When a coin is tossed, the probability of getting "heads" or "tails" is 50 to 50. Of course, it does not follow from this that after the "heads" it will necessarily come up "tails". Nevertheless, it is absolutely certain that the more attempts are made, the closer the average will be to 50%. If, for example, a coin is tossed a hundred thousand times, then the falling "heads" and "tails" will be distributed approximately equally.
This also applies to lotteries. The chances of guessing this or that prize category are known, it is quite possible to see how they coincide with the mathematically expected.
Let's take lottery 6/45 from Gosloto
The probability of winning by category is as follows:
2 numbers - 1: 7
3 numbers - 1:45
4 numbers - 1: 733
5 numbers - 1:34 808
6 numbers - 1: 8 145 060
In lottery 6 out of 45, more than 1800 draws have already taken place, the base is quite sufficient for a correct comparison. So, from the 1st to the 1826th draw, the players bet 479 million combinations
68.4 million twos (479,000,000 / 7)
10.6 million triples (479,000,000 / 45)
653 thousand fours (479,000,000/733)
13,761 "five" (479,000,000 / 34,808)
And finally - 58 "sixes" (479,000,000 / 8,145,060)
Did it really happen?
Let's compare; during the same period, that is, from the 1st to 1826, the circulation fell:
77.7 million twos - 113%
11.5 million triplets - 108%
701 thousand "fours" - 107%
15,177 fives - 110%
But! This is not the fun part yet!
The most interesting thing is that the prize of the main category in numerical lotteries from Gosloto was not always so unattainable. For example, in the first few years, the six fell out regularly, within the statistically expected framework.
A few years ago, the six were more common:
During 2008-2011, players placed 6 out of 45 in the lottery - 115.5 million bets. "Six", during the same period, was guessed 12 times, that is, 9 625 000 combinations were obtained on average for each win. Or 118% of the statistically expected (8,145,060) result
What happened after 2011?
Between 2012 and 2016 (up to 1827 circulation inclusive), players placed 364 million bets. According to the laws of statistics, 44 "sixes" should have dropped out during this time. And there were only 17 of them during the same period. Almost three times (!!) less than it should be
Such a serious deviation, moreover, in only one category, means only one thing - the organizers are dishonest and manage the winning combination in their favor. Simply put - jackpots are artificially grown and outsourced
The number of bets (in million) it took to guess the six
(the last jack has not been guessed yet. 40 million bets have already accumulated ...)
As you can see in this diagram, for some time there have been no jacks series, when instead of the average value of 8.1 million bets, to guess the "six" it takes 30-40 million bets each. Which is several times (!!) higher than the calculated value. I'll tell you this - incredible, a hell of a lot.
If we return to the comparison of tossing a coin, then perhaps 80 thousand "heads" when tossing 100 thousand times will, I think, be a phenomenon of the same order. Since this simply cannot be, then there are only two explanations: either, something is wrong with the coin. Or, the thrower can control its flight and land accordingly, on the desired side ...
So in the numerical lotteries from Gosloto - the organizers violate the laws of statistics, as they simply simply control the falling out of the "winning" combination. The discrepancy only and exclusively on the prizes of the main category clearly shows this. It remains to add that it all started in 2011, after the cancellation of the live broadcast. And finally took hold in December 2013, after switching to RNG
Exactly the same fantastic discrepancies with statistics occur in the lottery 6 out of 36
The probability of winning by category is as follows:
2 numbers - 1: 8
3 numbers - 1:81
4 numbers - 1: 432
5 numbers - 1: 376 992
More than 4,000 draws have already been drawn in lottery 5 out of 36, the more interesting it is to look at the results
From the 1st to the 4184th draw, players placed 313 million bets
It can be expected that during this time it was guessed:
39.1 million twos (313,000,000 / 8)
3.8 million triples (313,000,000/81)
128 thousand fours (479,000,000 / 2,432)
And finally - 830 "fives" (479,000,000 / 376,992)
What do we really have?
37.2 million twos - 95%
3.8 million triplets - 100%
125.8 thousand "fours" - 98%
And - what do you think, how many "fives" turned out - 100%, 90%, or maybe 95%?
Ah, there you go, dear friends!
