The operator is, no lottery
Questions arose to the only lottery operator in the Republic of Kazakhstan even in the process of its selection. According to the expert of the Association of representatives of the lottery and betting business Evgeny Krasnopolsky, the condition for the participants of the competition was that the organizer of the lottery had a license to ensure cryptographic protection of the transmitted and stored information.

But according to article 28 Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “About permissions and notifications” from 16 May 2014 years, the use of means of cryptographic protection of information and its storage are not included in the list of types of licensed activities. That is, there is no such license.. But the competition was still held, and AO “Lucky Star” have chosen.
Informburo sent an official request to the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan with a request to explain the logic of choosing a lottery operator. However, the picture did not become clearer after receiving a response from the Ministry.. In fact, it is only a statement of, that the lottery operator is selected.

“By the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “About lotteries and lottery activities” there is no procedure for holding a competition to determine the lottery operator, and the competence of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan is provided for determining the lottery operator, - says the response to the request. - The revision of the requirements was adopted at a meeting of the working group on the development of proposals for requirements, presented to the lottery operator. The specified working group was created by the order of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan from 28 september 2016 year No. 86-r, it included a deputy of the Mazhilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, vice ministers of justice, finance, national economy, representatives of the NNP “motherland” and the National Olympic Committee”.
Version “The goat”
Informburo managed to contact the chief accountant of the LLP “Милан.kz” Mayru Ibraikhanov. She said, what “The goat” really didn’t pay winnings to some Kazakhstanis. In addition to Nadezhda Chulkova, nine more people are waiting for their money. The reason, according to which the winners were left without prizes, - license revocation from “The goat” and other lottery operators.
Spokeswoman “The goat” is talking, that her leadership was offended by attacks and accusations of dishonesty. She also asks to emphasize, what “Channel One Eurasia” nothing to do with this story, since the program was simply broadcast on its air, which was immediately closed with the entry into force of the new law.
“We were exposed as some kind of scammers. We have been on the market for a long time, and, basically, there is trust in us. This situation did not arise by our will, so it's a shame, that they called us that. It offended us a little, our lawyer is preparing an answer”, - says Mayra Ibraikhanova.
Regarding the Kazlotto.kz website, LLP accountant “Милан.kz” stated, that this resource has nothing to do with LLP. And the coincidence of the addresses of regional offices is explained by the fact, what “Bingo” could be a partner “The goat” in the payment of prizes, and they could have the same payout centers.
Disappearing sites
Find footprints “The goat” not easy: regional offices do not work, phones are silent. The kazloto.com page was opened a week ago with an announcement that, that site, perhaps, put up for sale. After a while, the resource disappeared altogether., instead of him on request “National lottery” a certain kazlotto.com began to appear. A couple of days later he disappeared and.
According to the chairman of the Society for the Protection of Consumer Rights “Guarantee” Zhaslana Aitmagambetova, the site contains the same numbers and addresses of representative offices, as on kazloto.com. He managed to record the addresses and numbers of the representative office on video.
By the organizer “The goat” acted by LLP “Милан.kz”. On the National Lottery website, as seen from the video, a certain LLP is indicated “BN Neon tech”. However, the address of the regional office in Karaganda coincides with the address of the LLP “Милан.kz”. Nadezhda is working with the Society for the Protection of Consumer Rights to sort out this confusion. They wrote statements to the Department of Internal Affairs of the Karaganda region and the prosecutor's office.

“We are trying to establish, whether the LLP has relation “Милан.kz” to the National Lottery. A reasonable question arises: why the address of the regional representative is indicated on the website of the National Lottery, which the consumer accessed - Loboda Street, 46. And why is that phone listed, which she called, - commented the chairman of the Society for the Protection of Consumer Rights “Guarantee” Zhaslan Aitmagambetov. - And why doesn't he answer to date”.
April fools joke from “The goat”
In March 2017 year Nadezhda Chulkova has not gone, but called the office of the representative “The goat” and asked the question again: where's the money? By that time, a new law had already entered into force and no draws had been held.
“In March, I called the regional representative again, he told me, that they will give me the winnings, when will lottery sales resume. Then he said, what kind of like 1 April will resume. A 1 April and he got lost, - says Nadezhda. - When I checked out the ticket, the regional representative said, that they generally take a very long time and usually pay in installments. This is so accepted by them. The lottery was taken in full, but don't want to give. I'm not the only one”.
Millionaire without money
IN 2015 year in Kazakhstan there was another major scandal, non-payment of lottery winnings. Pensioner Imash Mamatraimov from Almaty instantly became a millionaire, by winning the instant lottery. But I got nothing but emotions. Then Imash Mamatraimov arranged a performance at the office of the National Lottery.

Instead of winning, the participant of the pageant received a placard with the inscription “And here's a shish for you”. Imash Mamatraimov did not manage to achieve payments. The lottery organizers said, that the pensioner's ticket was damaged, and the examination showed, that he wasn't winning at all.
