1 ticket - 1 winner
One single ticket in your hand is not a requirement at all. On the contrary, the more tickets you have, the higher the chances of winning. But if all your lottery bets won, then you can only pick up the reward for one of them, eg, that one, in which the largest number of numbers are guessed.

Jackpot and other differences
The first, and the most important difference between these lotteries, this is the jackpot. If in "Russian Lotto" players are lured into the opportunity to win one main prize, then in the same Spain there is no jackpot, there are only first category prizes (400 00 euros), but there are a lot of them - in the last draw there were about 1700!
What does it lead to? To that, that those, who wins big a lot! Couldn't Spain be nominated as a jackpot, received by one participant - 250 million euros or even billion? Yes Easy! The rest of the prizes would also have.
Nevertheless, this does not happen, the emphasis is on large, but reasonable prizes. 400 thousand euros or 125 thousand (most of the prize pool is spent on these categories) - these are very good amounts, they allow you to close many of the current problems of the average winner - to buy a home or pay a mortgage, spend money on the education of children or use it for a quiet and prosperous old age, start your business. But they do not allow you to forget about work forever and live only from the prize money - apparently this is not the purpose of distributing winnings
And how the prize fund is distributed in our case? This is most clearly shown with a diagram
Share of large, medium and small winnings in holiday draws (Spain and Russia)
Judging by the diagram, almost the entire prize fund in the "Russian Lotto" lottery went to the payment of small amounts, barely exceeding the ticket price. On 18,9 million tickets won from 101 to 131 ruble, at the cost of the ticket itself - 100 rubles
In the Spanish Christmas lottery for similar winnings (20 euros, that is, the cost of the ticket) only leaves 14,3 % prize fund.
Average winnings, in which the refund amount (of the ticket price) ranged from 5x to 2,000x in Spain accounted for almost half of the prize pool - 44,6%. And in the lottery Russian Lotto there were only such 0,87% (117 tickets with winnings 161 290 or 181 818 rubles)
The situation is the same for large wins.. In El Gordo de Navidad 41,7% was awarded with significant prizes (from 50 000 to 400 000 euros). In our New Year lottery only 40 tickets won a million rubles, it turns out that the share of large wins was 1,75% from the prize fund. But we have a jackpot - whole 250 million rubles (of which 161 million has accumulated from previous printings) will be awarded to one single winner. Which you and I will never see, for his safety
Medieval history
