Героиня давно хотела закончить ремонт в квартире. Теперь такая возможность у нее есть: recently a woman won 7842 ruble. В лотерею она играла около двух месяцев:
— За время игры я потратила 500 rubles. Но средства возвращались: иногда я выигрывала 100 rubles, sometimes 500. Вообще я не азартный человек, но в этой лотерее увлек процесс.
В то, that she won a large sum, женщина поверила не сразу.
— Мне никогда не везло, а тут по-крупному. Мама тоже не верила до тех пор, пока я не показала реальные деньги, — вспоминает женщина.

Благодаря выигрышу Анна погасила рассрочку и часть кредита, который брала на ремонт. На оставшиеся средства хочет купить мебель и доделать кухню. В лотерею она продолжает играть, хотя даже не представляет себе, на что потратит еще один выигрыш.
Delivered to the conveyor
The goals sorted out. What does the technology look like?? Every day at the printing enterprises of the country, having a special permit from the Department of State Marks of the Ministry of Finance for the production of strict reporting forms, print thousands of lottery tickets. In the Belarusian House of Press, we looked, how is this process hidden from the view of an ordinary person. After all, tickets - like passports - are made in a "regime" environment.
The first stage is the development of the design and the issuance of the original layout. Further on special equipment, purchased recently, including for the "lottery" purposes, printing plates are being manufactured.
The seal itself: until we get a ticket, but just "blanks", sheets of paper, non-material.
The blank takes on "meaning" in the personification department. Here, data on the size of the winnings is applied to the ticket (talking about instant lotteries), then cover the blanks with special paint.
- Remove sheets only from a distance, — командуют нашему фотокору печатники.
Shop employees are unhappy people! A few moments, until the paint hid the secret, they possess the most valuable information about, where is the car "hidden", where is the apartment. Naturally, we asked, is it realistic in practice to mark a winning ticket and then track its path. Experts say, that even in theory this is impossible. All tickets are sent from the printing house to the warehouse "BL", among thousands of others scatter across the country. And the shop workers are responsible for non-disclosure.
Finally, in the primary control department, tickets are scanned - this procedure is repeated in the office of "BC". Here the lottery tickets are counted again and then determined, where and how many to send them. The decision is made on the basis of monitoring sales. For instance, Vash Lotto is most actively played in Minsk, in second place - Gomel and Gomel region, then Vitebsk, Mogilev. Western regions - Grodno and Brest - close the list.
Tickets are delivered not in cashier cars, but there is no point in "robbing" the lottery stagecoaches - all the forms are marked, in case of loss, they will be immediately excluded from the drawing.
What do they do with tickets, which failed to sell? 10-20% returned to head office, re-scanned, go to destruction. How many tickets befell such a fate, do not speak - trade secret.
Rules of the game "Your Lotto"
The rules of "Your Lotto" are quite simple, therefore absolutely everyone can play here. Statistics show, what the 2015 more than a year has been won 325 thousand valuable prizes, which amounted to almost 18 billion rubles. Over the years of the lottery's existence, won three jackpots, the total amount exceeded 120 million rubles.
За игровую историю лотереи организаторы провели более 700 circulation, in which it was played 33 million prizes. Their total cost exceeds 310 billion rubles. Besides, was played 125 apartments, what, in money terms, equates to 25 billion rubles. Except apartments, cars were also raffled. At the moment there are 412 such lucky ones. Prizes in the form of gold and diamonds were also raffled off.
As mentioned above, one game ticket of this loto gives to the participant 9 chances of winning. Statistics show, that every fourth ticket can win at least some small prize.
Usually, lottery organizers issue paired tickets, which are called "two". They differ among themselves by the category, although the number is the same. Such "deuces" give more chances of winning, therefore, it is much more interesting for participants to play with these tickets. Moreover, each player can purchase one ticket., because he can also bring a prize in the form of a valuable prize.
Of the main differences between "Your Lotto" and Russian lotteries, I would like to highlight the fact, that in all draws only those tickets are raffled, which were sold. The rest are simply destroyed by the organizers.. On each ticket you can see two tables, each of which has 15 numbers. All tickets differ from each other by a set of digital combinations.
There is a field on the side of the ticket, designed for instant play. Here you can see the inscription "Erase here". By paying your ticket, each participant has the right to immediately erase the protective layer. There may be a number underneath, meaning a small cash prize. Also, an invitation to the studio may be hidden under the protective coating, where is the drawing of diamonds. If you failed to win the instant game, no need to be upset, because the ticket continues to take part in the main drawing.
There are three numbers at the bottom of the ticket, which are intended for the additional game "A moment of luck". This rally is after the main game.. As it should be, the purchased ticket only participates in that drawing, which is indicated on it. The reverse side of the game ticket allows each player to carefully read the rules of the game.
Quite often, the organizers hold additional holiday raffles. There is a letter under the protective layer. Each ticket contains only one letter. The player needs to collect a certain word from them.
The main draw for your lotto
The main game of this lottery is played in several stages.. Moreover, each of them gives the opportunity to win a certain prize. Each tour has its own conditions, which the participant should read.
