Lottery system: winning combinations. Lottery Strategies


To significantly increase your chances of winning, play with a spread bet

An expanded bet is a bet that contains more than one combination of numbers on one playing field. For example: by choosing 6 numbers in Gosloto “5 out of 36”, you get 6 minimum combinations in one playing field, and by choosing 7 numbers, you get all 21.
The cost of such a choice will be higher. What is the benefit? If you guess at least 2 numbers in such a bet, you will win not 40 rubles, but 4 times more, 160 rubles. And if you guess 5 numbers at once, 20,000 rubles will be added to your super prize! So, a spread bet not only increases your chances of guessing the entire winning combination, it also increases the amount of any winnings you make.

How are winnings calculated on spread bets?

The easiest way is to look at the example of 2 guessed numbers.
Suppose you marked 6 numbers on the playing field: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. From them you can make 6 different combinations of 5 numbers. If two numbers match your combination in the draw - for example, 2 and 3, then they will appear in 4 combinations at once, and for each of them you will be awarded winnings.
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 6
1 2 3 5 6
1 2 4 5 6
1 3 4 5 6
2 3 4 5 6

Who won the most on the expanded bet?

The biggest win in Gosloto “6 out of 45” occurred precisely thanks to the expanded bet! Albert Begrakyan, the lucky winner of the super prize, filled in 6 fields of 7 numbers on his ticket and won 100,118,974 rubles (of which 118,974 were due to the expanded bet).

What games can be played with full bets?

To participate in each drawing, use the “Multiple Draw” option

Multi-circulation is a bet on several circulations in advance.
This is a very popular gaming strategy for those who want to be in the game with minimal effort. Almost like subscribing to your favorite magazine. Once you have made several number combinations, chosen the number of runs for the game, paid - and you get the results. In each draw, the lottery machine produces lucky numbers, new ones each time, and - it really happens - one fine day they may coincide with yours!

There is a known case when one German family played for many years with a combination of numbers made up of dates of birth. Mom usually bought the tickets. But one day she was busy and asked her teenage son to go to the lottery kiosk. And he, like many at his age, did not take it seriously. And it turned out that it was in this circulation that their very family combination fell! But the ticket, as it turned out later, was not purchased.


It is a well-known fact in world history (the case took place in 2012 in England) that 12 people won 38 million pounds sterling, which is equivalent to 1.7 billion rubles.

Never deposit your money for your friends or take funds for your bet from them. Most often, such syndicates end up in the red. Do not force anyone to join the syndicate. Don't hire obvious skeptics and losers. The game must be a joy!

The experience of playing together pays off!

Each ticket purchased for the distribution draw can win much more than usual.

Participation in distribution draws increases your chances of winning

A distribution draw is a draw in which the accumulated sum of the super prize is divided among all the winners of the draw. The frequency of such draws is regulated by the Law “On Lotteries,” which requires them to be held at least once a year if no one wins a super prize during the entire year. By decision of the lottery organizer, distribution draws may be held more frequently.
Distribution significantly increases each of the winnings, because a share of the accumulated super prize is added to the usual part of the prize pool that falls on the winning bet. Many participants of “Gosloto “6 out of 45” thanks to distribution draws. To do this, it was enough to guess not even 6, but 5 numbers - and in some cases even 4! And the games according to the formula “7 out of 49”, which took place on September 27, 2013, 6 numbers were guessed in 3 lottery tickets - one winner won 5,098,339 rubles, and the other two, who played with expanded bets, received more than 10,000,000 rubles each! There is a millionaire among those who guessed only 5 numbers. And in the 83rd distribution draw of the same game, an even more incredible story happened - one of the winners guessed 6 numbers in two lottery receipts at once! His total winnings amounted to more than 16 million rubles.

Follow the announcements on the website and don’t miss a single distribution circulation!

Draw results statistics are an interesting tool that will help you win more often

When you want to justify the choice of numbers with facts and not with feelings, use circulation statistics. How to get it? Write down the winning combinations of each draw in a notebook (or save it in a separate file). Experienced lottery fans keep track of the number of times each number appears in a draw and keep statistics on the number of even and odd, “hot” and “cold” numbers. In addition, there are interesting statistics on counting runs in which balls appear in succession or numbers that for some reason often appear in pairs.

