At the moment, this list has been significantly expanded. Users can now choose among 15 different games.

Benefits of foreign lotteries.

Let's start with the key advantage of many foreign lotteries:
lotteries are held either by the state itself, or the state exercises the strictest control over lotteries.
- A striking example is American Powerball lotteries, Megamillions, Superlotto Plus.
Many of them are run by specific states, that is, the organizer of the lottery is the state represented by the state.
clear, that the state thereby achieves several goals at once, namely: high confidence in such a lottery on the part of the population, full control over the lottery and distribution of tickets, full confidence that, that the remaining funds after the payment of all winnings will go to the treasury and in the future will be used for the social needs of the state or country, but will not be transferred to a bank account in some offshore.
That is why state foreign lotteries are an example of the maximum trust in them from the population..
By the way, the organizer of the Russian lottery "Gosloto" is by no means the state, and firm (more about it - here), which exists under the state law on the conduct of lotteries.
Yet again, this does not mean at all, that Gosloto will deceive you, but this lottery is not a state one in our understanding.

First advantage, rather obvious - this is the size of jackpots in foreign lotteries.
Almost sure, that you are interested in foreign lotteries precisely because, what did you hear about, how another lucky guy won a mind-blowing jackpot. Or they saw the amount of the jackpot not yet won and became interested in foreign lotteries.
Yes, yes, there is nothing surprising in this - the more prosperous the country is, the larger the winnings in local lotteries with a rather ridiculous cost of one combination in the ticket. The jackpot is not taken out of nowhere and is formed, of course, exclusively thanks to the participants, buying tickets. The richer the country, the more tickets are bought.
–
The second advantage of foreign lotteries is that winnings in some of them are not taxed by the state, in which these lotteries are held.
Yes, this does not apply to American lotteries, but applies, eg, to the Australian lotteries.
More about taxes and countries, where lottery winnings are tax-free, can be viewed here.

Third, not so obvious advantage of popular foreign lotteries is fair play. I am not at all going to oppose the same Russian lotteries to foreign.
I will never tell, that Russian lotteries are dishonest. I only affirm, that foreign lotteries are fair.
There are two reasons for this..
The first is that popular foreign lotteries are very tightly controlled by the state..
Special committees closely monitor the prevention of any fraud during the lottery.
The second reason is that there is no evidence, that foreign lotteries are unfair.
For all the time of their existence, there was not a single case, so that someone does not get their huge jackpot in a foreign lottery.
There was not a single case, when the organizers of these lotteries were caught cheating. Over the years in foreign lotteries bought total billions of tickets.
And there were no cases of cheating players by the organizers.
–
Fourth advantage (perhaps the most important thing) - no one will ever know in your city, that you became the owner of a large win in a foreign lottery.
I guess, what explosions of delight a person experiences, who won the Russian lottery with ten million rubles.
But something tells me, that after being intoxicated by such unexpected happiness, a person begins to seriously worry about, that sooner or later all and sundry will find out about his win. And only because, that envious people will always be found and whisper in everyone's ear about your winnings. This is not possible in a foreign lottery. Here is the unwillingness to spoil the image on the part of lottery organizers, and just age-old traditions of respect for other people's capital. So your millions, even potential, better get in a foreign lottery.
You will sleep well and you, and your not so lucky friends, friends and just neighbors.
–
The fifth advantage of foreign lotteries over Russian ones is the winning currency.
Whoever and what would not tell me about the Russian ruble, whoever claims what, but I remember well, where and how quickly the national currency rolled into the next financial crisis.
In foreign lotteries, you can choose the one, the currency you like most is the British pound sterling, dollars, euro…
Anyway, and it is better to fix your winnings in a reliable currency, than wake up on another black Monday (Tuesday, Wednesday, …) and sad to realize, that some of your winnings have already disappeared into nowhere.

Now let's look at the rules of the game
The rules are very similar to the game "Russian Lotto" . There are two playing fields in the ticket, each of which contains 15 digits. So, just in the ticket 30 numbers. These numbers cross out, when the host of the "Housing Lottery" takes out the number of the corresponding barrel from the lottery drum.
for example, if the leader took out the ball numbered 45, then all players, who have this number on the ticket, need to cross it out. In this way, they get one step closer to victory. In most cases, the presenter gets out of the lottery drum 86 barrels, after that the game ends. But sometimes it can be taken out 87 or even 88 barrels.
In the "Housing Lottery" 3 tour.
- In the first one those tickets win, who closed one line of the ticket before all others.
- Tickets won in the second round, who completely closed one playing field before everyone else.
- Participants wins in the third round, who managed to close the entire ticket earlier than others.
Sometimes in some matches there are special such.
Tour 1.
Called "number". Tickets win in it,and in which the last part of the number coincided with a combination of numbers, which the host took out of the barrel.
For example: the host can announce, that in the tour "number" all tickets win, whose numbers end in digits for example 73, 18. In this case, participant of the "number", whose ticket ended on 7318 wins.
Tour 2.
"Vertical". Here the coupons win, containing vertical, which consists of the numbers of the balls just drawn. Example: in the next game, the presenter did not get balls with numbers because of the lottery drum 23, 27, 29. In this case, a ticket that contains numbers in a vertical line will be winning.
How to increase your chances of winning?
Despite, that winning the lottery is mostly due to ordinary luck and coincidence, there are several ways to increase your chances.
- Buy more tickets. If buy 5-6 tickets chance increases. Turning to game theory and probability theory, you can note, that it is not amplified in 5-6 time, and about 20. It is recommended to purchase tickets, in which numbers are not repeated, to further increase the chance of winning.
- Participate in special raffles. There are special draws in the "Housing Lottery":
- "There will be three barrels" - the presenter will get 87, but not 86 kegs from his lottery drum;
- "There will be two barrels" - the presenter will get 88, but not 86 kegs from his lottery drum;
- "Number" - an additional round will be held (read about its features in the previous section);
- "Vertical" - an additional round will be held (read about its features in the previous section).
Is it realistic to win?
To evaluate, how realistic is it to win in the "Russian Lotto", you need to calculate the probability of winning in the current draw. for example, let's take the lottery, which took place 16 Martha 2018 of the year. Here are her results:
- 58 tickets won 1 000 000 rubles;
- In total there were 3 230 466 tickets;
Means, chance of victory 0,0032%. Not a little, and if you buy more tickets, can be reached 0,1%. This happens because, that buying another ticket, chance increases not in 2 times. The ticket increases the chance of winning out of the total number of tickets, and from that amount , which is left. excluding the main (who can win, and no).
The chance of getting a prize is slightly higher. For, so that, calculate the exact chance, you need to add the number of winning tickets and divide this number by 3 230 466 (total circulation). Total, wins 23% from all tickets.
Remarkably, what circulation, which passed 18 Martha 2018 of the year, was "ordinary". It was removed from the bag 86 barrels (but not 87 or 88), also there was no draw "Kubyshka". And the private, which means, that in other editions the chance of winning is greater: sometimes it reaches 24%.