There were only five guesses for the entire period - 421
That is, again - two times less than the calculated one ...
once "fives were guessed much more often than now
By the way. If you look at the number of bets, for one "five" for another period, for example, from the same 2012, you can see that:
- the number of bets during this period amounted to 246 million
- on such a volume of bets, you should get 652 "fives"
In reality, during this time there were only 198 fives. Yet again - three times less than it should be.
P.s. Lottery 6 out of 45 is now luring players with another record jackpot - 242 million rubles. To everyone who wants to try their luck, I can only say one thing - this money is not prepared for you guys! The organizers most likely simply appropriate the record super prizes. And what is the point of participating in the lottery where it is already clear who will take the main prize?
P.p.s. Anyone who wants to can compare the results and independently, I post the file with the data in the public domain.
Can you win the lottery? What are the chances of guessing the right number of numbers and getting the jackpot or junior prize? The probability of winning is easy to calculate, anyone can do it on their own.
How is the probability of winning the lottery calculated?
Numerical lotteries are held according to certain formulas and the odds of each event (winning a particular category) are calculated mathematically. Moreover, this probability is calculated for any desired value, be it "5 out of 36", "6 out of 45", or "7 out of 49" and it does not change, since it depends only on the total number of numbers (balls, numbers) and how many of them must be guessed.
For example, for the lottery "5 out of 36" the probabilities are always the following
- guess two numbers - 1: 8
- guess three numbers - 1: 81
- guess four numbers - 1: 2 432
- guess five numbers - 1: 376 992
In other words, if you mark one combination (5 numbers) on the ticket, then the chance of guessing the "two" is only 1 out of 8. But it is much more difficult to catch the "five" numbers, this is already 1 chance out of 376 992. It is this (376 thousand) number all possible combinations exist in the lottery "5 out of 36" and it is guaranteed that you can win in it, if you only fill them all. True, the amount of the win in this case will not justify the investment: if a ticket costs 80 rubles, then marking all combinations will cost 30,159,360 rubles. The jackpot is usually much smaller.
In general, all the probabilities have long been known, all that remains is to find or calculate them independently, using the appropriate formulas.
For those who are too lazy to look, we give the probabilities of winning for the main Stoloto number lotteries - they are presented in this table
How many numbers need to be guessed | 5 out of 36 odds | 6 out of 45 odds | 7 out of 49 odds |
2 | 1:8 | 1:7 | |
3 | 1:81 | 1:45 | 1:22 |
4 | 1:2432 | 1:733 | 1:214 |
5 | 1:376 992 | 1:34 808 | 1:4751 |
6 | 1:8 145 060 | 1:292 179 | |
7 | 1:85 900 584 |
Necessary explanations
The lotto widget allows you to calculate the odds of winning for lotteries with one lottery drum (no bonus balls) or with two lotteries. You can also calculate the probabilities of unfolded bets.
Probability calculation for lotteries with one lottery drum (no bonus balls)
Only the first two fields are used, in which the numerical formula of the lottery, for example: - "5 out of 36", "6 out of 45", "7 out of 49". In principle, almost any lottery in the world can be calculated. There are only two restrictions: the first value must not exceed 30, and the second must not exceed 99.
If additional numbers * are not used in the lottery, then after selecting a numerical formula, it remains to press the calculate button and the result is ready. It doesn't matter what event you want to know the probability of what event - winning a jackpot, a prize of the second / third category, or just finding out whether it is difficult to guess 2-3 numbers from the required number - the result is calculated almost instantly!
Calculation example. The probability of guessing 5 out of 36 is 1 chance in 376 992
Examples. Probabilities of winning the main prize for lotteries:
"5 out of 36" (Gosloto, Russia) - 1: 376 922
"6 out of 45" (Gosloto, Russia; Saturday Lotto, Australia; Lotto, Austria) - 1: 8 145 060
“6 out of 49” (Sportloto, Russia; La Primitiva, Spain; Lotto 6/49, Canada) - 1:13 983 816
"6 out of 52" (Super Loto, Ukraine; Illinois Lotto, USA; Mega TOTO, Malaysia) - 1:20 358 520
“7 out of 49” (Gosloto, Russia; Lotto Max, Canada) - 1:85 900 584
Lotteries with two lottery drums (+ bonus ball)
If the lottery uses two lottery drums, then for the calculation it is necessary to fill in all 4 fields. The first two contain the numerical formula of the lottery (5 out of 36, 6 out of 45, etc.), the third and fourth fields indicate the number of bonus balls (x out of n). Important: this calculation can only be used for lotteries with two lottery drums. If the bonus ball is drawn from the main lottery drum, then the probability of winning this particular category is considered differently.
