Under the squint: lottery win generator

Completion of the big game

In the same year, The Boston Globe talked about a loophole in WinFall and about bookmaker syndicates, profited from it. In summer 2011 years Gregory Sullivan, Inspector General of Massachusetts, made a detailed report on this issue. Sullivan noted, that the actions of the MIT group and others were completely legal, and he came to the conclusion, that "the odds of a winning bet did not affect high volume bets". Nonetheless, it was clear, that only a few players, only those, who could play big, made money on WinFall. To avoid a repetition of such cases, the organizers limited the amount of ticket purchases per person to the amount $ 5 000, and soon the WinFall lottery was completely closed

Despite, what lottery officials denied, about that, what do they know about the influence of the syndicates on the lottery, Sullivan concluded, what did they know about the situation back in 2005, and even allowed the installation of additional terminals in special stores, used by students. In this case, the organizers were in an obvious plus - out of every $ 2 went to the prize fund $ 1,20 (60%), and the more money was in the game, the more the earnings of the lottery itself became.

Steve Grossman, state treasurer, said - "I feel, what is important to make a public apology, because the game was created, which allowed syndicates to gain special opportunities, which others did not have. We regret, that some got an unfair advantage ". MIT Group for 7 years of work, I bought lottery tickets for 17-18 million dollars

The group's profit was not disclosed, considered, that it was at least 3,5 million dollars

MIT Group for 7 years of work, I bought lottery tickets for 17-18 million dollars. The group's profit was not disclosed, considered, that it was at least 3,5 million dollars.

Multimillion-dollar turnover did not change the lifestyle of the founder of the group. When James Harvey first started his game, he drove a Chevrolet Corsica 1995 of the year, bought at auction for 500 dollars. As MIT became successful he switched to Nissan Altima 1999 of the year

MIT Group, perhaps, one of the most successful syndicates in history, if you measure it not activity not only by the total amount, and also the duration and effectiveness of the game.

But they weren't the only students. In the same lottery, the Selby family syndicate played on an equally large scale - the total winnings of which for 9 years was more than 27 million dollars. Head of family, recently sold the rights to film his story and, perhaps, a great movie is coming soon. Dynamic, with a famously twisted plot, unexpected turns, the rivalry of the largest syndicates and big money. So, how it was in life.

As for the records of MIT students and the Selby syndicate, then their indicators are unlikely to be beaten by anyone. After all, this also requires a lottery with a special condition - regular distribution runs.. And there are almost no such lotteries now.

P. s. IN 2015 the average American spent on lottery tickets $ 206 annually. This amount varies from state to state, somewhere they buy very few, for example in North Dakota - $ 34,09 annually. And somewhere this indicator is many times higher than the average.. Massachusetts among the leaders, its residents spend annually on lottery tickets $ 734,85. Maybe some big game is still going on there, about which we do not know yet?

Dublin Syndicate

Irish Lottery Syndicate, which in September 2014 decided to participate in the famous EuroMillions lottery. A group of people became unrealistically rich overnight, because the winning amount was € 86 700 000, but the guys used the right of non-disclosure of personal data of the winners. Therefore, neither their names, no surnames are known. All, what did we know for certain, so this is the place to get lucky lottery tickets. It turned out to be the city of Dublin. This story is different from previous topics, that the jackpot was won by only one ticket, therefore the members of the Dublin Syndicate lottery team received their full winnings.

Background and preparation

The first Irish National Lottery draw took place on Saturday, 16 April 1988 of the year. The lottery used a number formula 6 of 36, the chance of guessing the main prize in this case is 1 to 1 947 792. Winnings were awarded for 4, 5 or 6 rooms. If no one guessed the six, then the jackpot increased, until, until someone gets lucky. Starting (guaranteed) суперприз составлял 250 000 pounds.

IN 1992 year Polish-Irish businessman Stefan Klintsevich, managed to implement the perfect lottery winning plan, the idea of ​​which came to his mind in 1990, in a dublin pub, when the lottery jackpot approached another record value.

