The minimum lottery combination is 4 numbers in the range from 1 to 20 (in the first field) + 4 numbers from 1 to 20 (in the second field). Winning combinations are those in which at least two numbers match in the corresponding field. If you matched 4 numbers in the first field and 4 numbers in the second - you get a super prize. The lottery's guaranteed super prize is the largest to date. In total, the lottery has 21 winning categories. In the lottery increased prize fund- 67% of revenue.

All draws are broadcast live on the stoloto.ru website - anyone can come to the center and see the process with their own eyes. Free admission.

Someone thinks that in order to win the lottery you need to be an excellent mathematician and be able to calculate the result, while someone thinks that you can win the lottery only with luck.

Among the Russian people you can meet both. The most popular gambling game is the state lottery "Gosloto" 4 out of 20 ".

The Gosloto 4 out of 20 lottery is one of the most popular state draw games in our country, with a high chance of winning. The amount of the fund is formed from 67% of the cost of all tickets purchased, and this is not a small amount within the country.

The main feature of this game is that the playing field is divided into two parts. At the same time, each contains numbers from 1 to 20. In order to become the owner of the main prize, you need to guess 4 numbers in each part playing field. The size of the super prize accumulates from draw to draw if no one wins it in the current game.

There are also 12 winning categories with different values. For example, in the 7th category, you need to guess 3 numbers in the first part of the field and 2 numbers in the second part, or vice versa, while the winnings will be 7.36% of the prize fund.

Conclusion

The lottery is one of the gambling Some people are lucky and some not so much. At the same time, the Gosloto 4 out of 20 game gives high chances of winning.

In order to achieve results, you need to play more and believe in luck and victory, while not getting upset and not getting depressed in case of defeat.

The Random Number Generator for Lottery Tickets is provided free of charge on an "as is" basis. The developer does not bear any responsibility for the material and non-material losses of the users of the script. You may use this service at your own risk. However, something, but you definitely don’t take risks :-).

Random numbers for online lottery tickets

This software (PRNG in JS) is a pseudo-random number generator implemented with the capabilities of the Javascript programming language. The generator produces a uniform distribution of random numbers.

This allows the lottery company to beat out a “wedge with a wedge” on an evenly distributed RNG from a lottery company to respond with random numbers with a uniform distribution. This approach eliminates the subjectivity of the player, since people have certain preferences in choosing numbers and numbers (Birthdays of relatives, memorable dates, years, etc.), which affect the selection of numbers manually.

Free tool helps players match random numbers for lotteries. The random number generator script has a set of preset modes for Gosloto 5 out of 36, 6 out of 45, 7 out of 49, 4 out of 20, Sportloto 6 out of 49. You can choose a random number generation mode with free settings for other lottery options.

Lottery winning predictions

A random number generator with a uniform distribution can serve as a horoscope for the lottery, however, the probability that the forecast will come true is low. But still, using a random number generator has a good chance of winning compared to many other lottery game strategies and additionally frees you from the pain of choosing lucky numbers and combinations. For my part, I do not advise you to succumb to the temptation and buy paid forecasts, it is better to spend this money on a textbook on combinatorics. You can learn a lot of interesting things from it, for example, the probability of winning the jackpot in Gosloto is 5 out of 36 1 to 376 992 . And the probability of getting the minimum prize by guessing 2 numbers is 1 to 8 . The forecast based on our RNG has the same winning probabilities.

On the Internet, there are requests for random numbers for the lottery, taking into account past draws. But provided that the lottery uses RNG with a uniform distribution and the probability of getting one or another combination does not depend on the draw to draw, then it is pointless to try to take into account the results of past draws. And this is quite logical, since it is not profitable for lottery companies to allow participants to increase the probability of their winning by simple methods.

There is often talk that lottery organizers rig the results. But in fact, this makes no sense, even, on the contrary, if lottery companies influenced the results of the lottery, then it would be possible to find a winning strategy, but so far no one has succeeded. Therefore, it is very beneficial for lottery organizers that the balls fall out with a uniform probability. By the way, the estimated return of the lottery 5 out of 36 is 34.7%. Thus, the lottery company has 65.3% of the proceeds from ticket sales, part of the funds (usually half) is deducted for the formation of the jackpot, the rest of the money goes to organizational expenses, advertising and the company's net profit. The circulation statistics confirm these figures perfectly.