On the website, you can use automated statistics for each game on the pages of the circulation archives (for example, statistics for “Gosloto “5 out of 36”). But you will find the most interesting information about statistics in the “Numbers” section of your personal account! There are numbers that personally brought you more money, and a combination that brought the maximum win in the history of the game, and the opportunity to make a bet from the numbers that you liked in different sections of personal and general statistics.

A multiplier is an option that allows you to increase your winnings several times over.

The ability to use the multiplier exists in the daily games "" and "". The multiplier number is the number of identical bets that will be accepted per draw, and the number of identical fixed winnings that you will receive in case of the desired match. The value of the bet increases accordingly. For example, in “Keno-Sportloto” you can increase the amount of potential winnings by 10 times, and in “Top-3” - by 100 times.

In the history of the KENO-Sportloto game, the largest win was recorded - 550,000 rubles. The participant managed to win this amount using a multiplier of 10 and a combination of 10 numbers - 9 numbers matched. And if he had guessed all 10 numbers, he would have won 10,000,000 rubles!

The maximum winnings in the “Top 3” without using a multiplier is 5,000 rubles. With a multiplier you can grow it up to 500,000 rubles! And by combining a not very large multiplier with the same combinations in several receipts, you can win even more. This happened in the 1540th draw, where two participants made more than 10 bets with a multiplier of 10, each of which included a combination of 1, 5, 4. As a result, each of them!

So if you feel confident in your numbers, give them 10 or even 100 times the odds.

What is the probability of winning the lottery? This article is all about the chances of winning in various lotteries around the world with the calculation of the number of combinations.

It is logical to assume that anyone who buys a lottery ticket wants to win the main prize. In the vast majority of lotteries there is only one jackpot. If there are several winners, the amount is simply divided by their number. Of the well-known world lotteries, the only exception is the Spanish national lottery and its variations - Christmas El Gordo and New Year's El Niño, where there are several main prizes.

Based on this, to calculate the probability of winning the lottery you just need to count the number of combinations. This will be the mathematical basis for the lottery.

Below we have compiled a table for you that shows the probability of winning for the most famous Russian, European and American lotteries.

Number

Lottery

Probability of winning the main prize

Megamillions-Megamillions

1 in 175 711 536

Powerball -PowerBall

1 to 175 223 510

Euromillions -EuroMillions

1 to 116,531,800

Eurojackpot -Eurojackpot

1 to 59 325 280

La primitive -La Primitiva

1 to 139 838 160

Gosloto 6 out of 45

1 to 8 145 060

Gosloto 5 of 36

1 in 376,992

Below are formulas and examples for calculating the number of combinations and the probability of winning some Russian lotteries and European lotteries. You must also remember that in all modern lotteries, in addition to the jackpot, there are other categories of winnings, when, for example, 6.5 is guessed from the 7th number, and so on.

To calculate the probability of winning, we do not need probability theory, but rather combinatorics.

So, a little math. A combination is the selection of k elements from n data without regard to order (for example, by selecting all at the same time or even sequentially if, as a result of the selection, this order is considered unimportant).

The number of combinations is calculated by the formula:

The number n!, which is equal to n*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)..*1 is called n-factorial or simply factorial. For example, 5!=5*4*3*2*1=120. That is, we present the above formula as follows:

xnumbers from n =

(n)
( x)

=

n * ( n - 1) * ( n - 2) * ( n - 3) … * [ n - ( x -1)]
1 * 2 * 3 * 4* .. x

For example, for a lottery gosloto 5 out of 36 total number of combinationscalculated like this:

5 out of 36=

(36)
(5)

36 * 35 * 34 * 33 * 32
1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5

376 992.

Thus, the chance of winning for state lotto, or any other lottery in which you need to guess 5 numbers out of 36, is 1 in 376 thousand 992.

For lotteries using the 6 out of 45 formula, the specified formula will look like this:

6 out of 45 =

(45)
(6)

45 * 44 * 43 * 42 * 41 * 40
1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6

8 145 060.

Please note what a huge difference there is - two seemingly similar lotteries, but the probability of winning in the first case is 21 times greater than in the second.

