Promising is not sharing
true, not a billion will be distributed to everyone, but only 161 one million rubles. Why? Потому-что миллиард это лишь обещание, physically it does not exist. There is an accumulated jackpot, the same, to increase which in each draw, a part of the prize fund is withdrawn - it is this that will be distributed.
The accumulated jackpot is now 161 one million rubles. This amount was accumulated in just 5 circulation.
Prize pool and deductions to the jackpot of the latter 5 circulation
As we can see, еженедельно суммы изымались существенные. Особенно показателен тираж № 1209, can be disassembled using his example:
- 2 340 603 - number of tickets, who took part in the drawing
- 117 030 150 - prize fund of the draw
- 68 030 150 - went to the payment of prizes
- 49 000 000 - Sent to the jackpot
49 million (!) from one print run, nearly 42% призового фонда пошло в джекпот. This is a lot. Perhaps the players are not thinking, but in this way the conditions of the lottery become worse - fewer large prizes, less other payments
In many of the world's lotteries, a significantly smaller proportion of the prize pool goes to the jackpot. And large sums are collected because, что играет много людей. Yes, крупный джекпот повышает интерес к игре и, respectively, sales. But, изымать ради его роста столь заметную часть призового фонда — в корне неправильный подход.
If there was competition in the market, then players would have a choice - to participate in the lottery where the jackpot is higher or there, где призовой фонд распределяется на призы второй-третьей категории. A great example of a lottery that focuses on many big prizes is El Gordo de Navidad (Spain) where are the winnings 400 000 евро исчисляются сотнями. Another good example is the experience of the Soviet Sportloto, when there was no jackpot at all.
К сожалению наш оператор занимает монопольное положение и может направлять в джекпот практически любую сумму. This moment is not regulated by law. As well as the existence of guaranteed (promised) super prize. Currently, the operator can announce any jackpot size, he does not need to accumulate money for this in advance, what would be right, and he actively uses it - the example of the New Year's billion is very typical
Closed lotteries
The list of these lotteries would not be complete without mentioning lotteries, which were popular, but ceased to exist. On many sites they are still marked as existing, but this is far from the case.
"Lotto Million" - a pioneer, one of the most popular numerical lotteries in modern Russia in the 90s. The lottery organizers did not just create a drawing, and a whole weekly show.

Golden Key - up to 2016 of the year competed with the Russian Lotto, giving away each draw for several apartments.
Railroad Lottery - monthly numerical lottery, contested 6 of 36. I remember those people, that lottery tickets were sold by conductors on passenger trains. The draws were not broadcast on television.
