How to deal with cheating
First of all, knowingly buying a lottery ticket, people hope for "what if they get lucky". There are also known cases, when people were so drawn in with the hope, that in an instant he will be able to win back all the money spent, and there will still be, that they began to spend all their savings on them. Wages, retirement, some even got into debt, and all because of the illusory hope of winning, which, Unfortunately, not destined to come true.
Fighting this is pointless, as the organizers disclaim all responsibility, knowing in advance, what can this lead to. therefore, from a legal point of view, there is no cheating in these pranks.
You shouldn't consider lotteries as a possible way of getting rich. Often, the prize fund of a win is not much more than the cost of the ticket itself. If the organizers are giving away millions, or even billions for a reason, accordingly it is not hard to guess, that they have much more from such gullible people.
The most common cheating schemes
Winning in the "Russian Lotto" is a very rare phenomenon. And why is it so, we will tell further.
Recorded program broadcast
The main deception, which nullifies all the chances of lottery participants to win money, is an indirect broadcast. Many Russians naively believe, that Mikhail Borisovich - the permanent host of the show - takes the barrels out of the bag in real time.
But then how to explain the phenomenon of its movement in space?
Hyped issue 1 january 2018 of the year was broadcast live in 20-00 by Moscow time. Before, in their 20-00, residents of Vladivostok have already seen the program, Novosibirsk, Omsk and other cities.
To the hype, raised by lottery participants, the organizers did not react in any way. After several days of the attack of the deceived players of the Stoloto company, the scandal resolved by itself.
A winning ticket is not a prize guarantee
In theory, everyone has a chance to win the lottery. They, who played lotto at least once in their life, know, that it is quite possible to close the line or even the ticket. But in practice, even having a ticket with a winning combination, getting your prize is not so easy.
Usually only players with minimal winnings manage to get money.. AND, usually, these amounts are immediately returned back to the lottery treasury, since most of the players inspired by luck immediately buy the cherished tickets for the next broadcast.
Mock participants
Custom-made "lucky ones" with burning eyes regularly tell about unexpected luck, which came after buying a single ticket. In fact, it turns out, that they are all professional actors, executing the order of the company "Stoloto".
Keg Fraud
The broadcast, which was unfortunate for many Russian players, was not without the traditional fraudulent move of the lottery founders. Its essence lies in the replacement of barrels.
Usually the "desired" kegs are heavier, so that the presenter can feel by touch, which number should be taken out. Further - the business of the installers.
Lack of lucky tickets at retail outlets
That's it, that the draws are being broadcast, makes it possible to crank another clever idea of enterprising lottery organizers. Lucky tickets just don't go on sale.
You can always find an actor, who, for a nominal fee, will tell "on camera" about his incredible luck and provide the audience with a ticket with a winning combination. After all, the entire lotto system works for a single result - the enrichment of the already not poor founder of the lottery company.
Types of deception
Often buyers complain about, that they cannot win more than a thousand rubles, and discussions began to appear on the network about, that people should have won 100%, but miraculously, luck bypassed them. Many began to suspect lottery owners of rigging the results.
Let's analyze several cases of deception.
- Broadcast recording. Many began to celebrate, that the draw is scheduled, eg, on one date, and the results are known a few days before, and the results can be viewed before the broadcast recording on television in the public domain on the Internet. Because of this, there are rumors, that the rally is going in the opposite direction, namely: first record the rally, then the tickets are printed.
- Warranty. One of the tricky moves is not to give any guarantees of winning, and the complete transfer of responsibility for the lost money to the person, who bought the lottery.
- Linden reviews. Because, that there have been a lot of discussions on the network about fraud by lottery organizers, a lot of negativity is created. Offices buy fake reviews on exchanges, to keep a person's hope of winning, who will read these reviews.
- Crash in the program. it happens, we hear or read in the media about, that some outback retiree won millions in the lottery, or others like this story. In fact it is so, but when the winners start to figure out, how can they collect their winnings, then they are answered with the learned phrase "sorry, the program crashed, your ticket is not won ". There are also stories from real players on the network, who say the same phrase on duty and with a much smaller amount of winnings.
- Winning percentage. How they try to assure us, that every second ticket is won, but is it really so? You can read stories from real people on the internet, who decided to experiment, having bought an impressive number of lottery tickets from newsstands. AND, as you can guess, nearly everyone was winning 7-10 ticket, and for not particularly significant amounts.
Attention!
Do not take these pranks seriously, because where does the money go, there is more likely to be cheating.
Lotteries are many, and the owner is one
The owner of the popular brand "Russian Lotto" and the lottery of the same name, televised for many years in a row, is the trading house "Stoloto", run by a certain Armen Sargsyan. This man is a dollar multimillionaire, and is rightfully considered the king of the Russian lottery business.

This money voluntarily gave the credulous citizens of the country in the hope of hitting the jackpot or getting a slightly less modest win. IN 2019 year "Stoloto" was renamed into JSC "Technological Company" Center ".