In lotteries7 out of 49 total number of combinationswill be:

7 out of 49 =

(49)
(7)

49 * 48 * 47 * 46 * 45 * 44 * 43
1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7

85 900 584

As you can see, the calculation formula is suitable for any lotteries according to the formula XfromY.

For the popular 6 out of 49 scheme in Europe, the probability of hitting the jackpot according to this formula is 1 in 13,983,816.

If we are talking about lotteries like EuroMillions , where there are additional balls, then the number of combinations is simply multiplied

So, for the mentioned EuroMillionsthe formula looks like this:

“5 out of 50” =

(50)
(5)

50 x 49 x 48 x 47 x 46
1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5

2,118,760 combinations.

“2 out of 11” =

(11)
(2)

11 x 10
1 x 2

55 combinations.

Total - 2,118,760 x 55 = 116,531,800 combinations Euro Millions.

For Euro Jackpot number of combinations equals respectively - 2,118,760 x28 = 59,325,280 combinations.

To calculate the occurrence of a lottery win, we introduce the concept of probability:

Consider the case of lottery 5 out of 36:

As we already know, the total number of combinations is 376,992.

Probable number of wins = C(4.5)*C(1.31).

Those.

5 x 4 x 3 x 2
1 x 2 x 3 x 4

31
1

Thus, we divide the total number of wins 376,992 by 155 and get 1 win per 2,432 combinations.

For 3 guessed numbers:

5 x 4 x 3
1 x 2 x 3

x
1 x 2 x 3

44 950

Those. 1 win per 8 combinations.

Using this data we can calculate the lottery return percentage. Let's say we play state lotto using the formula 5 out of 36 and marked 2432. With the current ticket price of 40 rubles, we will spend 97,280 rubles. On average, according to the above calculations, we will get one four, 30 threes and 300 twos. Multiplying by the winning rates (4000, 400 and 40 rubles, respectively) we get 28,000 rubles. Divide 97280 by 28,000 and we get that the return is about 34.7%.

According to data from the official Gosloto website, the results of draw No. 1336 dated July 30 look like this (up-to-date information on the results of the draws of all the most popular Russian and world lotteries can be found in the lottery draws section):

180,777 bets in the amount of 7,231,080 rubles. According to the results of the draw, the winnings amounted to 2,110,040 rubles. Those. still the same 34%. About 2.3 million rubles went into the jackpot. Gosloto's profit for the draw from game 5 out of 36 alone amounted to approximately 2.8 million rubles. Those. Gosloto, or rather a commercial company (more about the legal structure gosloto), the company behind this brand, keeps 30% of the proceeds for itself.

Now let's look at probability of winning the lottery like Russian lotto, i.e. those in which there are 90 barrels, and 30 numbers are crossed out on the ticket.

According to the lottery rules, a ticket wins the jackpot if all 15 numbers are on the ticket on the 15th move. The result is lottery 15 out of 90. According to the above formula, the number of such combinations without taking into account the order is 45795673964460800.

As you can see, this number is significantly greater than the number of combinations for classic lotteries such as 5 out of 36, 6 out of 45, as well as lotteries with additional balls - such as Euromillions and American lotteries - Megamillions and Powerball.

Spanish lotteries such as ElGordo and LotereaNacional stand apart, in which a number from 00000 to 99999 is written on each ticket. That is, for these lotteries the probability of winning is 1 in 100,000.

Based on the above information, using the above formulas, you can easily answer the question of what is the chance of winning the lottery.

And if we take into account that in such lotteries the winning rules for other classes of winnings sometimes also depend on the line numbers, the order of the barrels, etc., then it is obvious that in terms of the probability of winning, such lotteries are noticeably inferior to classical schemes.


In conclusion, we would like to cite an interesting paradox of the lottery:

It is quite expected that this particular ticket will not hit the jackpot, but one should not assume that none of the tickets will hit the jackpot.

Slot machines), quite a lot, and everyone hopes that luck will smile on him. That life will get better after this, and all wishes will come true. But not everyone’s dreams come true. Many people have probably wondered how to circumvent the rules so as to be sure to win. This can be facilitated by the formula for winning the lottery by Platon Tarasov.