Stefan Klincevic

The plan was elegantly simple and incredibly complex., I just had to wait for the moment, when the super prize reaches its maximum values, и… выкупить все комбинации. I.e, сделать 1 947 792 rates. On condition, that the cost of the bet was 0,5 pound this game made sense only, when the jackpot exceeded a million. Everything remained, what to prepare in advance

Syndicate, which included 28 a person, long before the planned circulation, collected the necessary money and transferred it to the bank for safekeeping. An office was also organized in a central location, to coordinate the purchase of tickets. За полгода подготовки Клинцевич заполнил 243 474 лотерейные квитанции, marking the desired combinations.

In May 1992 the lottery jackpot is close to the desired value. While waiting for the next draw, Stefan did not sleep for three days, the tension was building. Finally the circulation has passed, the jackpot was not hit, the amount of the super prize increased to 1,7 million pounds and Klintsevich decided - it's time to take!

Completed receipts were on hand, all that was left to issue them with retail agents and the syndicate began to recruit teams of ticket buyers. Hotel rooms have been booked across the country, the necessary money was delivered to nearby banks and the process began. Couriers placed bids within a week, before lottery officials discovered something was wrong. The shops, previously selling lotteries on 1 000 pounds a day, вдруг начали ежедневно регистрировать квитанции на 15 000 pounds. “We chose points, in which they did not interfere with other people, buying tickets "- said Klintsevich.

National Lottery officials tried to thwart this plan, limiting the number of tickets, on one lottery terminal, turning off those, that sold too many tickets. On Friday afternoon, newsstands circulated a short statement from the National Lottery - a change in the terms of the contract in accordance with section 32: Credit limit = 200% from the agent's average sale over 10 weeks

Despite this, the syndicate managed to buy out more 80% combinations, spending about 820 thousand pounds sterling. The choice of combinations was determined by the system, developed by Stephen: the most likely options were put first, and the least probable stayed last. Nevertheless, the syndicate was lucky. 80 of 100 albeit a high percentage of coverage, but he does not guarantee the main prize. It would be a shame, if the winning combination ended up in the remaining 20%

Once the receipts have been issued, they were returned to headquarters and placed in secure storage. “When you have all the tickets, you just sit and enjoy the show "- said Klintsevich. Nevertheless, even if all existing combinations are bought out at all, there is another risk factor for any syndicate - other players, who managed to guess the winning combination in this particular draw.

How to create a lottery syndicate?

To start -
must be at least 18 years old. If you are an adult, you can safely buy tickets
independently or team up with other players. Next, consider step by
step.

1. Decide on the game and rules.

If you do
decided to create our own lottery pool, should, first of all, will be determined
with the game. We recommend not to spray several. Choose one, which
you like the most. Study its rules carefully, possibility of increasing
bet or system game. Read all the organizers' recommendations, find out
points of sale of tickets and conditions of payment of winnings. You should be fine
savvy in everything, as for the game, to answer the questions of others
syndicate members.

2. Put the rules on paper.

So that in the process
there was no disagreement in the game, all the rules should be written down on paper, make up
something like a contract. The full names of all must be entered on the same document.
participants with their own signatures. If in the future you have
disagreements, you can refer to the file, in which everything is fixed. it
significantly reduces the likelihood of misunderstandings and incomprehensible situations.

3. Choose a time and place for the gathering of participants.

Offline
syndicates usually involve players meeting before each lottery draw, in
which they take part. Convenient, if you always have a place for
holding meetings. There are a lot of options: you can arrange a meeting at someone's home,
choose a cozy coffee shop or coworking space.

4. Determine the method of selection of numbers.

This step calls
most heated discussions, but there is no way around it. Trust the generator
random numbers will not work. After all, the syndicate involves a big purchase
lottery tickets or expanded bets. So that the combinations are not repeated and cover
the largest number of rooms, have to decide on their own. You can
choose constant numbers to play, and you can pick up new ones every time.

5. Determine the amount of contributions and prize payments.

This item
suggests several options. The fixed fee is suitable for permanent
membership fees. Regardless of the number of participants, everyone pays the same
amount of money. Depending on this, the number of tickets and the percentage will vary
win. There is a second option - everyone pays a different amount, cost
winnings are calculated proportionally. If your pool does not have a persistent
composition, the second option would be more appropriate.

