How to win the Super Lotto jackpot: statistics and expert advice

Lotto in culture

В рассказе А. P. Чехова «Детвора» в лото играют оставшиеся вечером без присмотра дети: 2 brother, 2 sisters and son of the cook. Schoolboy Vasya also wanted to "enter" their game, but because of that, that instead of the agreed rate in 1 he put a penny in a ruble, children refused to take him into play.

In Soviet times, the game became a symbol of philistinism, "Former", disenfranchised: in the film "Light over Russia" (1947) character Optimist (performed by Rostislav Plyatt) exclaims: “Let's ... play loto! Нас придут забирать — а мы сидим и играем в лото!».

Comparison of Super Lotto with other famous lotteries.

Attentive
the reader-player will notice, that the chances of winning the top prize are slim. Everything
6 numbers are really hard to guess. On the other hand, there are no bonus
balls, multipliers, which affect the ticket price and cut the odds even more.
One simple combination is enough, to take part in the race for big
money.

Connoisseurs, as
is always, sweep, that in developed countries there are more jackpots, pluck them more often and,
generally, we are not there and therefore everything is better. Well, first look at
plate.

And then take
taking into account exchange rates and the number of players, who constantly buy tickets
around the world. This is common math - more players, that is, involved
combinations, produces significantly more wins of different
categories

Rules of the game

The map has three rows and nine columns. 15 random numbers by 5 in a row; the tens digit corresponds to the left column number, counting from scratch; 90 is placed in the last column. The game is, that the players close the numbers on the cards, from 1 to 90, marked on special counters (more often wooden or plastic barrels). One of the participants in the game (usually in turn in each round) calls numbers, which he reads on the chips taken from the bag. Player wins, which will cover all numbers before either (by agreement) one or more horizontal rows on your card. In the latter case, the gain, depending on the closed row, may be only half a horse or not at all, just completing the current lap and starting the next: with the transfer of the right to "call out" to the next player and the need to do everything (possibly, except for the winner) new bets at stake. Bets are usually made "on each card" with the player's ability to play on several cards.

Many numbers on barrels also have popular names., as traditional for a given number (eg 12 - dozen, 13 - Baker's dozen), and lotto-specific:

Variations

There are different lotto variations, when the cards have other symbols. Lotto becomes a didactic game for teaching junior high school students about the rules of the road, development of combinatorial thinking in secondary school students

Rules of the game

There are three types of lotto: simple, short and three by three. There are some differences in the rules of each game. The goal is one - the first of all participants to close the card or line with barrels with the corresponding numbers.

Simple

All players choose three cards and lay them in front of them. The host pours the kegs into a bag, mixes them. Then he pulls out and announces the numbers indicated on them. Players must cover the announced numbers on their cards. The one, who fills one line with chips, pronounces the word combination "apartment" loudly. This is how he notifies other players of the impending victory.. If he covers all the cells with numbers on one card, the game is over.

A short

Participants choose one card with playing fields. The one wins, who will only close one line. This game is a shortened version of the simple lotto. It is designed for the maximum number of players (24 human).

"Three on three"

This is the most gambling type of lotto game. Various items or money are at stake. The bottom line is, that cards are bought for money. The number of purchased cardboard cards is not limited. Funds are in the middle of the gambling table in a common bank. This is the winner's future win.

The leader takes turns taking out the kegs and announces the numbers. With each such action, the contents of the bag are thoroughly mixed. When the top row is closed, the players double the bet. The one, who will be the first to fill in the middle column, has the right to withdraw a third of the amount from the bank. The rest report the money to the general cashier and continue. Player wins, filled the bottom number line.
