One can easily agree that excitement rules the world. A lottery is a lot, a lucky chance. People buy tickets and participate in raffles not only because of the prize. The received emotions, adrenaline - that is the main thing in this process.
When, who and why invented this fun
The history of this gambling must be sought in the depths of centuries. Even in ancient China, 100 years BC. e., with the money received as a result of the sale of lottery tickets, they built the Great Wall of China.
In England, the historical lottery, which allowed the country to overcome the deepest crisis, was held in 1559. Due to the receipt of “lottery” money in the budget, such attractions as the London Aqueduct, the British Museum and others were subsequently rebuilt. The funds from the lotteries successfully contained the first British settlements in America, built churches and schools, hospitals, colleges and libraries. Princeton and Harvard universities were also created with money received for "lucky tickets."
The first Russian lottery experience
Conducted by Catherine II in 1764, the state lottery was incorrectly calculated from a financial point of view. The campaign failed, the treasury suffered losses in an amount exceeding 45,000 rubles. This money had to be paid to those who came to check the lucky ticket. Over 100 years, Russian tsars were afraid to use this “make money" method. However, already at the end of the 19th century, thanks to state lotteries, the government helped the peasants survive the crop failure. And in World War I money was sent to help wounded front-line soldiers.
Soviet lottery policy
Considering the prize draws a bourgeois remnant, the Bolsheviks introduced a ban on this type of activity. However, after a couple of years I had to return the rally. The lucky ticket was subsequently distributed voluntarily to the population of the Soviet Union. Remember the words of the incomparable Nonna Mordyukova: "... And if they don’t take it, turn off the gas!"? State lotteries and bonds were published in large numbers and did an excellent job of filling the treasury. It was in Soviet times that the saying was born that it was useless to play gambling with the state. After all, they buy everything, and only a few win.
What makes a person buy tickets?
Of course, a person who buys a lottery ticket hopes to win in his heart. However, most of all people are attracted by those feelings that precede the process of drawing. How many emotions you can get while watching the program live! Perhaps this is the true reason for the cost of an ordinary person on lucky tickets. Indeed, some year after year, month after month, they regularly spend their money on buying pieces of paper with numbers. During this time, it would be possible to collect a huge amount in their accounts, putting aside a stash of these few coins weekly. But this is so boring! But to win is a completely different matter, it is a kind of “freebie”. It seems to be doing nothing, just watching TV. And here is a lottery, a lucky ticket with a win! Yes, the prize is great! And let some of the money have to be paid in tax. After all, the remaining amount is the same as falling from the sky. A moment of happiness, one might say.
What happens to the lottery winners
Unfortunately, sudden big money does not always make people happy. Most often, a person is completely unprepared for “communication” with huge amounts of winnings. Lucky tickets bring money, not the brains and skills of handling real finances. Very often, winnings are wasted in just a few years quite mediocre, without bringing anyone any good. So, if you still want to get a big jackpot as a result of a game with the state, you should carefully prepare for this, especially moral. Then wealth will be in joy, and happiness can come into the house.
Signs, advice and conspiracy for those who are ready to win
As a result of many years of observation and research, several “correct” methods have been identified for determining a winning lottery ticket. Here they are:
- The sum of the first and last three in the six-digit number should be the same (Moscow version).
- The sum of the odd digits of the number should equal the sum of the even numbers (Petersburg version).
- A symmetric or flipped number may be happy.
On one side of a small green piece of paper write full name, date of birth. On the back, with a brown felt-tip pen, you need to draw the runes: Ingus, Gebo, Dagaz, Feu, Soul. Put and light a red candle on top of the leaflet on the runoscript. When it burns out, sew green thread into a piece of orange flap. If you carry this mascot to win with you, all the lucky tickets will be in your pocket.
It is impossible to predict a win, but it can be pulled by applying simple runic magic.
Each person chooses a way to get strong emotions. Someone goes in for sports, while others buy lottery tickets. The main thing is that this activity brings happiness.
