Lottery is one of the most popular gambling, in which it is possible to win a large sum money and expensive clothing prizes. The conduct of lotteries in Russia is regulated at the legislative level, so participants can count on the honesty of accredited organizers.
Below you will find tips on choosing the type of lottery, ways to increase your chances of winning, a list of popular Russian lotteries, as well as a rating of the biggest winnings.
Which type of lottery is better to choose?
Lotteries may differ in how they are conducted. Based on this feature, there are two types:
- Draw lottery - prize fund is played between all participants, and the game is played at a time after the sale of lottery tickets for a certain date and time. According to Russian legislation, during the drawing, only one piece of equipment is allowed to be used to determine the winning combination of numbers or symbols - in order to avoid fraud.
- No-draw lottery(instant) - information for determining winnings is included in tickets at the time of their creation. You can find out the result immediately after purchasing a game card by erasing the protective coating under which the hidden symbols are located. Their combination determines the absence or presence of winnings, as well as its size.
When choosing a type, you should consider some features:
- In lotteries, the prize pool is often larger. As a rule, the participant has the opportunity to independently choose the combination that, in his opinion, will be winning. In this case, you will have to wait for the drawing to take place.
- In non-draw lotteries, the winnings are smaller, but, according to statistics, people win them more often. Another advantage is that the result can be found instantly.

How to win the lottery? A bad soldier is one who does not dream of becoming a general. To paraphrase, we get: “Everyone who buys a lottery ticket dreams of hitting the big jackpot.” What are the chances of winning? And in general, is there any point in buying tickets in the hope of winning? And the most main question What worries most players is whether there are strategies to increase their chances when playing. Read on and find out everything.
The biggest winnings in Russia and the world
First, let's look at how much money people have won in lotteries here and abroad.
Winning a big jackpot in the lottery is unlikely, but quite realistic. And many “lucky ones” are proof of this. Having received several million by chance, they immediately changed their lifestyle, achieving a fairly stable financial situation that helped them live life to the fullest and not think about where and how to make money. It is these examples of winners that push the majority to buy lottery tickets in the hope of catching luck by the tail.
The biggest winnings in Russia
So, who are these lottery winners?
951 thousand in 2008 was won by a resident of Tolyatti. According to him, he has been buying lottery tickets for 23 years. During this time, he developed his own strategy for guessing numbers. But strangely enough, the right combination came to him in a dream. After receiving the winnings, he said that he would continue to play lotteries.
A resident of a small village in the Kurgan region has become exactly a million richer. Luck smiled on him in January 2008. He instantly became the richest guy in the village and an eligible bachelor.
In 2011, the jackpot went to the Samara region. A 27-year-old resident, having spent only 100 rubles on a purchase, became richer by as much as 2.5 million. The money was spent on purchasing real estate.
4 million - that’s exactly the amount she won married couple from Samara region. They spent all the money on a good cause - building a church.
A resident of Ufa won 30 million on New Year's Eve - December 30, 2001. At that time it was the largest win in Russia. A total of 6 tickets were purchased, one of which became lucky. Not only the whole of Ufa, but also the country learned about the record winnings. A heap of money that unexpectedly fell from the sky turned the family's head. Money began to be spent thoughtlessly: alcohol, gambling, entertainment. As a result, 10 years after winning, the family spent almost all the money and began to live almost as modestly as before the significant date.
35 million went to a Moscow resident in 2009. A little more than 500 rubles were spent on tickets. The man used this money to start a business in the village where he was from.
Albert Bagrakyan, a resident of a St. Petersburg suburb, won 100 million rubles in 2009. A native of Armenia who emigrated to Russia in 2001, he did not hide his name or appearance. Moreover, 2 years after winning, he gave a detailed interview to the press - how much and on what he spent all his winnings.
The money was spent on building a hotel, purchasing and decorating several apartments, and purchasing premium cars (for myself and relatives). 2 million was donated to charity. Albert lent about 12 million to his friends. By the way, almost no one returned the debt to him. Well, the rest of the money went to pay taxes.
