Belarusian lotteries are an indisputable phenomenon in the post-Soviet space. No other country has that many lotteries. In Belarus, there are about fifty of them, and from the point of view of the names presented, there is a choice for every taste - professional, sports, ideological and patriotic. And the number of people wishing to try the taste of victory at random is becoming greater. And the lotteries themselves in Belarus have long been not exclusively national, since many players from the post-Soviet space take part in them. Figuratively speaking, lotteries have become an independent sector of the economy with stable positive dynamics of revenue growth.
