International Lottery Day

August 27 is International Lottery Day. Every day hundreds of thousands of people around the world experience luck in receiving a gift from fate in the form of money, housing or a residence permit. International Lottery Day is celebrated in August, and the Lottery's Birthday is celebrated in winter. In 1466, on February 24, the world's first prize draw was held in Bruges by the widow of the artist Jan Van Eyck. Since then, playing the lottery has become a popular entertainment not only for residents of Norway, but also for other countries around the world. This is interesting: History knows victors who were literally kissed by fate. In 2014, Christopher Kaelin from Chicago won $25 thousand in the lottery. After celebrating the occasion with his fiancée at a restaurant, he bought another ticket with a protective coating at a gas station. Kelin erased it and found out that this time he won $1 thousand. A few days later, on his way to work, the lucky man from Chicago bought a third ticket at a store. It also turned out to be a winner: the amount of $250 thousand was printed under the protective coating. The lottery, or rather the taxes that winners pay from it, is used for good causes. The governments of the USA, Australia and Great Britain spend income from gambling on the construction of bridges, roads, museums and theaters. The winning combinations of numbers that are used to fill out lottery tickets come to some participants in their dreams, as happened to Canadian Mary Woollens in 2006. Other people simply listen to their own intuition, while others develop an entire system for winning. Thus, the American R. Lustig, thanks to her, won the lottery 7 times from 1993 to 2010. The size of the largest “jackpot” received in 2002 was more than $842 thousand. R. Lustig, based on his observations, even wrote the book “Find out how to increase your chances of winning the lottery.” This is interesting: The luckiest woman in the world is considered to be Joan Ginther, who has a PhD in statistics from the famous Stanford University. Over the course of 15 years, starting in 1998, she won a total of $20.4 million from the lottery. It is interesting that the American bought all the tickets in a store in the city of her childhood - Bishop, located in the state of Texas, where she specially came from Las Vegas. On International Lottery Day, hundreds of thousands of gamblers are actively trying their luck more than ever - professional players and those who believe in the smile of fate and a lucky chance. Therefore, on August 27, it is recommended to buy a ticket at a newsstand, at the post office, or go to the website stoloto.ru to check how favorable fortune is to you.