The winnings of 184 million went to a resident of Omsk in February 2014. The man spent on happy shopping 810 rubles. It is unknown how his fate turned out, but he planned to go to live in warmer climes, buying a house on the seashore.
The largest lottery win in Russian history was 358 million rubles. This happened during the Gosloto draw in February 2016. The winner, a resident of Novosibirsk, for obvious reasons, decided not to advertise his identity.
The biggest lottery winnings in the world
The biggest winnings in Russia are hundreds of millions. The situation is similar in the world, only the amounts here are calculated in dollars (euros, pounds). As a result, in absolute numbers, lottery winnings in developed countries can bring lucky people 50-100 times more than in our country. The explanation is quite simple - the cost of lottery tickets abroad is many times higher and the circulation of sold out lotteries is tens of times higher than in Russia, so we get phenomenal prize funds.
- 425 million went to a California pensioner in 2014. It is noteworthy that grandfather practically a whole month did not inform the lottery organizers of his victory in any way. He showed up to claim his winnings on April Fool's Day, April 1, wearing a Star Wars-themed T-shirt with the inscription "May the luck of the Jedi be with me."
- $488 million was played among 3 participants in 2013.
- $587 million in 2012. The prize fund was shared by 2 winners.
- 590 million went to a Florida resident in the 2013 jackpot drawing. This is the largest win that went to one winner.
- $640 million in 2012. The winnings were divided between 3 lucky winners.
The largest jackpot was won in 2016. The total amount was (and this is not a joke) a mind-blowing 1.5 billion dollars!!! It was shared among three winners. Each received $528 million.
Money generator - what's inside
The lottery is a clearly structured business based on people’s desire to get rich quickly and on simple mathematical statistics. The lottery organizers form the prize fund from cash proceeds from tickets sold. Moreover, this amount is never equal to the proceeds from the sale. Certain part, usually half immediately goes to current expenses (maintaining current activities, ticket printing, distribution, employee salaries, advertising and others) and, of course, into the pocket of the organizers, in the form of net profit.
It turns out only part money is coming for the draw. And if only half. In some lotteries, the share of cash prizes drawn is only 35-40% of all funds collected during the draw. The result is an initially unfavorable prospect for the participants. This is called negative mathematical expectation. When the invested amounts are obviously greater than the total prize fund. This is exactly what almost all gambling games are built on. A striking example- roulette in a casino. But playing in a casino is more profitable than buying lottery tickets.
Simplified, the lottery can be represented as the following picture. 3 people invest 10,000 rubles each and want to play the 30 thousand received among themselves. Winner takes all. To do this, they invite an independent point guard. For his services, he takes 15 thousand for himself. As a result, the “lucky” person will only get the remaining 15 thousand rubles. It's stupid, isn't it? But it is precisely the role of such an intermediary, distributing winnings, that is performed by the lottery, represented by its organizers.
The only advantage is the accumulating jackpot, which can be carried over to the next drawing, gradually increasing in size. As a result, it can significantly exceed the amount of tickets sold in the circulation.
Types of lotteries
From all the variety of possibilities presented at common man could blow the roof off. There are 2 simple tips here:
- Play only domestic lotteries, so as not to go to another country to receive your winnings.
- Select only the most popular draws. Firstly, this is to talk about the honesty of the organizers. Secondly, they usually have a very substantial prize fund.
Conventionally, all lotteries can be divided into 2 categories:
Instant
The simplest ones. The result can be seen immediately after purchasing a ticket. Information about winning (or not winning) is already indicated on the ticket. Simply wipe off the protective layer. Small prizes, usually up to 3 - 5 thousand, can be obtained immediately without leaving the cash register - at the point of purchase. For large ones you need to contact the organizers. There is only one drawback - the possibility of manipulation of the prize fund by the organizer, namely large winnings. Winning tickets may simply not go on sale or may be available in smaller quantities.
