How it was last year
Of course, we don't have such a long tradition. (like in Spain), but the drawing of a billion takes place a second time. Стоит вспомнить детали прошлого розыгрыша.
31 December 2016 the first draw of the new lottery from Stoloto - "4 out of 20". It was in her that a billion was promised as a possible (individual) winnings. The organizers' idea worked great, и на первый тираж получилось продать 4,4 million tickets!
Someone got a billion? Alas, no. Despite, that a lot of people participated, the chances of winning the main prize in the new lottery were slim, only 1 of 23 474 025. Therefore, it is not surprising that, that no one could win the main prize (For reference. шансы выиграть джекпот в лотерее «Русское лото» составляют 1 of 295 232 118. It's harder, чем в упомянутой 4 of 20)
But, despite this - the organizers considered their promise fulfilled. They promised to play a billion? Promised. And the billion meant the total prize fund of all New Year's lotteries. In fact, we managed to distribute even more, the only question is what the prizes were
Russian lotto, last New Year's edition
In circulation № 1160, which passed 31 December 2016, participated 7 844 348 tickets, the prize fund of the drawing was 392 217 400 rubles. A plus, accumulated by that time jackpot. Everything, like this time, generally. How many people won really big prizes?
maybe, you will be surprised, but among the major prizes were only 44 country houses, the cost of each 700 00 rubles. And all! The rest of the participants in the drawing received a penny. Nearly 90% the prize fund was spent on prizes less 150 rubles! At a ticket price 100 rubles. The most massive win - 111 rubles, the organizers spent on it 129 million rubles, almost a third of the prize pool!
But every second ticket wins, to her.
clear, что на мелкие выигрыши всегда уходит значительная часть призового фонда – их просто много. But, you can distribute in different ways. В лотерее «Русское лото» на крупные призы направляется почему-то лишь 5-10% prize fund. AND, in the same Spain - 35% of the prize fund goes to the winnings of the 1st (4 million) and 2nd category (1,25 million faith). That is why in Spain the New Year's drawing is a traditional holiday. And many winners (people win by families, even whole cities) go out and celebrate their win.
And we have? Millions of people go out to celebrate the win 111 rubles? At a ticket price 100 rubles. And even if more than one ticket was bought, and 5-10. This and that. To all other, people before this are pumped with advertising for several months - a billion, billion, billion!
clear, что в результате люди чувствуют себя обманутыми. Unclear, true, why are they willing to be deceived a second or third time. The last New Year's drawing has already demonstrated that, what the promised billion turns out to be. Apparently belief in a miracle is still stronger.