So, the initial round involves players crossing out numbers. Crossed out a line of five numbers, the player proceeds to the next round. In the second round plays 15 numbers, which are in the ticket tables. Lucky ones, which completely fill one of the tables, go further. In the third round, the participant must fill in all 30 numbers, which are in both tables. In this case, you need to cross out all the numbers before that move., which is initially announced by the host.
All conducted draws give an opportunity to any participant to become the owner of the jackpot. That player becomes the owner of the main prize, who will cross out everything before everyone else 30 numbers, located in two tables of the game ticket. In the absence of such a lucky one, the jackpot increases and is carried over to the next drawing.
In addition to the main cash prize, players have the opportunity to win another prize - a car. Here such a prize is called "Jeep-pot". That player will own the car, who will cross out everything on his ticket 15 numbers of one table per 15 during the game.
"Your Lotto" holds its draws every week. Should be noted, that the fairness of the game is closely monitored by the circulation commission. All data, dropped out during the drawing, are recorded. After, how the rally ends on a certain move, the host without fail takes out unplayed barrels, for the commission to record their presence in the bag. At the same time, the audience is also convinced of the honesty of the drawing.. Besides, the remaining numbers are used for the next game "A moment of luck".
"A moment of luck"
This additional round takes place after the main draw. Only those tickets can take part in it, who were left without a win in the main game
There are three numbers worth paying attention here, at the bottom of the ticket. An additional prize is awarded if, when these numbers coincide with the numbers of unplayed kegs
In the absence of a winner on this round, the next additional drawing "Lucky Number" is held.
"Lucky Number"
On this tour, the numbers of kegs still play, which remained in the bag. Your card number must match these numbers. The match may not only be complete, but also partial. Here the main condition is that, that the numbers in the ticket number must be in that sequence, in which the corresponding numbers were extracted from the bag.
«Двенадцать стульев»
This is another additional draw, which the participants really like. This tour is for those, who found the inscription "Drawing of diamonds in the studio" under the protective layer. Need to know, that if such an inscription is found, it is necessary to contact the organizers one day before the drawing. Thanks to this, they register players in advance., who should arrive at the studio. The participant must be in the studio an hour before the start of the drawing. This is necessary for, so that organizers know, how many people will take part in the game.
It is important to know, what you need to take with you to the studio. For instance, if you do not have a game ticket with you, no passport, you behave inappropriately or are in a state of intoxication, the organizers may not allow the player to participate
In case of refusal, the player is provided with a special act, which indicates all the reasons for not allowing the player.
The player must provide his ticket directly in the studio., which flaunts the inscription "Drawing of diamonds in the studio". After that, a special sheet is filled in, in which all passport details of the participant are noted. The organizers put a stamp on the ticket, which means that it meets all the rules. Upon registration, the player is assigned a number, which defines his place in the studio.
The organizers determine in advance the prize fund of such a drawing. At the same time, it fits into the lining of one of the twelve chairs., in the studio. This all happens with the circulation commission, which monitors the fairness of the draw. In this case, a special act is drawn up.
Now the player needs to choose a chair, wherein, in his opinion, hidden prize. It happens sometimes, that in this game the prize cannot be played. In this case, it is carried over to the next game.. At the discretion of the organizers, it may increase.

What does math have to do with it?
While trucks deliver lottery tickets across the country, we are trying to understand, how does science relate to the production cycle. The organizers declare: to build a mathematical model of the lottery, they used the developments of the Research Institute of Applied Problems of Mathematics and Informatics and the employees of the FPMI of the Belarusian State University.
- We want to do, let's say, children's lottery, — приводит пример начальник профильного отдела «БЛ» Геннадий Шабловский. — Определяемся с количеством и типом игр. Then you need to understand, how to distribute winnings. If the entire prize fund is combined into one ticket, it will be an excellent prize of one billion rubles, and the rest will have nothing left. Hardly anyone wants to play such a lottery. Means, there should be a lot of winnings, among them should be large (like a car, apartments, computer, mountain bike) and smaller prizes. Actually, this distribution is the math.
TV lotteries like Your Lotto are simple. Ticket numbers are randomly distributed based on a few basic rules. There can be no two identical tickets, all numbers must meet evenly, etc.. d.
- Some people take a long time to choose tickets before buying, looking for more suitable. There is some reason for this? — задаем мы очевидный вопрос.
- Absolutely no. Well, except that someone has favorite numbers, which bring him good luck, — говорит Геннадий Шабловский.
- So, it is impossible to calculate the probability of winning?
- We are familiar with lottery participants, who led the bases on "Sportloto" since Soviet times. What's the point of this? There is a law of large numbers: if you throw a coin a billion times, then, in theory half a billion, there must be an eagle, half a billion - tails. But in practice it may be 495 million on 505. There is almost no difference in percentage terms, and in absolute values the difference in 10 million. No, nothing can be calculated, otherwise it wouldn't be a lottery. As for the lottery "Your Lotto", sure, you can try to define, barrels with which numbers most often remain in the bag at the end of the rally. But even here you shouldn't believe in coincidences..
Every fourth ticket, lottery organizers declare in their advertisements, is a winning. More 15 thousand. for all the time, the chief mathematician of "BL" honestly admits, he never received. Стоимость убытков при этом не считал. «20 лет назад я бросил курить. Save money on cigarettes - spend on lotteries. I made a lot of money or not? In health has already won unambiguously, and I continue to play the lottery ".