The syndicate is also called "pool". It has two varieties:

1. Own syndicate (it is also called offline). Such a group of people is selected from a close circle - relatives, acquaintances, comrades, etc..
   The indisputable advantages of this type of syndicate include the following:, that in such a group it is easier to agree and establish their own rules of existence. Most often, one member is nominated from the composition of such a syndicate., who takes responsibility for buying tickets for everyone. Respectively, this member of the syndicate will represent the group when receiving prizes. Besides, such a syndicate representative keeps statistics, follows the draws, keeps tickets for the whole group (when it comes to paper copies).

   The syndicate is not limited by the number of members who join it. The group chooses the numbers for the game together or assigns this matter to one representative.

2. Ready syndicate. It is also called online. In such a group, people are recruited randomly. Often, members of the same syndicate don't even know each other. Online syndicate requires certain rules. Every new member, when joining a syndicate, accepts and abides by these rules. Such associations of players involve a certain fee for participation in them.. Also, the number of participants in such a group is limited.

Lottery tickets are filled in randomly, less often by the founders of the syndicate.

Each lottery syndicate has a set of rules, and each participant must fulfill them.

1. Syndicate members can only be of legal age, that is, older 18 years If a person has not reached the specified age mark, then not only the syndicates will not deal with him, but also organizers of lottery games, since in almost every lottery, reaching the age of majority is a prerequisite.
2. A citizen of any country has the right to become a member of the pool. The main requirement is the recognition of the syndicate rules., where does the player live, become a member of the online pool, does not matter at all. The only exception is joining the pool., whose rules require community. Talking about offline pools (they are made up of friends, relatives, acquaintances), then representatives of this group are located in the same country by default.
3. Everyone is accepted into the pool individually. This rule mainly applies to offline syndicates.. There, the candidacy of each future member is considered by the group and a mutual decision is made whether to accept the player into the syndicate or not.. Besides, additional membership fee may be required, but this is not in all syndicates.
4. Conscientiousness and activity are the main criteria for selecting participants. These two characteristics mean:
   • payment of fees and purchase of tickets at clearly indicated times;
   • participation in group discussion and formation of a game strategy;
   • the ability to find compromise solutions and be open to communication;
   • control of the game process and transfer of information as needed to other members of the syndicate;
   • ability to unite a group, attract new members.
5. Contract. Joining a syndicate, each participant must carefully read the rules of the game group, take them and stick to them as much as possible.
6. Group - a single organism. All strategies and tactics of the game are coordinated in a reciprocal order before the game. Self-manipulation, whatever they are, prohibited. When joining a lottery syndicate, this should always be remembered., so as not to run into a misunderstanding of the group.
7. Failure to pay the contribution is punishable by exclusion from the pool or a fine. There are frequent cases, when one of the lottery syndicate members stops paying the membership fee on a regular basis. There can be a lot of reasons for this - from problems at work to a simple loss of interest in the game.. If such a participant does not renew payments within 90 days, then it is excluded by agreement of all players in the pool. Another scenario for unscrupulous members of the syndicate is the application of penalties for failure to pay the membership fee on time.
8. Other syndicate rules. All the rules can be attributed to this point., that arise inside the pool. Since the syndicate is a self-governing unit, then the rules are created by the participants themselves. There are frequent cases, when the pool rules clearly state, that only a person of a certain gender or profession can become a member of a game group. Syndicates are also common, which rules indicate, that the participants play only, eg, in the lottery of Australia and no other game options simply cannot exist.

Outstripping the competition

MIT carried out its largest operation in 2010. After, as a result of the next draw, past 12 August, the accumulated jackpot was 1,68 million dollars, the organizers assumed, that the next distribution circulation can occur only after 2 or 3 circulation. Numerous syndicates (at the time, WinFall was the most profitable lottery game in the country) began to prepare for the game - at the end of the month they planned to receive thousands of dollars in winnings

But, продолжения не получилось — уже в следующем тираже, 16 August prize fund exceeded 2 million. This stream of sales led to a distribution jackpot where no one expected it..

