Hello everyone!
Lottery tickets have been a staple of my childhood. I remember my grandma buying them all the time and us sitting with her, crossing out our lucky numbers. It's the thrill of possibly winning, and the whole atmosphere of the family gathering together, eagerly waiting for the lottery draw to start.
I still remember winning around 2,800 rubles back in the 90s. It's a significant amount that's stuck in my memory, especially considering the times we lived in. By the way, my grandma and I would also often win small prizes. We'd mostly exchange them for tickets to participate in the next draw.
It's been over 20 years since then, but I still occasionally participate, holding onto the hope of winning. Nowadays, you don't have to sit around crossing out numbers; you can simply check your ticket through the website or app, or even buy an electronic ticket. But I prefer the first option.

WHERE TO BUY TICKETS?
There are a few options:
You can buy tickets online through the website or app. It's pretty straightforward – just register, enter some details, and you can choose tickets for different draws.
You can also find special kiosks, shops, or even Post Office Russia locations that sell lottery tickets. Lately, these points of sale have become more common.
The cost of a single ticket is just 150 rubles. I personally prefer the paper version.

To win, you'll need the tickets (if you're not buying the e-ticket version). So, make sure to save them.
GAME RULES
The game is for 18+. The rules are super simple: the hosts draw a number, and players cross it out on their tickets if it's there.
The game itself is split into 3 stages:
The first 5 numbers drawn can make you a winner and a big-time player (you need all 5 numbers in a row to win big).
Next, 15 numbers need to match exactly in one ticket.
In the final stage, both fields in the ticket (30 numbers) need to match the drawn numbers, with no numbers left unchecked.
These rules are printed on the back of the ticket and repeated by the hosts on TV.
At the start, all numbers are called slowly, with regular breaks for chatting with audience members, ads, songs, and dances.
But in the final stage, things move quickly, and when you've got a lot of tickets like we did, it's easy to get confused and miss a number or two (or check your tickets online at the end).

MY EXPERIENCE IN 2025
We bought 22 tickets, gradually and in advance. We usually play with fewer tickets, but this time we decided to go big.

We ended up with three packs of six tickets each and a few singles.

(Incidentally, they also sell tickets in a small tube. Although I don't see the point in fancy packaging). The ticket sizes vary, but the game board itself is the same everywhere. And I think the chances of winning are the same too.
We divided all the tickets among family members, and even the kid joined in, happily crossing out numbers. He was interested because we sometimes play regular lottery at home). My mother-in-law also joined in.

The broadcast started, live on TV (although I'm not entirely sure about that...
I couldn't say anything about the hosts, except for the guy who's participated in many other TV shows.
Among the celebrity guests were Olga Buzova, of course, Sergey Lazarev, and Vanya Dmitrienko. Overall, it wasn't bad, except when they started singing. Taste and style are subjective, after all).

I won't go into the details of the entire draw, but in this episode, everyone was more dressed up than usual. The rules were the same, though.
So, all the balls were drawn, except for three.
In the end, there were only three balls left with numbers that showed who won the ticket or not. On January 1, 2025, the numbers 4, 29, and 38 didn't come up.
I had 22 tickets, and in 13 of them, they were present. It was a bit disappointing... Although they say that every second ticket wins.
I heard that a resident of the Sakhalin Oblast won a billion (I'm happy for them, if that's really true and not a scam).
And as a result, out of our 22 tickets, 9 of them turned out to be winning tickets.
Not a billion or even a hundred thousand, but small sums.
To check the amount, I wanted to log in to the website to check via the QR code (it would be faster). But the app and website 'crashed'. I guess half the country decided to do the same thing).
It was only after 3-4 hours that it came back up. And the sums were... depressing.

So, the total winnings came out to be 1815 rubles (we spent 3300 rubles). And to withdraw this amount, you have to pay tax.

So, it turned out to be even less. This time, we weren't lucky... Although we often break even just from buying the tickets.
FINAL VERDICT
This New Year's Billion lottery 2025 was a disappointing one for us in terms of winnings... The tickets didn't pay off, and we ended up in the red. It's not always about buying a large number of tickets. We've bought 3-5 tickets and won sums of several thousand before.
I don't know if I should advise people to play Russian Lotto or not. If you don't take it too seriously and don't expect a miracle... Then it's a pretty harmless form of entertainment. Just remember that you can not only win, but also 'lose big'.

After using the SnapTrek for a week, I'm thoroughly impressed with its overall performance. The build quality is top-notch, and the ease of use is a huge plus. I've been able to navigate through menus and settings with ease, which is a major win for me.
The customer support team has been super responsive, and I've received helpful assistance whenever I needed it. I've also been impressed with the return policy, which gives me peace of mind when trying out new products.
All in all, I'd say the SnapTrek is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly device. It's definitely worth the investment, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new action camera.
