Foreign lotteries that Russians can play

The largest lotteries

Australia's regular Monday lotto, Wednesdays and Saturdays were organized in the seventies of the last century. Gradually irrelevant pranks died out, while new ones were added, borrowed mainly from Americans. As a result, there are now several largest lotteries, most popular. These include:

• Powerball Australia (link is below)
• Oz Lotto (don't want to read, and immediately play - then click here)
• Monday (here) & Wednesday Lotto (if you play - here)
• Tattslotto (Saturday Lotto, Oz Saturday)

Powerball Australia

Australian Powerball - tracing paper from the American counterpart, appeared on the continent in 1996 year.

• Weekly draws on Thursdays with live TV broadcast.
• Guaranteed minimum for jackpot - AU $ 3 million.
• The game involves two lottery drums with forty-five balls each. All you have to guess 6 numbers - five in the first and one (Powerball ball) in the second.
• Chance of winning the jackpot is one in fifty five million, minimum prizes - 1:160 (will be from 8 to 15 dollars).

Oz Lotto

Popular giveaway, leading his story with 1994 of the year, when Tattersall was able to negotiate with several states to host joint games.

Monday & Wednesday Lotto

Australians, without further ado, call many lotteries the days of the week, when the draws take place. So the MW Lottery is held twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays..

• The minimum jackpot is AUD $ 1 million. If there are two winners, each will receive a million. If there are more winners, they will split two million among themselves.
• Another difference between this lotto is, that the jackpot is not cumulative, amounts not won will not be transferred to the next draw.
• The lottery drum contains 45 balls, six main and two additional. For, to win the jackpot, you have to guess all the main numbers. Other combinations including those with additional balls, give smaller winnings.
• The chance to hit the jackpot is one of 8,1 million.

Tattslotto

In the full sense of this word, Tattslotto is not a lottery, more precisely does not pass under that name. This discrepancy is due to the fact, that the two lotteries were united under the Tatersall brand, engaged in lottery business for over fifty years. In fact, Tattslotto is known at home, as common in New South Wales, South and East Australia Saturday Lotto, and also Gold Lotto in Queensland.

so, last in a row, but not the last most popular on the continent Australia Saturday Lotto, passing, as the name suggests, weekly Saturday morning.

• Oz Saturday minimum jackpot is four million.
• Draws with a jackpot size of up to thirty million are held approximately once every one and a half to two months.
• For, to win the maximum amount, you should guess six main balls from 45. The lottery drum drops six main and two additional. Other combinations with balls allow you to win smaller amounts.
• The chance of winning is 1 to 8 millions (jackpot), 1:144 (minimum).
• No online broadcasts (only television), however, there is access to the archives.

All American lotteries, specifications

I must say, that there are not many lottery projects in the USA - the two most famous ones with the possibility of a multi-million dollar win are Mega Millions and PowerBall. There are also several mini-lotteries and instant. Let's see, what are they.

3.1. Mega Millions Lottery

Minimum jackpot - 15 million dollars and it grows from circulation to circulation, if none of the players guesses the combination of numbers 5/75 and 1/15. It's hard enough to do it, the chances of winning the main prize are low, therefore, its amount can rise to several hundred million.

If you really want to play the American lottery, but not a US resident, the rate on your behalf will be paid by the local representative of the intermediary site.

Numbers are drawn using two lottery drums. The balls with the numbers of the main draw are painted white and loaded into one lottery drum, and additional - in red (loaded into the second).

Ticket design, acquired in different states, may differ slightly.

3.2. Powerball lottery

The game scheme is somewhat reminiscent of Mega Millions: 5/69 (main draw) and 1/26 ( additional).

The chances of winning the top prize are negligible - 1 to 292 201 338, and to win any prize - 1 to 25 .

The jackpot in this lottery is never lower 40 million dollars and is constantly growing until that time, until somebody rips it off.

Yesterday's win (read at the beginning of the article), albeit dizzy, but not so big, as was on one of the printings last year - 1, 56 billion dollars were won by three lucky people from different states.

Winnings over 600$ can only be obtained at the lottery office - this can be done for you by a representative of the intermediary company. And again I have to remind, that not all concierges are bona fide.

Jackpots are given to winners in two ways: as a lump sum and as an annuity (parts over several years). Small winnings await their owners for a year, and if after this time no one asked for them, prizes are donated to charities.

3.3. Mini lotteries

They differ from the standard ones in the frequency of draws and in the smaller number of numbers required for guessing. for example, in Florida Lucky Money the algorithm is as follows: 4/47 + 1/17. Jackpot amounts too, respectively, less, than in big lotteries.

Honestly, where can Russian players buy a ticket for the American lottery in mini format, I cant, since I have not met them on any of the intermediary sites.

3.4. American Instant Lotteries

These are scratches popular among Americans with colorful designs., non-selectable numbers. But even the most reliable intermediaries are unlikely to sell them to you online.. The American instant lottery requires the player to erase the protective field - simply "scratch" the surface of the paper ticket.

I told about this type of lottery for informational purposes.

Opinion of Russian players

On the Internet, opinions about American lotteries are different: there are supporters, but there are also opponents

Supporters' arguments:

• Russian lottery participants, purchasing tickets in the country, appreciate the size of potential prizes, especially jackpots.
• Experienced players celebrate the fair and open drawing system. It is broadcast live, falsification of results is excluded.

Opponents' opinions:

• Complex ticket purchasing process, large commissions of intermediaries (they reach 15%).
• There are no official ticket distribution points on the network, so you have to rely on your instincts in assessing intermediaries.