Lottery employees were just as surprised: they have never sold so many tickets at such a low jackpot. Someone deliberately brought the situation to the distribution circulation, buying up a large number of tickets. Realizing, that ticket sales are dependent on the estimated jackpot and potential distribution, the organizers did not want to get an underestimation of the prize pool

Lottery officials believed, that the jackpot is less 1,7 млн долларов слишком мал для наступления roll-downs – крупному игроку пришлось бы приобрести более 500 000 tickets, to push it above the limit 2 million. It would take so many tickets to issue 80 hours, therefore the organizers did not expect, that someone can try to do it

MIT felt differently. Analyzing past circulations, the group found, what if the jackpot has not yet exceeded 1,6 million, then the forecast of its growth for the next circulation never exceeded 2 million. On top of that, a new factor emerged - more and more people bought tickets for the distribution circulation, this included numerous syndicates. In this situation, the risk of losing money increased, and potential winnings decreased

In such a competitive environment, it was important to gain an edge over other teams.. The MIT group did it, understanding the game better, than many competitors

Extensive planning resulted in the decision to force the accumulation of the jackpot after reaching the level 1,6 million. Для этой игры группе пришлось заполнить 700 000 tickets. The result met expectations - most of the accumulated jackpot went to Harvey's syndicate, who in this situation turned out to be the only major and systemic player. Of 983 winning tickets, for the amount $ 600 and more - the MIT group took 860, i.e 90%!. This time, the group's net income was almost $ 700 000. true, this was her last game.

But syndicates are not so scary, how they are painted.

Most often, such a combination is a lifeline for some players..

Syndicate members fired on one day in Canada, since they got cut. The employees decided to mark the last day at work by buying lottery tickets, so to speak, for luck. What was their surprise, when it became known, what the syndicate won 7 million dollars!

So whether to join a syndicate or not is not an unambiguous question.. Someone is profitable, someone - no.

Here are some situations, when you should definitely not join a syndicate:

• the player is not in the habit of sharing and the division of the prize between the members of the syndicate will cause him irreparable harm from a psychological point of view;
• the participant does not trust the members of the syndicate and is not sure about the reliability of those syndicates, which he is offered to choose from;
• a person cannot compromise and negotiate with other members of the association;
• the player is insolvent.

As a conclusion

Oceans 16

The participants of this lottery association are 16 Ocean County Logistics Workers, located in New Jersey. They were incredibly lucky at the end of the summer 2013 years in the Powerball lottery.

Lottery syndicate – Oceans 16

Their story is very similar to the Three Amigos.: the jackpot was 448 million dollars and was equally divided between the three lucky ones. Among which was the lucky one lotto syndicate Oceans 16. Hence, lucky ones got one third, and this 149 million. Like all law-abiding US citizens, the guys paid the necessary taxes, and “clean” they got on $ 3 800 000 for each

Particular attention is drawn to the fact, what summer 2013 Ocean County suffered the aftermath of a devastating tornado, and these people deservedly received their cash prize

Main advantages of a lottery syndicate

Primarily, its useful to note, that the syndicate significantly increases the chances of players to win an impressive amount of money. For example, if someone from such a company managed to hit the jackpot in the amount of 15 million. dollars, then each of the participants can count on ½ of the total winnings, and in monetary terms, this is a really good result - 750 thousand. dollars.

Among the advantages of buying lotteries from a syndicate are the following:

• The syndicate is able to purchase an impressive number of lottery tickets, rather than a single player. In this way, the chances of winning are significantly increased.
• If you do not have the opportunity to spend fabulous sums of money trying to hit the jackpot, then the syndicate will be an excellent solution to this problem. It will be especially relevant for participation in multi-million dollar lotteries..

But there are some disadvantages in group play.. The main one is the human factor.. After all, it is very difficult to predict the behavior of other participants in the event of a large win, therefore there are no guarantees, that there will be no conflicts on this basis.

However, today there is a great opportunity to avoid such problems.. To do this, just take advantage of the offer from the lottery company, which acts as the organizer of the syndicate. By purchasing a ticket, you just need to select the option, allowing the player to join a syndicate.

The amount of the winnings in this case will depend on, how many shares were purchased by you. Of the advantages of this solution, one should definitely highlight the fact, which you will not need to determine with the participants, who will get how much money. All winnings will be divided according to certain rules and the number of shares.

