People doubt, but it normal

The lottery itself does not inspire unconditional trust in all people.. This is not surprising - after all, not every participant wins, what gives rise to those, unlucky, all sorts of speculation. Actually, everything is serious, honest and transparent. In Belarus, lotteries are organized by the two largest companies - "National Sports Lotteries" (Ministry of Sports and Tourism) and RUE "Belarusian Lotteries" (Office of the President). The lottery business is under 100% state control.

Gennady Shablovsky:

- In Soviet times, to increase trust in lotteries, children were attracted to draws - they cannot be taught to cheat like that, so that no one knows or suspects. Or famous persons with an "iron" reputation, eg, athletes. Today digital technologies have entered our lives so tightly., that the vast majority of the population understands very well, what is a random number and what is a random number generator. And if the Operational and Analytical Center confirms, that the rally is proceeding correctly, then it says a lot.

Although doubt is characteristic of absolutely everyone and in the simplest things: even playing Odd / Even, someone will certainly suspect an opponent of shifting a coin from one hand to another. We won't go anywhere from such moments. But, sure, that trust in online lotteries will only grow. The appearance of such lotteries is nothing else, as an inevitable natural process.

The expert advises not to get carried away excessively and remember that, that the lottery is primarily entertainment, not a means of earning. But at the same time, she gives someone a chance for something, to change your life for the better in an instant - and this is wonderful!

How the lottery begins

It is accepted to consider, that in Belarus lottery activity has gained an unprecedented scale in the post-Soviet expanses. Several organizations are engaged in it, among which are the two largest. The founder of the Unitary Enterprise "National Sports Lotteries" is the Ministry of Sports and Tourism, and RUE "Belarusian Lotteries" - Presidential Administration. We visited the "Belarusian Lotteries" with a guided tour.

What is a lottery in the mind of an ordinary Belarusian?, what associations does this word cause? Offhand: aggressive advertising, distributors in vests on city streets, TV shows on weekends and the faces of those, who are lucky enough to win a car or even a three-ruble note in a new building. it, however, just the tip of the iceberg. Every lottery, organizers say, starts with a goal and an idea.

- According to Belarusian legislation, the founder of the lottery can be republican government bodies or local executive committees, - Svetlana Korzhemanova, deputy head of the advertising and lottery department of RUE "Belarusian Lotteries", conducts an educational program for us. - The founder determines the purpose of the lottery, that is, a socially significant program, where will the money be sent. It can be the development of physical education and sports, health care, education, elimination of consequences of accidents and natural disasters, protection of nature and culture, etc.. d. For example, The Ministry of Emergency Situations is the founder of the lottery "For Security", and one of the goals of its implementation is to receive additional funds for measures to eliminate natural and man-made emergencies. The Ministry of Labor has established a lottery "Milasenasts", the purpose of its implementation is to receive additional funds for programs for the rehabilitation of disabled children. The Ministry of Culture is holding a lottery "Skarbnitsa", etc.. d.

- For ministries and departments, this is advertising, "Obligation" or still the opportunity to make good money? - we are interested.

- All over the world lotteries are held in order to receive additional funds for social programs. Each lottery founder in our country directs the proceeds to a specific project: school development, help for children, etc.. P. And if a person is unlucky to win, he must understand, that his small contribution went to a cause useful to society.

The economy of any lottery, experts explain, as follows: according to the law, players receive 45-50% of the amount for tickets sold as winnings. For example, if before the next draw of "your lotto" sold 100 thousand. lottery tickets worth 10 thousand. rubles (made a billion), then at least 500 million people will return.

- And all these remaining 50% will go to "social needs"? - we doubt.

- Lottery tickets are made from the rest of the amount, salaries are given to sellers, results of draws are published, relevant taxes are paid. And here is the rest of the profit, of course, goes for lottery purposes.

Ministry of Health does not warn

Why Belarusians actively play lotteries? Thanks to hyperactive ads? Or because, that we live in a poor country, where most residents cannot earn money for a car apartment on their own?