There is another nuance. Organizers, when releasing tickets for sale, cannot accurately determine in advance what percentage of the circulation will be sold: 100, 50 or just 20%. A prize tickets For a certain amount you need to print in advance. There are, of course, certain data based on past sales statistics. But to prevent it from happening that the prize fund in the draw was 10 million, but only 2 million worth of tickets were sold and 3 million worth of winning tickets were purchased, the organizers are hedging their bets by reducing the number and amount of winning tickets to a very modest figure.

- with the opportunity to play several games for free
The advantage is that there is a fairly high probability of getting lucky tickets. And although the size of such winnings is very small (usually 5-10 times the cost of the ticket), there are a lot of them.
circulation
More popular compared to instant ones. They, in turn, are divided into 2 types. Some already have a set of numbers printed on them. In others, the participant is given the right to choose his favorite combinations of numbers. And although the probability of winning in both cases is the same, it is the latter that is preferred by avid fans of practical jokes, when you can influence the results yourself (or so they think).
Chances of winning the lottery
Everyone who buys a coveted lottery ticket hopes to hit the jackpot. Well, at least win a large amount of money. What are the real chances of winning? What is the probability of winning the lottery?
If you take such popular lotteries as 5 out of 36 or 6 out of 45, then the probability of winning directly depends on the number of numbers in the draw. If the probability of matching just 2 numbers is 1 in 8 in the “5 out of 36” lottery, then to get the main prize you need to guess all 5 numbers. And here the probability of choosing the right combinations decreases by almost 50 thousand times and amounts to 1: 376,992.
The chances of winning in various lotteries depend on the number of numbers guessed and the range of numbers participating in the drawing. Increasing just one number for the main prize draw immediately reduces the probability of winning by tens of times.
An anecdote on topic.
Old Abram asked God every day in his prayers:
God! Help me win the lottery!
A month, a year, 10 years passed. And then one day, kneeling down to pray and asking for help, Abram heard the voice of God:
- Abram! Give me a chance! Buy a lottery ticket at least once!
Here's the math showing the odds of getting winning combinations for the most popular lotteries.
5 out of 36
6 out of 45
7 of 49
It turns out that the greatest chance of hitting the jackpot is in Gosloto “5 out of 36”, but the prize fund here is the lowest of the above. The probability of winning the “7 out of 49” lottery is 230 times less, but the prize fund is also more significant.
In order to understand which lottery is most profitable to play, you just need to calculate the probability of winning per invested ruble.
On at the moment The following data is available:
We received the amount of winnings for each invested ruble. But the probability of hitting the jackpot is different for everyone. We need to equalize the chances of winning the main prize for all three lotteries. How to do this? Increase the amount of money invested in 2 other lotteries.
For example. If the chance of winning is 10% with a ticket price of 100 rubles, by spending 200 rubles and buying 2 tickets, we increase the probability of winning to 20%, with an investment of 300 rubles - up to 30%, and so on. Let's do the same with our examples.
The highest probability of winning in Gosloto 5 out of 36 is 1: 376,922. Accordingly, we need to increase investments in other lotteries by purchasing more tickets, thereby leveling the probability for all three draws.
The result was the following data:
The results were quite unexpected. With the same probability of winning, the most profitable lottery turned out to be 5 out of 36. The difference from the last one (7 out of 49) is almost 230 times.
How to win the lottery - 5 effective tricks
Hundreds of studies have been conducted on the topic of increasing the likelihood of winning the lottery. Throughout the history of the existence of this type of drawings, everyone, from ordinary players to scientists, has been trying to find a winning system that allows them to receive guaranteed money. Well, or at least significantly increase the chances of success. Thousands of different variations have been developed, from simple to the most complex, using the latest computer technology.
But as time has shown, it is impossible to create a profitable system. The chances of winning by choosing numbers using your own algorithms and those placed in random order are the same. And it doesn’t matter whether you bought a lottery ticket for the first time in your life or have been playing for 20 years, everyone has the same chances.
