Are there fair lotteries in Russia?

Introduction

Let's start with the banal. There is a real TV show in Russia, lottery ticket related. She is on everyone's lips and needs no introduction. On the basis of this TV show, scammers have recently staked out a spot and started releasing scams. The idea is clear: a person receives a letter via email, or he sees ads on the social network, passes on it and randomly appears to be on the online broadcast of the anniversary drawing

If it grabs attention, then it will not be difficult to fool a person. Today's culprit is the Russian Lotto plagiarism site, which operates in a similar way.

But that's not all

In the previous article we wrote, how the crooks learned to benefit from this situation. In short, then the crooks have common subscriber bases, on which they send their scams. After a while, new sites are sent to the same subscribers, who are supposedly ready to return money from previous scams. For instance, you can read the most relevant information about "ReturnLoto.ru – payments of winnings and compensation for lotteries ".

Types of deception

Often buyers complain about, that they cannot win more than a thousand rubles, and discussions began to appear on the network about, that people should have won one hundred percent, but miraculously, luck bypassed them. Many began to suspect lottery owners of rigging the results.

Let's analyze several cases of deception.

1. Broadcast recording. Many began to celebrate, that the draw is scheduled, for example, on one date, and the results are known a few days before, and the results can be viewed before the broadcast recording on television in the open access on the Internet. Because of this, there are rumors, that the rally is going in the opposite direction, namely: first record the rally, then the tickets are printed.
2. Warranty. One of the tricky moves is not to give any guarantees of winning, and the complete transfer of responsibility for the lost money to the person, who bought the lottery.
3. Linden reviews. Because, that there have been a lot of discussions on the network about fraud by lottery organizers, a lot of negativity is created. Offices buy fake reviews on exchanges, to keep a person's hope of winning, who will read these reviews.
4. Crash in the program. it happens, we hear or read in the media about, that some retiree from the hinterland won millions in the lottery, or others like this story. In fact it is so, but when the winners start to figure out, how can they collect their winnings, then they are answered with the learned phrase "sorry, the program crashed, your ticket is not won ". Stories from real players also circulate on the network, who say the same phrase on duty and with a much smaller amount of winnings.
5. Winning percentage. How they try to assure us, that every second ticket is won, but is it really so? You can read stories from real people on the internet, who decided to experiment, having bought an impressive number of lottery tickets from newsstands. AND, as you can guess, nearly everyone was winning 7-10 ticket, and not particularly significant amounts.

Attention!

Don't take these pranks seriously, because where does the money go, there is more likely to be cheating.

Statistics of winnings on the lottery "Russian Lotto"

According to Wikipedia for 6 years old (1994-2009 g.g.) было выплачено более 57 million. rubles on winnings, tens of thousands of people became millionaires, more than 2 200 car, 200 apartments, and the total amount of funds paid out exceeded 15 billion rubles.

Tens of thousands became millionaires. Let it be 20 000 man, multiply by 1 million, we get 20 billion rubles. In this case, the total amount of winnings together with cars and apartments is 15 billion?? Does not converge.

Where is the information about the lucky ones in the newspapers, magazines, in the Internet, at least with fictitious names and without specifying the place of residence (for obvious reasons)? Little or no information. If you come across information on the Internet, then single and mainly for 2009-2012.

Maybe you know at least one familiar millionaire from the Russian LOTO, or friends of your friends know them? I'm sure on 100%, that the answer will be negative. Everyone knows the phrase - paper will endure everything. Conducted a drawing, made a report, everything is fine.

Cheating scheme

Why there is doubt about the fairness of lotteries? You can imagine how the draws are held. Let's admit, you are the lottery organizer. Printed 1000 tickets with certain combinations of numbers and sent for sale. Is anyone checking printed tickets. Of course not.

Wherein 10 they kept them clean. Day X is coming. By the way, the draw is not live. The mustachioed uncle drags the kegs, somewhere on 15 there are a lot of coincidences and who?

Of course I have, beloved. The number of the winning keg is shouted out, smart administrator enters this figure into the database of sold tickets, in those fields, Where 10 tickets. Another helper is waiting for processed data, and says - about a miracle, on such and such moves the winning of the 1st, 2-1st and 3rd rounds respectively.

How Gosloto works

A similar scheme of work in Gosloto. Never thought, why tickets are not accepted for 5-10 minutes before the draw, much earlier. After all, data processing is automated and the computer allows you to do this in a few minutes.

And the chest opens simply. Need to analyze, which numbers are least or not marked on tickets. Let it be numbers 6,20,24,27 (or 3 figures). Next comes the usual focus. After all, all balls are made of plastic and are hollow inside. A small metal plate is inserted into these numbers, and inside the lottery drum (rather lohotorona) there is a device with magnetic coils, making balls pop out at a certain time. You can't check the lottery drum, and no one will allow it to be done.

Then you can guess yourself - it is these numbers that win. The rest of the participants are close to victory or win something on trifles. And you can forget about the jackpot.

The rest of the lotteries operate according to the same principles with minor differences., sometimes resorting to misinformation. for instance, Russian Railways lotteries periodically write, that they cannot find a winner with some big winnings. Themselves, apparently, looking for. It's hard to find yourself.

Lately, or it seemed to me, people's interest in lotteries has slightly decreased. Did people really begin to understand, that they are simply inflated!

Draw games

Looking for an answer to a question: "Are there fair lotteries?»One truth should be understood - honesty is the prerogative of the organizer, not the game itself. If the founder is not clean on hand, then it's stupid to even dream of transparent rules and the process of the game.

When the founder is not the first day on the gambling market, then you can find out about his reputation very simply. It is enough to look at the players' reviews and read the comments on thematic forums. Conscience in this case acts as an optimal guarantee.

This is due to the fact, that the draw games are very cleverly arranged. It's very easy for the founder to manipulate the results., and the temptation to get all the money, coming from naive players, big enough.

Here the question immediately arises as to whether, how to get information about the lottery organizers.

The whole difficulty is, that it is not possible to obtain such information. First of all, founders can be a whole group, and they can change. Secondly, such information is not disclosed.

In drawing lotteries, you should rely only on the experience of other players and your personal observations..

This does not mean at all, that all drawn lottery games are fraudulent and not profitable. Just the opposite. Lotteries can give you a chance to win big. The main thing is to give preference to a game with a long history and a positive reputation among participants from all over the world.

We found one lottery, the honesty of which even we do not have to doubt. This is El Gordo. The reasons for the confidence, that the lottery is fair and reliable.

1. The history of the lottery game has 203 of the year.
2. In the total mass of tickets in this lottery, there are always winning.
3. Real Winners Stories.

One of these stories happened in a pub in Barcelona. The owner of the cafe gave visitors El Gordo with a ticket. What motives did he have, remains a mystery, but the result amazed the world community. В сумме клиенты этого бара выиграли больше 180 000 000 euros. Interesting then, that newly minted millionaires were below the poverty line before going to the pub.

1. Debt. El Gordo has a number of debt obligations. To pay prizes to the winners, the organizers of the game were forced to resort to partial privatization of the lottery. Now part of the lottery belongs to the government. For players, this is another plus, because there are additional guarantees.
2. Constant updates. El Gordo lottery is constantly transforming to create more comfortable conditions for players. So, eg, rule about, that you can only collect your winnings through 9 days, has been replaced by the rule, according to which the term for receiving the prize is reduced to 1 days.

All these facts point to the honesty and reliability of the El Gordo lottery..