Syndicate lottery tickets are currently available for purchase in the following lotteries:

• The slogan;
• Euromillions;
• Powerball;
• Eurojackpot;
• Fransloto;
• more 21 lottery.

Its useful to note, that playing on the Internet is very convenient. In this way, each player can independently control their own stake in the syndicate. The fact deserves special attention, that the collection of money is recorded and distributed automatically. Also on the Internet you can observe, how many tickets were purchased, which ones became winning, and what is the amount of the win.

In order to achieve your goal and become the owner of an impressive amount of money, just take action

And it doesn't matter at all, who will participate in the syndicate: colleagues, relatives, staff, friends or players of the internet community. the main thing, this is a positive attitude towards winning and then luck will certainly smile on you

Russian lottery syndicates

Russian law does not prohibit participating in groups and creating lottery syndicates. There are many lotteries in the country, where groups are allowed.

Stoloto is the country's official lottery organizer. It combines several dozen different draws. This is Russian Lotto, Housing lottery and others. Coupons can only be purchased at official points of sale. Coupon prices range from 20 to 200-250 rubles. https://lotosyndicate.ru - portal, where you can join a ready-made team or create your own. According to citizens' reviews, this website can be trusted. Winnings are from 100 rubles and above. Apartments are constantly raffled, cars, at home.

Other tickets in Russia occupy a lower position in the rating, and too few members to create a syndicate. This situation is due to the fact, that the state supervises and controls the activities of the country's main organizer. Hence the trust of citizens and the chance of selling all coupons in the circulation. Every week citizens throughout Russia win good sums of money.

There are intermediaries for the implementation of lottery syndicates, taking heavy commissions for services. Experts advise against using questionable services, but go and register on the official website of the state lottery.

All tickets go through the verification procedure, which eliminates the chance of getting a fake coupon. Similar drawings have been held since the times of the USSR. Money can be withdrawn in any convenient way, and jackpot winners or cars, apartments or houses are placed in the newspaper and on the website.

Syndicate members are not protected by law

У публичного синдиката есть еще один минус. Neighbors, relatives or colleagues can see with their own eyes, how many tickets were bought, какие на них номера, что за лотерея, а если билет выиграл — сам кусочек бумаги. Но когда на билеты скидываются незнакомые люди, то неизвестно даже, покупались ли билеты вообще.

Российские законы не запрещают синдикаты и математические выкладки для расчета выигрышей. Но с двумя существенными оговорками:

1. Выигрыш — это не товар. You can't buy it. И сослаться на закон о правах потребителей, demanding payments, тоже не получится.
2. Права игроков в суде можно защитить только в том случае, если организатор игр получил соответствующее разрешение. А по закону все лотереи в РФ — государственные.

Договор между организатором и участником игр оформляется выдачей билета, receipts or other method provided for by the rules for organizing games. Если вы не приобретали билет сами или не можете его предъявить — с точки зрения закона вы не участник игры. А в случае публичного синдиката о самом факте оптовой закупки билетов вы знаете только со слов посредников. На руках у вас билетов нет, подтвердить факт покупки вы не можете.

Courts confirm this interpretation of the law. Как-то один мужчина купил вместо лотерейного билета титульный лист от пачки билетов. Naturally, никакого выигрыша по нему быть не могло. Но мужчина решил, that the organizers deprived him of the opportunity to win the jackpot, — и обратился в суд.

В обоснование иска он указал, что не выиграл джекпот по вине организаторов лотереи, who sold him a piece of paper instead of a ticket. This violated his consumer rights: он же купил билет, а это товар. Поэтому пусть возместят стоимость билета — 50 Р, — а еще моральный ущерб за то, that he was deprived of the opportunity to win the jackpot. В размере самого джекпота, 4 960 000 Р.

The court decided, that violations really took place. Man wanted to buy a lottery ticket, а ему продали лист бумаги. therefore 50 Р, которые он потратил, need to return. А вот взыскивать моральный ущерб с организаторов лотереи суд не стал. Выигрыш — это не товар, which can be bought, а всего лишь вероятность. Поэтому закон о правах потребителей на такие ситуации не распространяется.
