Principles of jackpot drawing
Throughout the history of the "Russian Lotto" jackpot was determined by two principles, which are quite similar, but the probability of success in them varies greatly. You will hardly find this information in the rules of the game on the Stoloto website, however, it is contained in the order of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation from 19 August 2016 r. № 982 "On the approval of the conditions of the five drawing all-Russian state lotteries in support of the development of physical culture and sports". The document was signed by the former Minister of Sports Vitaly Mutko.
In particular, in the section "Conditions of the fourth drawing all-Russian state lottery in support of the development of physical culture and sports", two algorithms for drawing a jackpot are given. This is stated in paragraph 14.21 section.
Algorithm # 1
Jackpot get those tickets, in which 15 numbers from 30 in two playing fields coincide with all fifteen dropped kegs for the first 15 moves.
In this case, the probability of winning is 1 chance from almost 23 quadrillion, that is, insignificant 4,37-15%.
Algorithm # 2
Win tickets, in which, on the move determined by the operator, the numbers dropped out during the draw coincide 15 numbers from 30, located in the two playing fields of the ticket.
In this case, the probability can increase significantly, but for a single lottery participant it will still remain insignificant - 1 chance out 295 232 118, it is approximately 3,4-7%.
Lottery organizers change these two ways from draw to draw at their discretion. Since the first way to win the jackpot in the "Russian Lotto" is almost impossible, then this one is used rather to accumulate a large prize size. Then the second method comes into force - then the super prize can already find its owner.
Before, how in 2016 the second principle appeared, hitting the jackpot didn't work for several years, since the mathematics simply did not allow it. After the introduction of the second principle, they began to receive superprizes much more often.
How will the draw go
New Year lottery "Russian Lotto" - special, her rules
different from the usual draw, which took place weekly throughout the year.
The organizers will compete for the prize fund in three rounds, everything in the game will be 88 moves,
which will guarantee to identify the winner, who will hit the jackpot - 1
billion rubles.
Each ticket has two playing fields from the set numbers, in
one row there are five. The rally begins with, what the host gets out of the bag
barrels, all of them 90. In the first round, the game is on, until one of the tickets
all five digits will be crossed out in any one horizontal line. how
only the winner appears, the tour ends.
Second round - main. It is in it that the New Year will be played
billion. The winner will be the one, who will have everything crossed out first
15 digits in one of the ticket fields. Probability theory, such lucky ones
maybe several, however, in practice, such coincidences can be
maximum for two or three people.
In the third round, the host will get the remaining kegs - total
there will be 88. The winners must match everything 30 numbers on the ticket, they will
claim one hundred prizes for 1 million rubles, as well as other cash
prizes. The organizers promised, that every second ticket will win. General
prize fund - about 3 billion rubles.
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.
