How you can increase your chances of winning?
As with many other lotteries, the main recipe for success looks trite: more different tickets per draw increases the overall chances of success.
But there are some nuances here too.. If you buy many tickets at one time, then it is advisable to view them for the presence of different numbers. After all, the point of buying multiple tickets – different combinations of numbers, what is one of the main criteria in the Russian Lotto, increasing the chance of ultimate success.
Buying online can eliminate the need to track different numbers, because in e-tickets you can make your own winning combinations.
Also, it is worth carefully watching the announcements of editions, advertising on TV and on the website, and special ticketing. So, in some draws the draws may be extended, and will remain in the bag 3 or even 2 barrel. The chances of becoming the winner of such a draw are always much greater, than in regular circulation.
Even after the unsuccessful end of the main draw, do not forget to check the ticket for winning in the additional game "Cubicle". If the remaining kegs match the numbers on one of your ticket cards, you can also win a good amount.
How to fill out a ticket?
Regardless of the carrier, any of the tickets contains two fields. Each of them contains 15 digits between 1 and 90. They are located in the cells in a completely random order.. Since. rules apply for the lottery, on which the old Russian game "Lotto" was held, here the participants themselves cannot initially choose the winning numbers. The player's task is reduced only to the choice of the ticket itself, and combinations of numbers are already pre-printed on the cards.
But, when buying electronic coupons, the organizer took care of those, who counts, that certain numbers can bring them good luck in a particular circulation. The organizer's website provides a special service "Favorite numbers". Its use makes it possible to independently select the necessary numbers and enter them into the card of the purchased electronic ticket. You can choose any number of eigenvalues. Someone contributes a favorite number, lucky (number on the jersey of your favorite football player, house number or numbers from phone number), and fills the rest randomly, and someone is trying to guess whole combinations of winning numbers. No restrictions in this regard, only your imagination and luck!

How to play the lottery?
Each of the draws, passing weekly is carried out according to uniform rules.
All tickets are split into two cards, containing three lines with different numbers.
The draw is divided into three main rounds:
The winning tickets in the number one round are the tickets, Where 5 numbers, located in one line (regardless of its location) earlier than others will coincide with the numbers of those game kegs, which the host or his guests will pull out of the bag.
Then the fields come into play, into which lottery tickets are divided. To become the winner of the second round, any of these fields must be filled in with winning numbers (there are only two of them)
And it's important to do it earlier., than all other players, participating in the draw. There is also a drawing of the main prize of each of the draws - the jackpot
That player can become its owner, who has everything 15 the first dropped kegs will be exactly the same, as well as located in the same field.
In the third and all other rounds, the rules are simplified as much as possible.. Here, we already need a match with the dropped kegs of all 30 numbers on the ticket. With each subsequent round, the number of winning tickets increases, and the amount of the win decreases. The earlier everything 30 numbers coincide with the numbers of the dropped kegs - the more the winning amount will be.
It should be noted, that the largest monetary and material gains (because the lottery is not only about money) can be obtained in the first and second round. Besides, those tickets, who became the winners of these parts can continue to fight in the drawing, but after winning the round number 3, the ticket no longer participates in the distribution of the prize pool.
Also, at the end of the draw, another consolation drawing is held. It's called "Kubyshka". It plays tickets, who did not become winners of the main draw. If they have all the numbers, who remained in the bag after graduation, and they are located in the same playing field, consolation cash prizes await their owners.

When sales close
Closing sales is a kind of deadline. This particular time, after which all purchased tickets are automatically transferred to the next draw. To avoid errors, all purchased tickets are recorded using an automated computer system., which, when the specified time comes, closes the sale of tickets for the next circulation.
For Russian Lotto draws, the sale closes every Saturday, exactly at 17-20 by Moscow time. In some cases, the deadline can be shifted and rescheduled, the organizer always informs the players about such changes in advance.
How to collect your winnings?
Most often, the money won can be collected at points of sale. However, here it is worth paying attention to the limits for specific places. Such information is available on a special interactive map on the distributor's website..
Any winnings over 600 thousand rubles are processed by bank transfer, after preliminary agreement of the details at the Stoloto lottery center.
Besides, it is possible to receive the won amount to the player's bank account. In this case, all documents must be sent to the Stoloto office in advance. (their full list is indicated in the corresponding section of the organizer's website).
Ticket payments, winners start at least one day after the publication of the official results of the next draw. You can apply to receive your winnings within six months after the draw.
Is it possible to win?
Big Winning Chances, especially in the first two rounds, or even more so, the jackpot draw cannot be called large. Although, based on the results of almost every print run, the organizers report figures from about 30 to 50% winning tickets out of the total number of sold, most of these statistics are related to wins in recent rounds, where the winning amount is 100-200 rubles and barely allows you to cover the cost of purchased tickets. It turns out, what even a purchase 10 tickets and justification of statistics in 40% a win with such small amounts of this very win is unlikely to cover even half of the money, spent on purchasing these tickets.