The probability of a person being hit by lightning is 1 in 600,000. This is tens of times lower than the probability of hitting the jackpot. But people play... and win!!!
However, do not rush to get upset. There are a number of techniques and tricks that allow you to gain some advantage over other players. We need to make a reservation right away. They will not affect the probability of winning in any way; they will not make it higher or lower. Everyone has the same chances. But you can achieve a significant increase in potential winnings for the same money spent.
When some people buy tickets for 100 rubles, hoping to win 5-10 thousand or even 30 million, with the same money you will be able to get amounts 2 - 10 - 50 times higher.
Game against everyone
On the ticket you need to choose the numbers that other participants use the least. The meaning of the strategy is that when winning combinations with popular numbers appear, the prize is divided between several participants. It could be 2, 100 or 1000 people. If a combination with unpopular numbers comes up, then a much smaller number of people will participate in the division. In some cases, the number of people winning can be reduced tens of times with one winning category. And it is better to divide the prize among 5 people than among 50 or even 100.
What numbers to choose? Let's go from the opposite. The range from 1 to 31 occurs 70% more often than others. This is due to the habit of people to associate everything with significant dates, first of all, this is, of course, the birthday: 12 months in a year, 31 days in a month, year of birth - numbers from 0 to 10.
The numbers 6 and 13 are considered bad.
Even numbers are chosen less frequently than odd numbers.
Another pattern is that most people choose numbers that are not next to each other on the ticket: neither horizontally nor vertically. According to probability theory, all numbers have exactly the same chance of being drawn. Whether it’s 1,2,3 or 5, 15,27,31, the system doesn’t care.
Numbers from the first half of ten (21, 33, 14) are chosen a little more often than from the last half (28, 19, 29, 46).
By choosing unpopular numbers and combinations, you can increase the size of your potential winnings several times at once.
Increased main prize
Another way to increase your chances of winning is to not win the jackpot. The amount increases with each draw and, accordingly, the amount of winnings for each invested ruble becomes higher. Therefore, in such draws it is better to buy lottery tickets for a larger amount.
Example. Every week you participate in a drawing of 5,000 million rubles by buying one ticket for 100 rubles. For several months, the main prize was not won and amounted to 100,000 million rubles. Since the probability of winning in all draws is the same, but the winning amount has increased 20 times, it is more advisable to buy not one, but several tickets each draw.
It’s better not to buy tickets at all (and save money) until the prize fund increases several times. And at the moment of its strong increase, use the accumulated money to buy 10-20-30 tickets at a time. After the lucky one is decided, we go into “hibernation” again and save money until the right moment.
Distribution circulation
If during the year no one has been able to win the main prize, then a distribution draw is held. This is required by law.
If main winner it is again undecided, then the entire jackpot is distributed among all participants who received any winning combinations in the appropriate proportion. Conventionally, if the prize fund was 50 million and the main prize was 200,000 million, then real gain everyone grows 5 times at once.
Experienced players always participate in such draws. After all, this is a real chance to get much more for the same money.
Same combination
Instead of constantly inventing new combinations of numbers with each new draw, you need to select the desired set for yourself in advance and use it in all future draws. And then all that remains is to wait for a happy occasion. Experienced players can also analyze the archive of past winnings and eliminate all previously repeated combinations. And from the remaining ones, choose the one you need. The probability of getting similar combinations a second time is very unlikely, especially those consisting of 5-6 digits.
Faith in luck
This is not a scientific method, rather a psychological one. But it’s not for nothing that they say: “Thoughts are material” or “To become a millionaire, you need to feel like a million.” There is an opinion that everything in the world is interconnected: thoughts, emotions, actions. And your behavior and attitude directly affect your life. There are many examples in life when a person’s desires or fears materialized. This is all very interestingly described in the film “The Secret”. For those who haven't seen it, I recommend watching it.
