Hello!

My name is Ivan Melnikov! I am a graduate of the NTU "KhPI", Faculty of Engineering and Physics, specialty "Applied Mathematics", a happy family man and just a fan of games of luck. Since childhood, I have been fond of lotteries. I've always been interested in what laws fall out certain balls. Since the age of 10, I have been recording lottery results and then analyzing the data.

Sincerely,

Ivan Melnikov.

1. Mathematical odds of winning

   • Simple calculation with factorials

The most common lotteries in the world are luck games like "5 out of 36" and "6 out of 45". Calculate the chance of winning the lottery trite according to probability theory.

An example of calculating the possibility of obtaining a jackpot in the 5 out of 36 lottery:

It is necessary to divide the number of free cells by the number of possible combinations. That is, the first digit can be chosen from 36, the second from 35, the third from 34, and so on.

Therefore, here is the formula:

Number of possible combinations in a 5 out of 36 lottery = (36*35*34*33*32) / (1*2*3*4*5) = 376,992

The chance of winning is 1 in almost 400,000.

Let's do the same for the 6 to 45 lottery.

Number of possible combinations = "6 out of 45" = (45*44*43*42*41*40) / (1*2*3*4*5*6) = 9,774,072.

Accordingly, the chance of winning is almost 1 in 10 million.

• A bit about probability theory

According to the long-known theory, each ball in each next search has an absolutely equal chance of falling out compared to others.

But not everything is so simple, even according to the theory of probability. Let's take a closer look at the example of tossing a coin. The first time we hit heads, then the next time the probability of tails falling out is much higher. If the eagle fell out again, then next time we expect tails with even greater probability.

With the balls coming out of the lottery machines, the story is approximately the same, but somewhat more complicated and with a more significant number of variables. If one ball fell out 3 times, and the other - 10, then the probability of the first ball falling out will be higher than that of the second. It is worth noting that this law is diligently violated by the organizers of some lotteries, who change the lottery drums from time to time. In each new lottery drum, a new sequence appears.

Some other organizers use a separate lottery drum for each ball. Thus, it is necessary to calculate the probability of falling out of each ball in each individual lottery machine. On the one hand, this makes the task a little easier, on the other hand, it complicates it.

But this is just a theory of probability, which, as it turned out, does not really work. Let's see what are the secrets based on dry science and statistics accumulated over decades.

1. Why doesn't probability theory work?

   • Non-ideal conditions

The first thing worth talking about is the calibration of loto drums. None of the lottery drums are perfectly calibrated.

The second caveat is that the diameters of the lottery balls are also not the same. Even the slightest difference of millimeters plays a role in the frequency of falling out of one or another ball.

The third detail - different weight balls. Again, the difference may not seem significant at all, but it also affects the statistics, moreover, significantly.

• Sum of winning numbers

If we consider the statistics of the numbers that won the lottery like "6 out of 45", we can see interesting fact: The sum of the numbers that players have bet on varies between 126 and 167.

The sum of winning lottery numbers for "5 out of 36" is a slightly different story. Here the winning numbers add up to 83-106.

• Even or odd?

What numbers do you think are most often found in winning tickets? Even? Odd? I will tell you with full confidence that in the lotteries "6 out of 45" these numbers are equally divided.

But what about "5 out of 36"? After all, you need to choose only 5 balls, even and odd cannot be equal amount. So. After analyzing the results of lotteries of this type over the past four decades, I can say that it is insignificant, but still more often, in winning combinations odd numbers appear. Especially those that contain the number 6 or 9. For example, 19, 29, 39, 69 and so on.

• Popular number groups

For a lottery like "6 to 45", we conditionally divide the numbers into 2 groups - from 1 to 22 and from 23 to 45. It should be noted that in the winning tickets the ratio of numbers belonging to the group is 2 to 4. That is, either the ticket will have 2 numbers from the group from 1 to 22 and 4 numbers from the group from 23 to 45 or vice versa (4 numbers from the first group and 2 from the second).

I came to a similar conclusion when analyzing lottery statistics like "5 out of 36". Only in this case, the groups are split up a little differently. Let's designate the first group, which includes numbers from 1 to 17, and the second - the one where the remaining numbers from 18 to 35 are placed. The ratio of numbers from the first group to the second in winning combinations in 48% of cases is 3 to 2, and in 52 % of cases - on the contrary, 2 to 3.

• Should I bet on numbers from past draws?

It has been proven that in 86% of cases a new draw repeats a number that has already been in previous draws. Therefore, it is simply necessary to follow the draws of the lottery you are interested in.

• consecutive numbers. To choose or not to choose?