- Open the internet: in Russia, there are many lotteries in Ukraine, which, true, given to private hands, - our interlocutors disagree. - In our country, the state exercises strict control over lottery activities, it is completely transparent.

curious, that lotteries do not belong to the gambling business. Respectively, and gambling addiction, turns out, regular ticket buyers can't get sick. The Ministry of Health does not "warn" players ...

- Our people are reasonable enough, calm, moderate. We have not seen cases of sick lottery addiction, - Svetlana Korzhemanova says.

- What is "painful"? - we clarify. - This is when they buy tickets for the entire salary?

- More or less like this. They say the same, that an alcoholic can't live a day without a drink. But we never had such players.

But what were. The Belarusian Lotteries tried to make a portrait of a typical lottery participant. More often women play, residents of the capital or regional centers. Age and social status - varied. From student to plant manager.

By the way, it was a resident of the regional center who received one of the largest prizes in the history of Belarusian lotteries - a billion rubles. It happened last year. We contacted Natalia, who works in a private company, and asked, what did she spend the money on.

- Built the apartment as a young family, I bought a car - this was my biggest dream. Helped relatives. I put the rest in the bank, for the unborn child.

Well, quite predictable.

- Why the attitude towards lotteries is sharply negative, especially among Belarusian youth? - we do not restrain ourselves from the actual question at last.

- I will repeat again: not less 45% money, spent on buying tickets, return to players. If you spent a ruble, then 50 get kopecks back, - Svetlana Korzhemanova answers. - Many people forget about social projects too. As well as about that, that lotteries are used all over the world to raise funds from ordinary people. You think: someone will spend the last penny, to play the lottery? Of course, no!

When a person buys a ticket, he draws himself a dream, experiences positive emotions, organizers think: “Everywhere it is considered normal, so why we have lotteries is not normal?»

“Why not dream, but take and earn money for your dream yourself?"- we tried to object. But then they remembered, that lotteries are still a business. Let, according to our interlocutors, and socially oriented. Standard laws work here: there will be no supply without demand. And if trucks with printed lottery tickets are transported across Belarus every day, means, demand for "dream" (or for "freebie", what is there to hide) Belarusians still have great.

combination of circulation. There are the following ways to do this:

count your matches and determine the size of the prize money.

Place of receiving the prize

If you manage to win at keno in Belarus, then the winnings are paid
after the player's request within 24 hours. You also need to provide a number
cards, to which funds will be transferred. To clarify the address
nearest point of issue of winnings, you need to contact the hotline on
number "143". The call is made from
mobile operator MTS, Velcom, Live or from a stationary device.

There are the following ways to get:

  • to 600 rubles. Issuance is made in bank branches, offices
    organizers and venues for betting. The winner will need to provide
    passport;
  • from 600 rubles. By cash or to a bank card in
    special payout points. You will also need an ID.

+ 45% to the prize pool due to savings on printing and logistics

The transition from paper tickets to online in our country began not so long ago. Although gambling itself (game, in which the payoff depends on the case) in the sense of "playing for money" online has existed in the world for years 15.

The form of the drawing is the main difference between the online lottery and others. You don't need to print tickets here, deliver them around the country, do logistics, use the services of distributors, to hold draws with expensive TV broadcasts, collect unrealized tickets, destroy them, process winning tickets and do many other actions.

Hence the second difference follows - the size of the prize fund. Since many costs are eliminated, the savings are transferred to the prize pool, to make it more attractive to participants. If traditional lotteries are played 40-50% prize fund, then in online lotteries this figure is almost doubled.

Gennady Shablovsky:

- In the case of belbet, this is before 95% of the sum of all the lottery bets made. This is a very attractive figure for the gaming audience., which is much higher, than in traditional lotteries. Simply put, of bets on 100 000 rubles are raffled 95 000 rubles, which are randomly distributed among the players in different proportions.