Therefore, when buying lottery tickets, you don’t need to say to yourself: “I’ll lose, it’s not scary, it’s not a big loss. The ticket costs only 100 rubles.” Think positively, sincerely believe in luck and you will be happy.
An anecdote on topic.
The teacher says: “Children, there is no God! Let's show him the sky!” All the children show, only Moishe is missing.
Teacher: “Moishe! Why don't you show it?
Moisha: “Marya Ivanovna! If there is no God, then who should we show it to? And if it exists…..why show it then?”
Tax on winnings
Few people think about taxes when buying lottery tickets. And by the way, timely payment is the responsibility of every citizen. At least that’s what is written in the Russian tax code. We will leave it up to the “lucky” ones who received the winnings to pay or not to pay. But it doesn’t hurt to know why and how much you need to pinch off from your winnings in favor of the state.
Absolutely all types of winnings are subject to taxation. But here they are divided into 2 types.
- Risk-based, betting and associated with direct costs to participants. We are talking here primarily about buying lottery tickets. All winnings received are taxed at a rate of 13%. And it doesn’t matter what amount you won: 100 million or 100 rubles.
- Incentive lotteries. These are sweepstakes related to the promotion of their products. Usually carried out in stores, hypermarkets and large companies, in order to attract new customers and increase their trust. The prizes are usually not money, but various gifts, trips and other goods. This whole thing is taxed at a rate of as much as 35% of the value of the winnings.
Winnings up to 4 thousand rubles are not subject to taxation. This amount also falls under the category of tax deductions and reduces the total amount of taxes. That is, for example, you won a phone for 10,000 rubles, then a tax of 35% must be paid not on the full amount, but on a reduced amount of 4 thousand. As a result, the tax will be 35% of 6,000 rubles - 2,100. And not 3,500 rubles.
How to pay tax?
There are only 2 options: lucky or unlucky.
Usually, lottery organizers are tax agents and themselves transfer the necessary amounts to the budget for you. You receive your winnings minus the withheld tax. In this case, you are lucky (if you did not want to pay taxes, then you are unlucky).
The second option is to pay money to the budget yourself. To do this, you need to fill out a declaration, submit it to the tax office at your place of residence and, of course, transfer the money to the budget.
In conclusion
Statistics say that everyone has an equal chance of winning. And it is impossible to influence the probability of winning numbers falling out. The only leverage available to players is the ability to change the size of the potential winnings, when for the same money you can win much larger sums than other players.
This is especially true for regular players who regularly buy lottery tickets and have some statistics on winnings. Following simple tips will allow them to buy tickets at the right time, in more profitable lotteries and profitable draws.
For example, if a player over the course of a year, buying one ticket every week for 100 rubles, has collectively won 3,000 rubles in small winnings, then using the above tips, it is quite possible to increase the winning amount several times at similar costs.
The priority rules are the selection of lotteries and draws with biggest win for every ruble invested, or playing against the crowd, choosing the most unpopular combinations of numbers on the ticket.
One way to earn a large sum of money quickly is to win the lottery. Although this activity is associated with great risk, however, if you analyze the rules of the game and identify the main trends, you can develop winning strategies. Also, to win you need faith in success and a little luck. According to mathematical statistics, winning the lottery is possible. Any ticket purchased anywhere can win. In gaming, there is a term “distance”, which shows how quickly a person can receive a reward. The point is that you can try your luck in the game for as long as you like (from several days to several months). It is impossible to predict exactly when the jackpot will occur, since all tickets have the same probability of winning. That is, both a beginner and a pro can get money. In addition, many players believe in special conspiracies, spells, lucky numbers, with which you can get into a winning streak. Stories of people associated with their successful use are demonstrated in literary works, TV series and films. Of course, the importance of faith in special signs and one’s own strengths is difficult to overestimate. But any player also counts on basic mathematical statistics and probability theory.

