Lottery billionaires. Non-fictional stories

Who among us would refuse to carry the honorary title of billionaire? The dream of getting rich is probably the most common one, regardless of the person's age and place of residence. True, most people want to get rich suddenly, with a minimum of effort.
In fact, this is quite understandable, because not everyone has a commercial streak, and taking into account the size of the average wage, you will have to live several lives to be able to save a billion. That is why desperate optimists are looking for alternative ways to become the owners of a billion. The most obvious and widespread of these is the lottery.

In many countries, such as Spain or the United States, the lottery is a favorite pastime. Most of the population plays the lottery in these strange ones, because each of them is sure that sooner or later he will be lucky. No one doubts the honesty and objectivity of the results: the organizers of the draws are the state.

Another indisputable proof of the honesty of the lotteries held is the fact that ordinary people become the winners, who acquire national fame, appear on the air of the main TV channels and on the pages of publications. They are happy to talk about the first emotions they experienced after they found out that they had won a large amount, and reflections on where to spend their winnings.

However, there are exceptions. For example, a California resident who won an incredible $ 1.5 billion in early 2016 chose to hide his name. Such prudence is quite understandable, because there are cases when lottery winners became victims of fraudsters. Therefore, if you are planning win a billion for the New Year, Be carefull.

The American won 1.5 billion not on New Year's, but a little later, but it was unlikely that the joy was less. The future winner bought his cherished Powerball lottery ticket in a regular store in the city of Chino Hills. By the way, according to the laws in force in this state, the point of sale where the winning ticket was sold receives a monetary reward. In the case of such a large win as 1.5 billion, the amount of the promotion was $ 1 million.

However, later there was information that two other lottery winners were discovered. Thus, the jackpot of $ 1.5 billion had to be divided among three, however, none of the winners expressed any regrets about this.

Another person who became a billionaire thanks to the lottery turned out to be a resident of Belarus Anatoly Kovalchuk. Several years ago, on New Year's Eve, an ordinary chauffeur ran into the store during work to buy some necessary little things. For change, on the advice of the saleswoman, I bought a lottery ticket. I got it and ... forgot it. What was his surprise when, having come to the post office on January 12 to check his ticket, Anatoly found out that he had won 1 billion Belarusian rubles.

Anatoly Grigorievich turned out to be a thorough and not emotional person. Having learned that he had won a billion for the New Year, he did not lose his head and managed his finances as efficiently as possible. I bought a car, not as expensive as I could afford, but reliable and comfortable, improved living conditions by moving out of the hostel and into my own two-room apartment, and left the rest of the money safe in case of unforeseen expenses. Surprisingly, after becoming a billionaire, Anatoly Grigorievich did not quit his job! As before, he gets up every day at 4 in the morning and goes to deliver goods to retail outlets. The only thing the Belarusian billionaire never saves on is his wife Alla.

When there is only a month and a half left until the New Year, Stoloto announces the print run with an increased prize fund of 1 billion rubles. As usual, the draw will be on 01/01/2019.

“Billion” is a special edition of the “Russian Lotto”. The Stoloto company will carry out the circulation according to exactly the same rules as the ordinary circulation, but the prize fund will be increased.

Such a circulation was already carried out by the company last year and was called the "Golden Billion".

How was the Golden Billion in 2018?

On 01.01.2018, a special drawing of the "Golden Billion" lottery was held live on the NTV channel. In the history of "Russian Lotto" it was 1212 circulation. You can buy a ticket until the evening of 12/31/2017 at ground-based points of sale and until the morning of 01/01/2018 on the official website of Stoloto.

Then 42.5 million coupons took part in the lottery. The prize fund being played was 2.125 billion rubles. The host pulled out 88 barrels during the draw, which suggests that the probability of winning ranged from 1 in 2.25 to 1 in 2.37, which is much higher than in ordinary draws.

The biggest wins of that tirade were:

• 250 million rubles - to the winner;
• 161 thousand - 62 winners;
• 40 winners received 1 country house each, which can be exchanged for 1 million rubles;
• 181 thousand - 55 winners.

The rest of the participants who were lucky enough to win received amounts from 101 to 131 rubles, their number exceeded 17 million.

What are the prizes in 2019?

This year in 1264 circulation, several types of rewards will also be offered:

• 100 prizes of 1 million rubles each;
• the main prize is 1 billion rubles;
• other cash incentives.

Those players who won in the first two rounds continue to play until the very end of the draw. The lucky ones who won in the third and other rounds end the game there.

Where to buy tickets?

Coupons can be purchased in different ways:

• at the Stoloto office or lottery machines;
• on the official portal "Stoloto";
• at land-based points of sale;
• via SMS;
• at the points of sale of partner stores: Pyaterochka, Russian Post, Rostelecom, etc.

The ticket price is 100 rubles. Its price does not change regardless of the point of purchase. Often, a ticket can only be purchased for the next draw, but in this case, as an exception, Stoloto allows you to purchase a coupon in advance, in a mobile application or on a website. To do this, when purchasing the coupon, you must select the circulation of 1264.

How to play?

The coupon has 2 fields, each with 15 numbers.

If you buy a ticket at land-based points of sale, then in this case the numbers will already be entered. When purchasing a coupon on the Internet, you can choose the numbers yourself.

What are the chances of winning?

There are several options:

• in 2018, 42,500,003 coupons were sold, and only one player took the main prize, this indicates a ratio of the chance of winning of 0.000002%;
• the winners that won the country house were 40 players, so the chance to win is 0.00009%;
• 55 people received 181,000 rubles each, the chance is 0.0001%;
• the chances of 62 players who received 161,000 rubles each amounted to 0.00012%;
• the chances of winning other prizes in the game are 40%, but in this case the winnings will be small, in the region of 101-131 rubles. If you subtract the cost of the ticket, then the net profit is a very small amount.

It should be noted that in the circulation of 01.01.2019 the chances of winning will be different - more or less, since in this case the coupons will be purchased by a different number of players.

Conclusion

This is the only New Year's draw of the "Russian Lotto", when the main prize will be drawn in any case, which means that one or several players will be able to receive a large sum.

The circulation is broadcast live on one of the federal channels, so you can independently follow it and celebrate the New Year.

All players who become winners will be able to receive their prizes within 6 months. To do this, you need to contact the Stoloto office. If the winnings are more than 100,000 rubles, then you will need to send your bank account details to the company's central office and the winnings will be transferred there.
