The biggest winnings in lottery history

Is it possible to play foreign lotteries

Many view Russian lotteries with obvious distrust - they are essentially run by a private company, draws can take place every 15 minutes, and the authenticity of video broadcasts is suspicious for some.

Therefore, they are considering the option take part in lotteries of other countries. There are many such lotteries, they are mainly held in the USA and European countries.

But they have limitations. for example, the rules of the most famous American Powerball lottery allow to sell tickets only in the United States (even excluding a few states). But the rules also do not prohibit citizens of other countries from participating through intermediaries..

There are many intermediaries now (websites of some of them are blocked in Russia), who receive money from users from all over the world and buy lottery tickets for them directly in the US or EU.

They work not just like that, but they take more from users, what is the real cost of a lottery ticket. for example:

• MegaMillions: a ticket to the USA costs 1 dollars, and intermediaries sell them at 2-4 dollar;
• Powerball: US price is 2 dollar, from intermediaries - from 3 to 10 dollars;
• EuroMillions и EuroJackpot: price in the EU 2 euros, from intermediaries - from 4 to 8 dollars.

Foreign lotteries differ in that, that the sum of winnings and jackpots is orders of magnitude higher, than Russian lotteries. But it is also more difficult to win in them.. for example, in Powerball you have to guess 5 numbers from 59 and 1 of 35. In the "Millions" - 5 numbers from 50 and 2 of 11.

As a result, the probability of winning is:

• Mega Millions (USA): 1:302 575 350;
• Powerball (USA): 1:292 201 338;
• EuroMillions (Spain): 1:139 838 160;
• The primitive (Spain): 1:139 838 160;
• EuroJackpot (ES): 1:95 344 200.

Taking into account the "predatory" commissions of intermediaries real winnings in foreign lotteries relatively low. But many play them, since the jackpot can be measured in hundreds of millions of dollars.

TOP 15 best lotteries in Russia, where you can really win money

№1. "Russian Lotto"

The best lottery in Russia.

It is her tickets that my grandfather buys.

And also from time to time I.

"Russian Lotto" appeared in a distant 1994 year by state decree. Since then, she has won a ton of fans and followers..

It is aired once a week on the NTV channel in 8:20. I remember, because of this, I had to get up earlier more than once, than usual, so as not to miss the draw.

The prototype of the lottery is the classic lotto widespread throughout Russia.

The host takes out the kegs. Lottery participants cross out the dropped numbers on their tickets. And then they compare them to the winning combination..

The prize fund goes 50% from every ticket sold. And the ticket, it seems to me, worth 100 rubles.

From one hundred tickets purchased, the prize fund increases by 5000 rubles. From a thousand to 50 000 rubles. From a million to 50 000 000 wooden!
