State Housing Lottery
Reviews about this method of solving housing problems are quite diverse. Some write that this is a "divorce", while others, on the contrary, vehemently protect it. Let's first understand what it is.
The State Housing Lottery appeared in 2012. Its organizers set a clear goal - to solve housing issues of Russian citizens. Sounds tempting, doesn't it ?! Therefore, the main prizes of the lottery are apartments and country houses, and cash payments are additional.
To take part in the housing lottery, you need to perform two simple steps. The first is to buy a ticket, the second is to hope that the balls drawn from the lottery drum match the numbers in your lottery ticket. How many people have been happy with the Housing Lottery since the inception of this game? The reviews of those who bought tickets cannot give accurate data, but based on a survey on one of the thematic sites, only 3.38% of the players who voted won big prizes. Whether it is a lot or a little is up to you.
Features
The state housing lottery has a number of its features. By the way, it is worth mentioning that it belongs to the number distributed by the Stoloto trading house. This means that the ticket for the next draw can be purchased on the company's website. So, here are the features of the State Housing Lottery:
- Prize drawing is carried out on behalf of and under the strictest control of the state. Therefore, the risk of becoming a victim of scammers and not getting a well-deserved gain is minimal.
- Valuable property is always presented as the main prize. Moreover, before international and state holidays, as a rule, several apartments are played out.
- The winner can pick up the main prize (it doesn’t matter - an apartment or a country house) in cash. That is, if the winner does not want to live or rent real estate in Moscow or in the Moscow region, he can simply take the money - says the Housing Lottery. Feedback from the winners, in turn, are negative in relation to this fact.
All of the above features of the game can be safely attributed to its own advantages, but there must be some pitfalls ?! And they are, read more about them.
Lottery organizer flaws
No matter how attractive the housing lottery might be, the feedback from the players indicates some inconvenience and strangeness of the organization of the game process itself. For example, repeatedly, people who bought a lottery ticket noted that different sites indicated different information about the date and time of the draw. Also, the process of buying a ticket in post offices has not been established. Yes, a ticket can easily be issued via the Internet without queues and unnecessary hassle, but do not forget about people of a more mature age and pensioners who are also not averse to trying their luck. But sometimes for them this becomes quite problematic, since the process of registering a ticket at the post office is long and time-consuming. To add a ticket to the database, the operator needs to assign a code number to each ticket and only then register it in the database. Sometimes these operations can take up to 15-20 minutes, which is not very convenient.
How to find out the result of a draw?
After you have bought a lottery ticket, you need to wait for the prize draw and take part in the game. But let's face it: few are ready to get up at eight in the morning to watch the live broadcast of the rally. Therefore, the Housing Lottery (reviews, by the way, favorably publish the results) offers lottery ticket holders to find out the winning combination of balls in several ways:
- Online on the site. The easiest and fastest way to find out information about the run. To do this, go to the site in the section "Stoloto" - "Housing Lottery". Feedback on this method of ticket validation is positive, as the results of the draw are available within a few hours after the live broadcast.
- In a mobile application. If you regularly purchase lottery tickets from the Stoloto Trading House, it is advisable to install a special application on your mobile device in which you can easily and quickly find out information about the results of all draws of the housing lottery.
- At points of sale. After the announcement of the results, you can contact the distributor of lottery tickets for the State Housing Lottery, which will provide you with all the relevant information about the prize draw.
- In the newspaper. The newspaper Argumenty i Fakty publishes the results of the circulation every Wednesday.
- By phone. If all of the above methods for some reason do not suit you, you can clarify the information you are interested in by the phone number indicated on the ticket.
Participant reviews
To date, millions of participants have tested on themselves what the Housing Lottery is. The feedback from the winners and losers is very different from each other, so let's listen to both sides.
Although most participants in the Housing Lottery are left without a prize or with a minimum cash prize, many are quite positive about the game. Firstly, it raises the mood, secondly, the ticket price is quite low, and thirdly, the prize draws are carried out without fraud. The positive aspects include the fascination of the live broadcast, the weekly draw of prizes and the convenience of checking the lottery ticket. However, many refuse to participate in the game because of the early broadcast program. The prize draw is held on Sundays at 8:20 in the morning, so few are willing to sacrifice their days off to participate in the game.
Winner Reviews
I wonder how many people were happy with the State Housing Lottery? The reviews (who won the apartment are unlikely to shout about it publicly) say: it is possible! But the winners do not really like to talk about their winnings. Many of them bought various lottery tickets over the course of decades, and many won the first time. Luck defies logic and analysis. The only conclusion that can be drawn based on the feedback from the winners is that this happy lottery ticket in their life will definitely not be the last.