Who is Platon Tarasov

Platon Tarasov is a mathematician from Russia who came up with a special formula thanks to which you can be guaranteed to win when playing the lottery. Its formula became popular back in the 90s. As a student, he was passionate about developing a method that would allow him to win the lottery. Initially, he did not succeed in everything, and the formula did not work completely. Tarasov had to conduct a lot of additional research to make this method fully working.

In the 90s, especially at the beginning, a lottery ticket could be bought for pennies. Once, after repeatedly using the method, Platon Tarasov managed to win the lottery. Rumors about the guy’s success quickly spread among the students. Many wanted to try their luck.

But it so happened that Tarasov abandoned this idea after graduating from the institute. Only after 10 years did he decide to revive it. He had a friend, at that time he lived overseas. They decided to join forces, and success was not long in coming.

How the method works

It is a kind of generator. Its operating algorithm is based on calculating certain combinations, after which they are given numbers. Platon Tarasov’s lottery generator, about which there are many reviews on the Internet, uses the following data to calculate winning combinations:

  • number of tickets sold;
  • uses numbers that brought winnings in previous drawings;
  • combinations of numbers that have led to success in past draws.

Access to the Platon Tarasov generator can be obtained by completing a simple registration. To do this, there is a form on the website in which information such as login and email address is indicated. To withdraw money after winning, you need to provide the details of a valid card account.

All the necessary information is presented in detail on Plato’s website. It claims that Platon Tarasov’s winning lottery formula, reviews of which are positive, will bring success. You can even watch video instructions on the website. At the very beginning, the player ends up on a single server, with its help foreign, state lotteries become available to the person. To try your luck, you must purchase 5 lottery tickets.

How the lotto generator works

The way it works is very simple. You can learn in detail about the operating principle of Platon Tarasov’s lottery winning generator, reviews of which are also available, on the mathematician’s website. The formula works like this.

After registration, the generator becomes available. It looks like a simple form that has one “Calculate” button located at the bottom. Platon Tarasov’s formula works for Gosloto 6 out of 45, Powerball, and also for a large number of similar lotteries.

In the white squares you need to enter any 5 numbers from 1 to 59. And in the last red square you enter a number from 1 to 35.

After this, the generator begins to analyze all the winnings that have occurred over the past 7 years.

The next window will show the result. If it is lower than 70%, then it is necessary to change the entered combination, because the proposed one has little chance of winning.

Platon Tarasov's winning lottery formula for Gosloto 6 out of 45 is capable of predicting the possibility of success with great accuracy, down to units. The player will win 70% of the time. The point is to focus on that combination, the probability of which is more than 70%.

After receiving the desired numbers, you need to write them down on a piece of paper and continue to follow the instructions that are located under the generator.

What is IceLotto

IceLotto is a site that advertises and applies the Tarasov formula. There are many reviews on it that talk about the incredible success that can be achieved using this method. But many say that the site is often blocked due to scams. But you need to know information about it.

On this site you have the opportunity to play any lottery, both state and foreign. Each has its own page. Once on the site, you can see a huge amount of varied information. Everything is presented in bright colors: reviews of the winners, who have become fabulously rich, and instructions.

At the beginning they ask you to go through the registration procedure. You must also indicate the details of the bank card from which the money will be debited for the purchase of lottery tickets. There they give a guarantee that, having purchased the first 5 tickets, the client will definitely win on the first try.

But once you see real reviews, it will immediately become clear that Platon Tarasov’s lottery is a scam.

What's the catch?

The IceLotto website looks pretty good. Lots of information in 4 languages. Everywhere there are pictures about how soon the client will become fabulously rich. But once you take a closer look, it becomes clear that the site is a complete carousel. There are too many bright pictures and text that is impossible to read. There are even pages that are only in English.

The company, judging by the address, is located in Cyprus, which means that it operates illegally in our country. It is impossible to reach the support service. Promises about 100% winnings that the client will receive by purchasing only 5 tickets also suggest deception. Experienced people, seeing this, will immediately understand that Tarasov’s formula is a pure scam.

Win a large sum of money in the lottery in order to fulfill all your desires and the desires of your loved ones... Who hasn’t dreamed of this at least once in their life? Let's figure out how realistic it is to win the lottery, what are the chances of winning and how many lucky people in Russia are there who hit the jackpot.

