Two principles of the jackpot
14 (XIV) the point of the Order is dedicated to the prize fund (and its distribution structure) as well as the rules for the drawing, algorithms for determining winnings and details of the super prize that is rolling from one draw to another. Among other details, it was told about the nuances of jackpot draws:
Wherein, not in the order, nor in the lottery rules published on the Stoloto website, nothing is said about the likelihood of one way or another of the jackpot being drawn, although this is basic information. For, to make it clear what this is about, let's dwell on this in more detail.
Principle # 1
The first draw is a numerical formula 15 of 90. The probability of winning in the given scenario (15 numbers for 15 moves coincide with 15 numbers in one field) is 1:45 795 673 964 460 800 (one on 45,8 quadrillion!). Considering, that there are two playing fields in one ticket, the chance to hit the jackpot is obtained 1:22 897 836 982 230 400. Nearly 23 quadrillion! It's incredible, astronomical chance, which even has nothing to compare. There are no events in our life with such a probability.
Simply put, then the use of principle # 1 is a de facto ban on the jackpot, just because, that with such initial data it is impossible.
Principle # 2
The more interesting is the second option. At first sight, compared to the wording of principle no., not much changes, but this is the case, when the changes are dramatic.
At first, instead of the rigidly fixed concept of the 15th move, a range of possible options for the operator is added ("In which on the go, defined by the operator ").
And secondly ... changing the base to determine the matching numbers (15 numbers from 30, located in the two playing fields of the ticket) don't just double the odds, it increases them many times. Just because, what is the expanded rate here - 15 numbers for 15 (or n) moves with marked 30 numbers.
Using principle # 2, the probability of winning the jackpot is 1 chance out 295 232 118. Principle # 2 has been used for the last year and a half.. During this time, the jackpot was hit four times:
- circulation no. 1204, from 5 November 2017 — 506 million rubles won by Natalia Vlasova from Panino
- circulation no. 1206, from 19 November 2017 — 100 million rubles went to a resident of the Stavropol Territory
- circulation no. 1212, from 1 january 2018 — 250 million rubles received (?) unknown student from Kazan
- circulation no. 1231, from 13 May 2018 — 209 million rubles went to an unknown resident of Tver.
Previously, for several years (period ended in October-November 2017) the jackpot in the Russian Lotto has never been broken. Just because, that it was impossible - the prohibitive principle number 1 was in effect.
Which lottery is better to play
Of course, in this review, we have not listed all the lotteries, which are currently being played. There is a lot of variety. The answer to the question of which lottery is better to play sounds very simple: better play that lottery, which is close to the player in spirit and temperament.
If you are a maximalist in life, and don't agree for anything less - buy that lottery, where the jackpot is currently higher.
If reasonable risk is important to you, play the lottery 5 of 36 - jackpots are rarely high, but the mathematical chances of a big win are greater than most other lotteries.
If it is psychologically easier for you to play by receiving periodic small “incentive” prizes or it is important to watch the lottery draw on TV by all means - play Russian Lotto.
However, you can find your motives for playing this or that lottery.

New Year's draw options
Hit the jackpot on New Year's Eve, seem to be, nobody will succeed, it's just impossible. What are the options for further development of events? Actually there are only two of them: will the organizers give the claimed prize, or still not:
1 the winner will receive one billion rubles (or winners) second round. That's quite possible. In this case, the first level of the draw (jackpot) turns out to be a mere formality, and the declared prize will be shared by the winners of the second round. If it turns out to be one person, then he will receive a billion (minus 13%, i.e 870 million), and if there are two or more, then the amount will be divided among all.
Last New Year's edition (№1212) in the second round one participant won. true, there are more - over the past 24 of draw, the second round ended twice with a victory of two players, but once (in circulation №1245) won immediately 10 participants.
A billion will not be given to anyone. At all, hypothetically, such a possibility exists ... The only question is, how to present it. As an option, можно ограничить кол-во ходов, during which the "Jackpot of the second round" is determined by completing it earlier, how the winners will appear. You can go further and organize the "Third Round Jackpot" in which to distribute the unannounced, and the accumulated super prize (those same 300-450 million), eventually, no one promised about him, that exactly a billion will be played
Generally, with a strong desire, you don't need to play a billion. Do as last year: allocate part of the money for one large prize, part into a lot of medium (promise 100 prizes for 1 a million) and use the rest for small winnings.
Well, and we, as always, we give preference to Gosloto 4 of 20!
