What lotteries are
Today, Russians are offered a choice of 16 national lotteries. They can be run or instant. With the instant lottery, the easiest way is here, information about the win is available immediately after buying a ticket, however, the amounts are traditionally small, a maximum of several million.
To participate in the draw lottery, you need to buy a printing coupon or an electronic ticket, which bear the date of the draw and the number of the draw. Winnings are determined by a lottery drum or random number generator. Some lotteries organize draws live on TV channels or on the Internet.
At the same time, lottery lotteries can also be different - in some players it is suggested to choose a numerical sequence for participation in the drawing, while others only provide the opportunity to choose a ticket with ready-made numbers. Traditionally, lotteries with open playing fields are the most popular.
The cost of tickets varies from 20 to 200 rubles, and the jackpot can reach a billion rubles. Only people over 18 can participate in the lottery; the seller of lottery tickets even has the right to demand a passport from the buyer.
How lotteries work
Private lotteries have not been held in Russia since July 1, 2014. To put things in order, the state limited the number of organizers of the draws, which totaled more than 300. The Ministry of Sports and the Ministry of Finance were given the right to organize lotteries, and regional and municipal lotteries were simply banned.
Government departments at special contests selected lottery operators - they were Sportloto and State Sports Lotteries. Finally, the operators chose a distributor - Stoloto, later renamed Center. It is Stoloto that today is the monopoly distributor of lotteries in Russia.
The Stoloto brand belongs to businessman Armen Sargsyan, who is also considered the beneficiary of Sportloto and State Sports Lotteries. It was his company that the government was entrusted with the obligation to hold draws, give out prizes, and deduct 50% of the profit to the state. 안전놀이터