People who won a lot of money in the lottery
Russian players will probably remember the story of Albert Begryank. He bought lottery tickets for several years, until in 2009 he hit the jackpot worth 100 million rubles in Gosloto. The biggest win in EuroMillions amounting to 185 million euros was received by Kristen and Colin in 2011. A young couple bought a lottery ticket for the first time to try their luck. Both victories are recognized as records in the history of domestic and world games. Even earlier, Ed Nabors, a driver from Georgia, and the Messners from New Jersey guessed the combination of the MegaMillions draw, which brought them $390 million. Of course, the prize had to be divided among all the winners .In the crisis year of 2009, Russian Evgeny Sidorov won 35 million rubles. Given the unstable exchange rate of the national currency, this amount was more attractive than it is now. Evgeniy, as an avid gambler, hoped for success every time he bought a ticket. He profitably invested the money he earned in his own business.
Frequency analysis. The essence of the strategy comes down to tracking winning combinations for one month. The numbers that come up more often than others are called “hot”. If the same number appears at least 2 times out of 4 games, then most likely it will appear in the next draws. This strategy helped American Jeni Callus hit the $21 million jackpot in Texas Lotto. Moreover, she did not have enough information to analyze a specific game. She used data from other games. Multi-draw bets are the choice of the same combination in each game. This strategy helped the winner of the 1157th tirade of the “5 out of 36” lotto receive a prize of 1.8 million rubles. As Vitaly Dmitrievich admits, he simply went ahead, because he was sure that his strategy would work sooner or later. It took six months to turn the dream into reality.

Lucky numbers and lucky numbers for the lottery
If you have to cross out numbers in the lottery, then let at least one of them be significant to you. For example, if your date of birth is 05/20/1966, then you need to select 20 or 5 or 22 on the ticket (the four digits of the year should be summed up). Some players believe that the date the ticket was purchased is also important. To increase your chances of winning, it is better to purchase a coupon on your birthday. If you were born on October 11, then you should purchase a lottery ticket on the 11th of each month. As for the days of the week, Monday and Tuesday (first half of the day) and Saturday and Sunday (afternoon) are considered the most favorable for purchasing.How did life turn out after winning, where was the money spent?
As sociological research shows, lottery winners behave cautiously, strive to preserve their wealth and try their luck again. The lucky ones are very afraid of the money that has fallen on them, and therefore they downplay its volume, spend it on paying off debts, and hide the rest in a piggy bank. At the same time, random money is practically not spent on entertainment and tourist trips. These statistics were shown by 11 Swedish millionaires national lotto, which in different times won 100-600 million euros. Victor Ballon, winner of the 1082nd draw of the Russian Lotto, received 1 million rubles on the eve of his 47th birthday. invested in the purchase of real estate. Also entered was entrepreneur Albert Begryan from St. Petersburg, who received 110.1 million rubles in the 36th edition of the game “6 out of 45”. He purchased one apartment for his family. He bought two more apartments, as well as a plot of land, as an investment. The remaining 2 million rubles. were sent to charity. Winners of lotteries abroad have many more questions. In 2016, an Australian resident became the proud owner of a tropical island, which can be reached by plane or ship. The former owners decided to sell the “real estate” in a very original way. They organized a lottery, releasing 55 thousand tickets, costing 49 aust. dollars. They received 2.6 million aust for the island. Dollars. Stuart Grand from the UK planned all expense items in advance. Being disabled since childhood, he was forced to lead a reclusive life.

He paid off all his debts, built a house, started a family and became a VIP client of the country's leading bank.Is it possible to make a permanent income from lotteries?

Believe me, there are such huge winnings in the lottery that the numbers just don’t fit in your mind. Another question is whether the data on winnings is true, whether fake persons received them, whether they received them at all, etc.
Such stories are needed, at a minimum, so that people continue to buy lottery tickets, feeding the founders of the business.
Today we will talk about the most big wins in lotteries.
Just recently I heard on TV that a Russian family (mother and adult daughter) won 500 million rubles in the lottery, they were photographed for the media, smiling (we are talking about the November 2017 win, Voronezh). And evil commentators echoed - “they are stupid, they will be found and robbed, it’s clear that they are from the village,” “ ex-husband Now he finds out about the situation that has befallen his head and will supposedly come to restore the family, new relatives will appear.”