The chance of getting 3 consecutive numbers at once is very low, less than 0.09%. And if you want to bet on 5 or 6 consecutive numbers at once, there is practically no chance. So choose different numbers.

• Numbers with a single step: win or lose?

You should not bet on numbers that go in the same sequence. For example, it is definitely not necessary to choose step 2 and make a bet with this step. 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 is definitely a losing hand.

• More than one ticket: yes or no?

It is better to play once every 10 weeks for 10 tickets than once a week for one. Also play in groups. You can win a big cash prize and share it among several people.

1. World Lottery Statistics

   • Mega millions

One of the most popular lotteries in the world was carried out according to the following principle: you must choose 5 numbers out of 56, as well as 1 out of 46 for the so-called golden ball.

For 5 guessed balls and 1 correctly named golden lucky one gets the jackpot.

Other dependencies are shown in the table:

Statistics of dropped regular balls for the entire time of the draws of the above lottery.

Statistics of dropped golden balls for the entire duration of the Mega Millions draws.

The most frequently drawn combinations in the lottery are shown in the table below:

• Powerball Lottery, where more than a dozen lucky ones have managed to hit the jackpot. It is necessary to choose 7 main game numbers and two Powerballs.

1. Winner stories

   • Lucky compatriots

Evgeny Sidorov from Moscow received 35 million in 2009, before that Nadezhda Mekhametzyanova from Ufa hit the jackpot of 30 million. " Russian loto” sent another 29.5 million to Omsk to the winner, who did not want to name himself. In general, hitting jackpots is good habit Russian people

• 390 million US dollars in one hand

In the Mega Millions lottery, which we have already talked about, a lucky winner, who wished to remain anonymous, won 390 million US dollars. And this is far from rare. In the same lottery in 2011, two people managed to hit the jackpot at once, which at that time consisted of an amount of 380 million. The cash prize was divided into two parts and awarded to people who guessed the winning numbers.

A retiree from South Carolina decided to participate in the Powerball lottery and won 260 million, which he decided to spend on the education of his children, and also bought a house, several cars for the family, and then went on a trip.

1. conclusions

So, here is a summary of the most effective rules, following which you will definitely win:

1. The sum of all the numbers you bet on in a lottery ticket must be calculated using the following formula:

Sum = ((1 + n)/2)*z + 2 +/- 12%

n is the maximum bet number, for example, 36 in a 5 out of 36 lottery

z is the number of balls you are betting on, e.g. 5 for the 5 out of 36 lottery

That is, for "5 out of 36" the sum will be:

((1+36)/2)*5 + 2 +/-12% = 18,5*5+2 +/-12% = 94,5 +/-12%

In this case, from 94.5 + 12% to 94.5 - 12%, that is, from 83 to 106.

1. Bet equally on even and odd numbers.
2. Divide all numbers by two large groups in half. The ratio of the number of hit numbers in the winning ticket is 1 to 2 or 2 to 1.
3. Follow the statistics and bet on those numbers that fell out in previous draws.
4. Don't bet on numbers with one step.
5. It is better to play less often, but buy several tickets at once, and also get together with friends and relatives.

In general, be bolder! Follow my rules, bet, analyze statistics and win!

Good odds of winning

In principle, if you participate in lotteries, then it is better in state ones, and the table is really such, its organizers are the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Sports. AT instant lottery 12 out of 24 offer the player good odds - 1 to 4.5. The creators of Stoloto claim that half of the money for tickets goes to the prize fund, which is also a good indicator.
The essence of the game is to guess all 12 numbers or not to guess any, then the player will have a super prize, then everything depends on the number of guessed numbers. This lottery is not quite ordinary and the principle “the more guessed, the bigger the prize” does not work in it. All combinations for which the prize is due are listed on the site.
If you plan to play, it's better to register right away, otherwise you'll have to run around pretty much or just don't give a damn about small win because it is very difficult to get money without registration. For each bet on the site, bonuses are awarded that can be spent on tickets or on participation in bonus games, the minimum amount to write off bonuses is 180, which corresponds to 60 rubles.

There's always a chance

Grade: 4

Lottery 12/24 - Stoloto attracted me because it has unusual rules: you can win without guessing a single number. Another draw takes place every 15 minutes. I play with a taboo: once a day, so as not to get too carried away. It's great that there is a site where, by registering, you can be aware of the winnings, read the answers to questions. I installed myself mobile app. This lottery- fast, no need to wait and suffer for a long time: won or not.
I was lucky, very soon I received an SMS with a winning code - about 600 rubles, but it's such a joy!

