Important About Taxes on Lottery Winnings

Lottery winnings are tax deductible. The tax is 13%, but for those, кто не является налоговым резидентом в РФ — 30%, but this is a paltry amount compared to the big win. From the official site:

FROM 01 january 2018 years if the winning amount is equal to or exceeds 15 000 rubles, then the tax is withheld when the winnings are paid. If the winning amount is less 15 000 rubles, then you need to independently contact the tax authority at the place of residence no later than 30 April of the year, following the expired tax period and submit a tax return.

Just read about the winner recently, who didn't pay tax, I have already spent all the money (although there was OGO-ho), and now the tax authorities are confiscating his property. So don't be greedy, if you won, then pay taxes, although under the new law, if the amount of the win is equal to or exceeds 15 000 rubles, then the tax on this amount is withheld upon payment (tax on smaller amounts must be paid by yourself). Just for the greedy and forgetful.

Jackpot in card games

Historically, jackpots have become an attribute of card games, first of all - poker. Traditionally, winning a jackpot is associated with a Royal Flush combination (five cards from ten to ace of the same suit).

In online casinos, the jackpot payout can be tied to special conditions: reaching a certain limit of the number of bets or their size, making an additional bet.

For example, the jackpot can be paid out after the player has made five hundred bets, or in the case of a bet of one thousand dollars.

Recommendation 1. Keep track of winning combinations. Use specialized lottery sites, where such information is publicly available. Use the accumulated information to fill out tickets or form bets.

Specialist comment. Powerful computers are now responsible for generating winning combinations, implementing special algorithms for generating random numbers. The output is really random numbers, which is logically impossible to predict.

Recommendation 2. Do not use three consecutive numbers due to the fundamental impossibility of such combinations.

Specialist comment. ANY combination of numbers or numbers can be winning. Combinations are statistically more common, in which the same numbers or numbers do not line up in a single row.

Recommendation 3. Buy as many lottery tickets as possible. Thus, it will be possible to multiply the chances of winning..

Specialist comment. It really is. The question is, how much money are you even willing to spend on this adventure. Ideally, buy the entire circulation at once. true, its value is always an order of magnitude higher than the promised jackpot.

Buying hundreds of tickets will really increase your chances of winning a hundred times.. But by itself, the probability of winning these hundred tickets is still insanely small and amounts to millionths of a percent.

Recommendation 4. Control emotions and inner urges, limiting spending on the purchase of lottery tickets to a predetermined amount.