But I had other thoughts: “well, a person can’t win 500 million rubles in our country... and he can’t win abroad either... especially a billion dollars. And if anyone got such a prize, then they were probably “dummy people,” but they look too simple to be dummies.”
Do you believe that a person on the street who buys a random lottery ticket can win huge sums of money, hit the jackpot, as they say?
We see many stories on TV where mere mortals have won lotteries; neighbors give interviews, confirming that these same “Petya and Vasya, Masha and Sasha” from the first floor, always unemployed and cheerful, won a couple of million rubles. And no one expected it, but it got lucky. Usually, no one tells us, the audience, where the newly-made millionaires spent their money, or they provide meager information... However, few details are known about several families, especially those that squandered great wealth for nothing. For example, about the family of Nadezhda Mukhametzyanova.
But this is all on the screen, but have you personally had examples when your neighbors “hit the Jackpot”?? I have no. Except that I myself have won several thousand rubles in competitions a couple of times, but this is not a lottery. Among my friends, including those who actively buy lottery tickets, there is not a single one who has won. I don’t know whether it’s true or fiction that it’s possible to win, but a person, especially a Russian, will always hope for chance and luck more than anything else.
Let's talk about the largest lottery winnings among Russians.
Yuri Ivanov from Tolyatti won about 1 million rubles. As the hero says, he has been buying tickets regularly for 23 years, and he dreamed of the winning ticket numbers in a dream. What a story that is quite capable of cheering up those who have spent several salaries on lottery tickets and half their lives waiting for a prize - wait, perhaps there is still more to come!
A resident of the village of Vargashi, Kurgan region, won 1 million rubles, and became the luckiest villager who hit the jackpot in lotteries, because before that, residents of the outback had not received more than 200 thousand rubles.
Alexander Osterenko from the Samara region won 2.5 million rubles in 2011.
A Russian Railways passenger once won 11 million rubles on a passenger ticket, they searched for him for two weeks. Yes, according to the media, this is possible - winning a multimillion-dollar sum just by buying a Russian Railways ticket. A little later, another lucky person from Russian Railways won 8 million rubles.
On December 30, 2001, Nadezhda Mukhametzyanova, with her husband and children, won 29 million rubles in the Bingo Show. At the same time, as sources say, the spouses bought two apartments and two cars with the winnings, but they spent a lot of money on drinking and slot machines. The cars broke down after accidents, the apartment burned down in a fire, the wife died a few years later from a trophic ulcer, and the husband lives unsociable in the second apartment with his sons.
In 2009, Moscow resident Evgeny Sidorov won 35 million rubles in the Gosloto lottery. The man spent his winnings very wisely: he left with his family for his homeland, in the Lipetsk region, and organized his own farm and production for breeding carp.
100 million rubles went to Albert Begrakyan from St. Petersburg in 2009 (“Gosloto 6 out of 45”), Of these, the lucky one built a hotel for 16.5 million rubles, bought real estate, a car, and helped his relatives.
In 2015, a resident of Kaliningrad won 126.9 million rubles in the mobile phone lottery.
In 2014 (“Gosloto 6 out of 45”) Omsk resident Valery T won 184 million rubles. His lottery bet was 810 rubles.
In the same 2014, a certain Mikhail from Nizhny Novgorod won 200 million rubles.
In 2016, a resident of Novosibirsk hit the jackpot in the Gosloto lottery with as much as 358 million rubles, The lucky guy kept his name secret.
At the end of autumn 2017, a pensioner from Voronezh won 506 million rubles in the Stoloto lottery(although earlier they said it was a man). And this is the biggest lottery win in Russia. People comment on this event in different ways, and that now the grandmother will have to hide, otherwise, out of stupidity, she appeared on TV, that they will be persecuted, and others write:
“Don’t worry, no one will hide anywhere, because there was no woman from Voronezh who won 500 million rubles. This lottery is promoting itself so that fools1 buy tickets more actively. Do you really think that an ordinary person can win 500 million rubles?”