Looks tempting, but the payoff is minimal

Grade: 3

This lottery has a very interesting rules. In order to get a super prize, you need to guess either all the numbers or none. The second part of the rule is not found in any other lottery at all, which is probably why this lottery is so popular. Draws are held every 15 minutes. They are broadcast on the official website and can be watched either online or in the recording. You can also buy tickets different ways- paper in kiosks or at bookmakers, electronic - on the company's website. Despite the fact that the amount of the super prize grows from circulation to circulation, it is very unlikely to win 1.5 million rubles.

Good entertainment

Grade: 4

I don't win in Lottery 12/24 large sums, up to 500 rubles, but quite often. In a field of 24 numbers, mark 12. The chances are very high. The payout system is simple and clear. The draw takes place every 15 minutes. It is possible at any free time go to the site and play. Here in this lottery, really every second ticket plays. So far, for me, this is a good entertainment and relieving some stress. The ticket price is not high and does not hit the pocket.

I hope to win

Grade: 4

The 12/24 lottery attracts me with the opportunity to win a super prize. He composes, this moment, a little more than 1.5 million rubles. The amount is great. The probability of winning is high. It is indicated that the probability of winning is 1 to 4.5. No other lottery gives such a chance. The rules are such that you need to guess 12 numbers out of 24 presented. At first glance, it seemed to me that it was easy to guess the numbers. In fact, I didn’t guess more than 8 digits, I earned 60 rubles in this way.
The ticket can be filled on the stoloto website, in electronic version. This option will be fully capable and in case of victory, the lottery will pay out the money. Interesting feature lottery is that the winner is not only the person who guessed 12 numbers, but also the one who did not guess a single number. If 5, 6 and 7 digits match, the ticket is not considered winning.

You can win small amounts

Grade: 4

The lottery still does not deceive the players, but gives everyone a chance to receive a prize, even if it turns out to be quite small in the end. Moreover, they have a very impressive size of the super prize. True, becoming its owner is problematic because of huge amount tickets and players. But the simplicity of the process (drawing) and the relatively inexpensive cost of tickets is still captivating. Bets can be made even from the most ordinary phone. And if at the same time you still don’t flirt, and don’t succumb negative emotions, then in case of failure, the loss of funds will not be so tangible.

Regular average lotto

Grade: 3

I know that many people buy them on the site, but I'm used to paper versions so that I can hold them in my hands, cross out 12 numbers personally, otherwise the online version may fail. In general, I do not trust this method yet))
To receive money, again, I go to the post office. Be sure to take with you winning ticket and a passport. If there is no queue, then everything happens quickly - small amounts are issued without any questions.
My opinion is the usual lotto, where the chances of getting a big prize are rather modest. You probably need to play for years and buy 100 tickets per draw to be lucky))

You can win without guessing

Grade: 4

This lottery is tempting simple rules and high probability win, but the probability is actually not that high. Nevertheless, everything that is written in the rules - everything is real and guaranteed to be honest. This is the only lottery where you can hope for luck, even if not a single number is guessed. Well, if everyone is guessed, and all are 12 numbers out of a possible 24. But these are only 2 ways to win, there are 8 more, so there are many chances, the main thing is to guess at least one number, which means that you should already be among the winners, although in modest.
Draws are held very often, I have never seen such a frequency anywhere else, every 15 minutes. The site also has a hint on how you can increase your chances of winning with a multiplier. You can also choose the number of draws in which the purchased tickets will participate, and there can be up to 100 draws.

Simple and interesting lottery

Grade: 5

I think that Lottery 1224 is the simplest and very interesting. I play on the Internet, draws are held every 15 minutes. You mark 12 numbers out of 24. You win if you guess 1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11 numbers. The probability of winning is quite high, as can be seen from the winnings scheme. Payment is instant. Amounts are also paid in online mode. Also, if you want to increase the chances of winning, you can apply a multiplier. I have never used such a function, because the amount per ticket increases.

good lottery

Grade: 5

You can buy a 1224 lottery ticket on the website, it is very convenient for me. Here I can choose the 12 numbers myself, or leave it to chance and choose them automatically. You can pay for tickets in several ways, I usually choose webmoney, but there is also the usual payment by bank card. Draws take place every 15 minutes. It seems that I have never seen such frequent draws in any lottery.
If it was not possible to participate in the draw, you can check the ticket on the stoloto website. The lottery is state-owned, so there is no doubt about the payment of winnings. I have not yet had a large lottery income, but I do not miss the opportunity to replenish my wallet with small amounts.

Thus it is in the actions of the defendant set the composition of an administrative offense, under Art. 14.27 h.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