Hence the conclusion - do not buy meaningless forecasts, use free generator random numbers, take care of your nerves. Let our random numbers be for you lucky numbers. Good mood and good day!

Hello!

My name is Ivan Melnikov! I am a graduate of the NTU "KhPI", Faculty of Engineering and Physics, specialty "Applied Mathematics", a happy family man and just a fan of games of chance. Since childhood, I have been fond of lotteries. I've always been interested in what laws fall out certain balls. Since the age of 10, I have been recording lottery results and then analyzing the data.

Sincerely,

Ivan Melnikov.

1. Mathematical odds of winning

   • Simple calculation with factorials

The most common lotteries in the world are luck games like "5 out of 36" and "6 out of 45". Calculate the chance of winning the lottery trite according to probability theory.

An example of calculating the possibility of obtaining a jackpot in the 5 out of 36 lottery:

It is necessary to divide the number of free cells by the number of possible combinations. That is, the first digit can be chosen from 36, the second from 35, the third from 34, and so on.

Therefore, here is the formula:

Number of possible combinations in a 5 out of 36 lottery = (36*35*34*33*32) / (1*2*3*4*5) = 376,992

The chance of winning is 1 in almost 400,000.

Let's do the same for the 6 to 45 lottery.

Number of possible combinations = "6 out of 45" = (45*44*43*42*41*40) / (1*2*3*4*5*6) = 9,774,072.

Accordingly, the chance of winning is almost 1 in 10 million.

• A bit about probability theory

According to the long-known theory, each ball in each next search has an absolutely equal chance of falling out compared to others.

But not everything is so simple, even according to the theory of probability. Let's take a closer look at the example of tossing a coin. The first time we hit heads, then the next time the probability of tails falling out is much higher. If the eagle fell out again, then next time we expect tails with even greater probability.

With the balls coming out of the lottery machines, the story is approximately the same, but somewhat more complicated and with a more significant number of variables. If one ball fell out 3 times, and the other - 10, then the probability of the first ball falling out will be higher than that of the second. It is worth noting that this law diligently violate the organizers of some lotteries, which change the lottery drums from time to time. In each new lottery drum, a new sequence appears.

Some other organizers use a separate lottery drum for each ball. Thus, it is necessary to calculate the probability of falling out of each ball in each individual lottery machine. On the one hand, this makes the task a little easier, on the other hand, it complicates it.

But this is just a theory of probability, which, as it turned out, does not really work. Let's see what are the secrets based on dry science and statistics accumulated over decades.

1. Why doesn't probability theory work?

   • Non-ideal conditions

The first thing worth talking about is the calibration of loto drums. None of the lottery drums are perfectly calibrated.

The second caveat is that the diameters of the lottery balls are also not the same. Even the slightest difference of millimeters plays a role in the frequency of falling out of one or another ball.

The third detail is the different weight of the balls. Again, the difference may not seem significant at all, but it also affects the statistics, moreover, significantly.

• Sum of winning numbers

If we consider the statistics of the numbers that won the lottery like "6 out of 45", we can see interesting fact: The sum of the numbers that players have bet on varies between 126 and 167.

The sum of winning lottery numbers for "5 out of 36" is a slightly different story. Here the winning numbers add up to 83-106.

• Even or odd?

What do you think are the most common numbers in winning tickets? Even? Odd? I will tell you with full confidence that in the lotteries "6 out of 45" these numbers are equally divided.

But what about "5 out of 36"? After all, you need to choose only 5 balls, even and odd cannot be an equal number. So. After analyzing the results of lotteries of this type over the past four decades, I can say that it is insignificant, but still more often, in winning combinations odd numbers appear. Especially those that contain the number 6 or 9. For example, 19, 29, 39, 69 and so on.