“They found a grandmother from a remote Siberian village, gave her 50 thousand or whatever she needed, called her by a different name and now, buy our tickets to NG, what kind of PR we did for ourselves throughout the country, how sales will increase2.
“Yes, there is no 500 million. And this grandmother was paid 20 thousand. For this number on TV. Now she sits in the village of Glukharevo and no one will find her....”
There were several well-known cases when big winnings(26 million rubles) were not given to the Russians, for example, one person has been trying to get his winnings released for several years to no avail.
And now about the biggest ones lottery winnings in the world.
In 2000, the American received $363 million.
In 2002, a West Virginian ripped off D jackpot of $314.9 million.
Colombian Juan Rodriguez, who worked as a watchman, won $149 million in 2004.
In 2004, a US citizen won $209 million.
In 2005, the American won $340 million.
In 2006, the American won $230 million.
In 2006, again in America, the winnings were $365 million.
In 2008, an 84-year-old Missouri retiree won $254 million.
In 2007, Mega Millions gave away $390 million.
In 2013, three US residents won $488 million, the prize was divided among three.
In 2014, a California retiree hit a $425 million jackpot.
In 2012, two US residents won $587 million each, the prize was divided in half.
A Florda resident won $590 million in 2013. At that time, such a jackpot became a record.
In 2012, Mega Millions gave away as much as $640 million!! The prize was shared by two lucky winners.
Well, now this is an unrealistic amount!! And to be honest, I don’t believe that it went to ordinary people.
In 2016, the world's largest winnings occurred in the Powerball lottery - $1 billion 586 million, which went to three lucky ones, half a billion dollars each.
So far the records for the world and for Russia are as follows: in Russia the biggest win was 500 million, in the world 1.5 billion dollars for three.
In Russia, only 1% of the population plays lotteries, while for example in France, the USA, 65-70% of the population plays.
Is it true. That's how long I don't go to the post office - half the line is buying lottery tickets. I can’t imagine how things are going in France then, if there are 70 times more lottery fans there than here.
One of the problems with quick wins is that they are ephemeral. Gifts of fate, “freebies” disappear as quickly as they appear. And the millions that have fallen on our heads sometimes bring more troubles than joy. For example, a person who did not know the value of earning money does not know how to behave with it, he begins to spend everything chaotically or is afraid of it. Families break up, people become greedy and evil. But, of course, there are good examples. When people used their winnings in a profitable business, but for this it was necessary that the person initially had business experience and knew how to earn money. And everyone who lived by drinking and partying - they spent it all on them...
« A person has a material threshold: the amount of money that he is used to managing. It is installed subconsciously. As a rule, income increases gradually: the salary is increased - the psyche has adapted to the increase. And when a huge sum falls from the sky, it is too much work for the body. A person simply does not know how to manage that kind of money. Doesn't know what to do with them. It becomes a burden rather than a happiness.
Plus, distant relatives and old acquaintances begin to show up. This is additional stress. And here mechanisms that are not subject to consciousness come into play. You're just trying your best to get rid of money. That is why such winnings often simply go down the drain. Or even worse - they get drunk very quickly. This makes it easier. It is almost impossible to cope with such stress on your own. It’s better to seek help from professional psychologists.”
Of course, I would like to say - someone is lucky, I wish it were like that, at least a couple of million just like that!!! But as the sage said, it is better to teach a person to fish than to give it to him... Those who do not know how to catch will eat and be hungry again, and those who know how to catch will always be full.
An excerpt of dialogue from an old Soviet film, when a Sportloto ticket cost 60 kopecks and the maximum win was 20 thousand rubles:
“Win or win, what difference does it make? That's not the point! And the fact is that for 60 kopecks I have hope of winning 10 or 20 thousand rubles!!!”
