Instant lotteries in Belarus. What can you win in Belarusian lotteries?

The unitary enterprise, which bears the simple name “Belarusian Lotteries,” is the organizer of all the main draws held in the republic. This company was created in the fall of 1999. Through its activities, the enterprise contributes to the development of the lottery business in the republic. Widespread development. The “Holiday” lottery is one of many held in the Republic of Belarus.

Thoughts about wealth may be material

Every person on the planet, regardless of age, education, place of residence, social status and financial security, wants to win. And this is a completely normal desire, present in his mind from a young age. After all, dreams of some unknown foreign grandfathers with millions of dollars, gold coins of the cheerful wooden boy Pinocchio, who, trying to unravel the mystery of the golden key, kept looking for a secret door, and pots of gold have been exciting the thoughts of the adult population for many decades. And if adequate people are still able to understand that the story of Pinocchio is just a fairy tale, and they do not have American (or any other) relatives and, moreover, never had and, accordingly, never will, then the magic pots are not forgotten . And they are really worth it. And not only the distant Irish (after all, the legends about the pots are their national legends), but also the inhabitants of the once very large Land of the Soviets still fervently believe that one fine day this notorious pot will be in their hands.

And it all began when we became acquainted with Scandinavian and foreign fairy tales, which mentioned not very cute creatures - leprechauns - fairy-tale gnomes. Each of them has their own pot of gold (and, most likely, more than one), which they, as a rule, hide where the end of the rainbow is. And it is this end of the rainbow that can lead the treasure hunter to the leprechaun, who must either give up the gold or fulfill the person’s three wishes. By the way, to this day in Ireland, on St. Patrick's Day, adults dress up as leprechauns, cheerfully celebrating the holiday in the hope that this will bring them at least a little closer to solving the mystery of the pots.

A little about the company...

"Belarusian Lotteries" - an enterprise that organizes the vast majority of instant and lottery draws in the republic - provides good opportunities. So, more details.

The draws conducted by this company over the past eighteen years have brought significant income to the country. This helps raise funds for needed causes. For example, we can mention the supply of medicines, equipment, food to orphanages and boarding schools; equipment - general education and sports institutions.

The incentive to play is an important thing

It is necessary to mention here that the organizer, as a rule, also organizes international draws. Residents of other countries can take part in them.

Foreign participants have the same right to play lotteries, with only one condition: these prizes are given in cash equivalent to the lucky owners of cars or apartments. Moreover, the chances of winning when playing such lotteries are much higher, and the process is more transparent than in other countries of the post-Soviet space. And a great incentive to constantly take part in games is that taxes are not paid to the state for winnings.

Lottery-lottery...

But in order. The “Holiday” lottery is a nationwide, combined, passive game. This abbreviated name is usually used on tickets, advertising and other posters.

Its circulation covers the entire territory of the Republic of Belarus. The Office of the President of the Republic of Belarus is the founder of this lottery. Everything is legal.

The main goal pursued by the “Holiday” lottery is to collect the necessary funds, which are subsequently used to gradually develop the material and technical base of government institutions that protect nature, as well as all health centers and sanatoriums that are located on their territory. And this is absolutely the right decision.

Prize fund

Further. The drawing of the “Holiday” lottery (and its prize pool, respectively) is held at least twice a year. It happens more often. The fund itself is in a certain state depending on how many lottery tickets were sold in the total circulation. Its size is no less than 45% and no more than 50% of the total volume of tickets sold, that is, of the total amount collected from the sale. Here it is allowed to play both the usual cash prizes and some valuable material property.

Actually, a lottery ticket consists of a playing field and an instant win field. The latter includes ticket and category numbers, series.

How much is the winnings?

So, the “Holiday” lottery. The amount of the winnings (or prize) can be found out immediately after the ticket has been purchased. This can be done by removing the protective strip with the letters “Wash here”. It’s easy to check the Holiday lottery. The main thing is to have the desire to play and win. If the buyer has won something (we mean the instant and prize parts of the draw), then he can receive money or material property after the prize fund is drawn. Winning amounts are usually indicated in the official table, which indicates all the results of the lottery. In general, absolutely nothing complicated.

By the way, the results of the “Holiday” lottery are more than pleasant. After all, in addition to money, gold jewelry and even devices are raffled off. And of course, everyone who purchases a lottery ticket at least once naturally hopes to win. And, preferably, larger.