The jackpot cannot be calculated

The likelihood of winning the lottery - offline or online - is low. She is, but much lower, than the likelihood of making money, increasing business efficiency, by achieving a pay rise or building a profitable investment portfolio. You have no control over winning the lottery, he is completely at the mercy of fortune. But people keep betting, because the lottery is a game, play is a kind of recreation, but everyone needs to rest.

Do Belarusians like to play - judge for yourself. Only in the instant lottery belbet less, than for 9 months, more than 26 million rubles. If you start from that, what is it 95% prize fund, easy to count, what Belarusians did in the online lottery of bets on 27,4 million rubles (or on 13,3 million dollars). According to the organizers, have experienced good luck in the game during this time 212 thousand participants. In July 2019 of the year on average every day 100 thousand Belarusian rubles, by mid-September this figure is already 250 thousand rubles. The record was also recorded in September - 400 thousand a day. Winning stories can be found in the media, who won both 10 000 rubles, and on 25 000. Besides cash prizes, here you can get gadgets from Samsung and Apple and cars.

Gennady Shablovsky

- I know enough mathematicians, participating in lottery draws. Someone is building a system, someone believes in a happy moment. But losses and victories have nothing to do with mathematical calculations or models.. I myself am a fairly experienced lottery player. Of course, not without passion inherent in a person. But, primarily, I need it in order, to understand, what participants feel during the game, including during a loss or, God forbid, winnings.

We ask Gennady Shablovsky a rhetorical question: "How to win a jackpot?». Here, as with any bet - everything is by chance.

- There are a lot of anecdotes on this topic, including those close to the intended answer: "For, to test your luck, at least buy a lottery ticket ". No math, there is no logical or other connection between the number of bets made and the winnings. One side, obviously, that the more bets are made, the higher the probability of winning. But it is possible, that you will only make one bet, and take the main prize. Not everything lends itself to mathematical comprehension and not everything can be put into a model. In my opinion, a person has a moment or a moment, in which he can get lucky. If at that moment you were sitting and eating borscht, then, probably, you missed him. To win, you need to match the right moment with the right action. When this will happen - no one knows, but, so as not to miss your moment, play from time to time, all of a sudden everything coincides right now.

Delivered to the conveyor

The goals sorted out. What does the technology look like?? Every day at the printing enterprises of the country, having special permission from the Department of State Marks of the Ministry of Finance for the production of strict reporting forms, print thousands of lottery tickets. In the Belarusian House of Press, we looked, how is this process hidden from the view of an ordinary person. After all, tickets - like passports - are made in a "regime" environment.

The first stage is the development of the design and the issuance of the original layout. Further on special equipment, purchased recently, including for the "lottery" purposes, printing plates are being manufactured.

The seal itself: until we get a ticket, but just "blanks", sheets of paper, non-material value.

The blank takes on "meaning" in the personification department. Here, data on the size of the winnings is applied to the ticket (talking about instant lotteries), then cover the blanks with special paint.

- Remove sheets only from a distance, - printers are in command of our photo correspondent.

Shop employees are unhappy people! A few moments, until the paint hid the secret, they possess the most valuable information about, where is the car "hidden", where is the apartment. Naturally, we asked, is it realistic in practice to mark a winning ticket and then track its path. Experts say, that even in theory this is impossible. From the printing house all tickets are sent to the warehouse "BL", among thousands of others scatter across the country. And the shop workers are responsible for non-disclosure.

Finally, in the primary control department, tickets are scanned - this procedure is repeated at the BC office. Here, the lottery tickets are counted again and then determined, where and how many to send them. The decision is made based on monitoring sales. For example, Vash Lotto is most actively played in Minsk, in second place - Gomel and Gomel region, then Vitebsk, Mogilev. Western regions - Grodno and Brest - close the list.

Tickets are delivered not in cashier cars, but there is no point in "robbing" the lottery stagecoaches - all the forms are marked, in case of loss, they will be immediately excluded from the drawing.

What do they do with tickets, which failed to sell? 10-20% returned to head office, re-scanned, go to destruction. How many tickets befell such a fate, do not speak - trade secret.
