - prize fund in some slots, lotteries and others gambling(Wikipedia). How to win

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 in offshore companies. 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 the draws 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 funds to 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 figure out the “problems” that prevent them from broadcasting online directly during (and not later or earlier) 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. Neither the circulation commission nor the audience sitting directly in the studio will be able to find fault.

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 Sports”. 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 If you participate in “7 out of 49,” you will have to spend 100 rubles.

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 there were 2 main operators left in the Russian Federation 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.