* Since when using two lottery drums, the chance of winning is calculated by multiplying the probabilities by each other, then for the correct calculation of lotteries with one lottery drum, the choice of an additional number by default costs 1 out of 1, that is, it is not taken into account.
Examples. Probabilities of winning the main prize for lotteries:
"5 out of 36 + 1 out of 4" (Gosloto, Russia) - 1: 1 507 978
"4 out of 20 + 4 out of 20" (Gosloto, Russia) - 1:23 474 025
“6 out of 42 + 1 out of 10” (Megalot, Ukraine) - 1:52 457 860
"5 out of 50 + 2 out of 10" (EuroJackpot) - 1:95 344 200
5 out of 69 + 1 out of 26 (US Powerball) - 1: 292 201 338
Calculation example. The chance of guessing 4 out of 20 twice (in two fields) is 1 in 23,474,025
The Gosloto 4 out of 20 lottery is a good illustration of the difficulty of playing with two lottery drums. The probability of guessing 4 numbers out of 20 in one field is quite sparing, the chance of this being 1 out of 4845. But when you have to guess both fields ... the probability is calculated by multiplying them. That is, in this case we multiply 4 845 by 4 845, which gives 23 474 025. So, the simplicity of this lottery is deceiving, it is more difficult to win the main prize in it than in "6 out of 45" or "6 out of 49"
Probability Calculation (Expanded Bets)
In this case, the probability of winning is considered when using expanded bets. For example - if in the lottery 6 out of 45, mark 8 numbers, then the probability of winning the main prize (6 out of 45) will be 1 chance in 290,895. Whether to use expanded bets is up to you. Taking into account that their cost turns out to be very high (in this case, 8 marked numbers are 28 options), it is worth knowing how this increases the chances of winning. Moreover, it is now quite simple to do it!
Calculation of the probability of winning (6 out of 45) using the example of an expanded bet (8 numbers are marked)
And other possibilities
Using our widget, you can calculate the probability of winning in bingo lotteries, for example, in "Russian Lotto". The main thing to consider is the number of moves allotted for the winning offensive. To make it clearer: for a long time in the "Russian Lotto" lottery, the jackpot could be won if 15 numbers ( in one field) closed in 15 moves... The probability of such an event is absolutely fantastic, 1 chance in 45 795 673 964 460 800 (you can check and get this value yourself). That is why, by the way, for many years no one could hit the jackpot in the "Russian Lotto" lottery, and it was distributed forcibly.
03/20/2016 the rules of the "Russian Lotto" lottery were changed. The jackpot can now be won if 15 numbers (out of 30) were closed in 15 moves... It turns out an analogue of an expanded bet - after all, 15 numbers are guessed out of 30 available! And this is a completely different probability:

And in conclusion, we present the probability of winning in lotteries using the bonus ball from the main lottery drum (our widget does not calculate such values). Of the most famous

The probability of just guessing all 6 numbers is 1 in 8145060. As you can see, this is almost impossible. But there are several simple ways to choose the necessary numbers and get, though not the maximum, but the win.
Lottery Tricks 6/45
- Write down all the drawn numbers from the last 8 - 10 draws and find those that come across the maximum number of times. By choosing the same numbers, you will approximate the probability of your winning.
- In advance, on a blank sheet of paper, write down the numbers that you want to cross out and only then pick up the ticket to fill out. Choosing combinations immediately on the ticket itself, you will start from the visual picture, and not from the sixth sense and intuition.
- As the statistics show, you can win both by your personal "system" and by "typing". But in any case, it is worth considering such a feature that combinations of numbers, as a rule, do not repeat, especially for the last 2 - 3 games. Also, 2 or 3 numbers in a row almost never hit, more often it turns out inconsistency.
- All 45 numbers can be divided into 3 groups: from 1 to 15, from 15 to 30 and from 30 to 45. And choose the maximum number or most of the numbers from one group. Some circulations fit exactly this way. Alternatively, you can choose most of the numbers in one of these groups, and scatter the rest over the rest of the numbers.
Before starting the game, it is important to decide on the amount that you are willing to spend without harming the family budget. You need to be ready to lose it so as not to worry in the future if you fail. Only then can you relax and enjoy the game.