• Popular number groups

For a lottery like “6 to 45”, we conditionally divide the numbers into 2 groups - from 1 to 22 and from 23 to 45. It should be noted that in the winning tickets the ratio of numbers belonging to the group is 2 to 4. That is, either the ticket will have 2 numbers from the group from 1 to 22 and 4 numbers from the group from 23 to 45 or vice versa (4 numbers from the first group and 2 from the second).

I came to a similar conclusion when analyzing lottery statistics like "5 out of 36". Only in this case groups are broken up a little differently. Let's designate the first group, which includes numbers from 1 to 17, and the second - the one where the remaining numbers from 18 to 35 are placed. The ratio of numbers from the first group to the second in winning combinations in 48% of cases is 3 to 2, and in 52 % of cases - on the contrary, 2 to 3.

• Should I bet on numbers from past draws?

It has been proven that in 86% of cases, the number that was already in previous draws is repeated in the new draw. Therefore, it is simply necessary to follow the draws of the lottery you are interested in.

• consecutive numbers. To choose or not to choose?

The chance of getting 3 consecutive numbers at once is very low, less than 0.09%. And if you want to bet on 5 or 6 consecutive numbers at once, there is practically no chance. So choose different numbers.

• Numbers with a single step: win or lose?

You should not bet on numbers that go in the same sequence. For example, it is definitely not necessary to choose step 2 and make a bet with this step. 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 is definitely a losing combination.

• More than one ticket: yes or no?

It is better to play once every 10 weeks for 10 tickets than once a week for one. Also play in groups. You can win a big cash prize and share it among several people.

1. World Lottery Statistics

   • Mega millions

One of the most popular lotteries in the world was carried out according to the following principle: you must choose 5 numbers out of 56, as well as 1 out of 46 for the so-called golden ball.

For 5 guessed balls and 1 correctly named golden lucky one gets the jackpot.

Other dependencies are shown in the table:

Statistics of dropped regular balls for the entire time of the draws of the above lottery.

Statistics of dropped golden balls for the entire duration of the Mega Millions draws.

The most frequently drawn combinations in the lottery are shown in the table below:

• Powerball Lottery, where more than a dozen lucky ones have managed to hit the jackpot. It is necessary to choose 7 main game numbers and two Powerballs.

1. Winner stories

   • Lucky compatriots

Evgeny Sidorov from Moscow received 35 million in 2009, before that Nadezhda Mekhametzyanova from Ufa hit the jackpot of 30 million. " Russian loto” sent another 29.5 million to Omsk to the winner, who did not want to name himself. In general, hitting jackpots is a good habit of Russian people

• 390 million US dollars in one hand

In the Mega Millions lottery, which we have already talked about, a lucky winner, who wished to remain anonymous, won 390 million US dollars. And this is far from rare. In the same lottery in 2011, two people managed to hit the jackpot at once, which at that time consisted of an amount of 380 million. The cash prize was divided into two parts and awarded to people who guessed the winning numbers.

A retiree from South Carolina decided to participate in the Powerball lottery and won 260 million, which he decided to spend on the education of his children, and also bought a house, several cars for the family, and then went on a trip.

1. conclusions

So, here is a summary of the most effective rules, following which you will definitely win:

1. The sum of all the numbers you bet on lottery ticket, should be calculated using the following formula:

Sum = ((1 + n)/2)*z + 2 +/- 12%

n is the maximum bet number, for example, 36 in a 5 out of 36 lottery

z is the number of balls you are betting on, e.g. 5 for the 5 out of 36 lottery

That is, for "5 out of 36" the sum will be:

((1+36)/2)*5 + 2 +/-12% = 18,5*5+2 +/-12% = 94,5 +/-12%

In this case, from 94.5 + 12% to 94.5 - 12%, that is, from 83 to 106.

1. Bet equally on even and odd numbers.
2. Divide all numbers by two large groups in half. The ratio of the number of hit numbers in winning ticket equals 1 to 2 or 2 to 1.
3. Follow the statistics and bet on those numbers that fell out in previous draws.
4. Don't bet on numbers with one step.
5. It is better to play less often, but buy several tickets at once, and also get together with friends and relatives.

In general, bolder! Follow my rules, bet, analyze statistics and win!