Is it possible to win the lottery?

People are divided into two types: those who do not play the lottery and those who play it. The former are of the opinion that the organizers always win, but the chances of winning a large sum of money for each individual player are so small that it is not worth even trying. The latter buy lottery tickets regularly or from time to time and believe that all players still have a chance of winning, so anyone who buys a randomly selected lottery ticket at any official distribution point can get rich.

There are many lotteries in Russia, and their popularity continues unabated precisely because victory does not cost the player who hits the jackpot anything other than a very small (literally symbolic) amount of money. The lottery business brings in huge profits, which is why it is controlled by the state. It is quite possible to win the lottery and receive your prize. The main thing is that the company involved in its distribution is well-known and has been operating successfully for a sufficiently long period of time.

Types of lotteries

In order not to waste your money on scammers, you should give preference to well-known domestic lotteries - this way you can easily purchase a ticket and, if you win, receive everything you are due from it. Those who prefer foreign lotteries have to use the services of intermediaries, who may turn out to be unscrupulous.

There are two main types of lotteries: instant and draw. Each of these types has its own advantages and a large number of supporters.

Instant

Instant lotteries are extremely simple: you buy a ticket and, by erasing the special protective coating on it (or unfolding the ticket), you will immediately find out whether it is a winner or not. You can often receive the small amount you are entitled to (or a real prize) right at the place where you purchased the ticket. If you win a large sum in an instant lottery, you will have to spend several days to receive the money you are entitled to.

circulation

Draw lotteries are divided into two types: in one, players are given the right to choose numbers from a limited list, and in the second, participants are given tickets with numbers already on them. In any case, luck smiles on the one who has the lucky number determined during the drawing. Such drawings are held regularly (usually at the same time) and broadcast on television.

How to win a large sum of money in the lottery?

When playing the lottery, where, when and how you buy a ticket will not affect the amount you win. Therefore, in order to win a large sum of money, you can use any approach to selecting and purchasing tickets that seems worthy of attention to you. The most well-known approaches are listed below.

Psychological factor

In draw lotteries, where the players themselves are asked to choose the sequence of numbers, not only the laws of probability theory are triggered, but also those of psychology. Since people tend to think stereotypically, they prefer some numbers more or less than others (for example, 7 and 13). Since you still can’t predict which numbers will come up, try to guess which ones other players bet on the least. If the unpopular numbers you have chosen come up, the size of your prize will be much larger, since in lotteries the reward amount is distributed among all players who bet on the lucky sequence of numbers.

Lottery syndicate

A lottery syndicate is an excellent approach to purchasing lottery tickets, invented by experienced players. This method consists in the fact that a group of people united by common interests regularly chip in money in order to purchase as many lottery tickets as possible.

As a result, if no ticket wins, it turns out that each person in the group spent very little money to try their luck. If you win, the amount is divided equally between all participants of the lottery syndicate, regardless of which of them offered to bet on the winning combination of numbers (sometimes quite decent amounts are obtained). Using this approach allows you to actually increase (from a mathematical point of view) the chances of winning in proportion to the number of tickets purchased.

Circulation

Those who dream of winning a large sum and at the same time rely entirely on luck will find the multi-circulation approach convenient. In this case, you need to choose any one sequence of numbers allowed by the rules of the game and bet on it every time you buy a lottery ticket. This will allow you not to bother yourself with numbers and spend a minimum of time playing the lottery.

Distribution circulation

A distribution draw is a drawing in which the main cash prize is divided among all the winners. In this case, the likelihood of receiving a very large amount compared to the usual circulation increases significantly. Therefore, to increase your chances of winning, it is worth buying more tickets than usual for distribution draws.

Expanded rate

An expanded bet is a method that is only suitable for lotteries where participants themselves are given the right to cross out the numbers. For example, in the “5 out of 36” lottery, a player who wants to make an expanded bet can cross out not 5, but 6 or more numbers in one field. In this case, the chances of winning and the size of the cash prize in case of guessing the winning sequence of numbers increase significantly. But it should be taken into account that the ticket price increases significantly (when crossing out 6 numbers instead of 5, it increases 6 times, since 6 different combinations are obtained).
