Online Lotteries: Overview according to jackpots and bonuses

This group of lotteries includes lotteries in their classic form, thus as we know them from earlier years (and as our grandmothers and grandfathers also knew them). Drawing of these lotteries takes place 1-2 times a day, in the case of really big lotteries 1-2 times a week (+ once in a while a special draw).

Due to the smaller number of draws, the prizes in the classic lotteries are then higher than in the case of the other two lottery groups. Compared to quick lotteries, the winnings of classic lotteries can be 100 times higher. Compared to instant lotteries, they can be 1000 times higher.

The classic lotteries are further divided into:

1) Variable: The jackpot increases according to the number of players and previous wins.

2) Fixed: Prize winnings are fixed.

3) Multiplier: The prizes have fixed multipliers according to the number of numbers hit and the amount wagered.

Classic lotteries are played both at branches of the lottery companies and online.

Quick lotteries differ from traditional lotteries in that they have an extremely high frequency of draws. In quick lotteries, you will usually get a new draw every few seconds or minutes at most. You can expect to see hundreds or thousands of draws every day in quick lotteries. This makes these lotteries more like classic casino games such as slot machines.

Because quick lotteries draw very frequently, far fewer people participate in each game round. This means a much higher chance of winning, but also a much lower maximum prize.

Instant lottery = scratch cards. In instant lotteries, you don’t have to wait for a draw. You can see the result immediately when you scratch off the game field. Instant lotteries are therefore a sort of combination of classic and instant lotteries, as they give you the possibility of high winnings while not making you wait long hours or days for the draw.

Scratch cards are very diverse. Apart from the attractive graphic motifs that make them great gifts, they also offer a variety of ways to uncover them and, of course, different chances of winning and amounts of main prizes. There are lottery tickets that offer really generous prizes as well as lottery tickets with more modest rewards but at the same time have a high probability of winning.

Licensed lottery companies, that is, companies that can officially offer their services in this territory, must provide the highest level of security for sensitive data as well as for money. Sensitive data can only be handled by authorised persons and only in a way that protects the data.
Furthermore, the Lottery Act requires maximum security of the site against external attacks, using the latest technology. The security of online lottery sites is thus easily comparable to that of online banking at any bank.

The current Lottery Act also has the convenience of users in mind and precisely regulates the details of the relationship between the lottery company and its customers. Because of this, players are assured that they will be paid money from their winnings.
In addition, licensing also requires that the lottery company provides at the very least basic customer support so that customers have somewhere to turn if any problems arise during use.

The law on lottery games does not set a maximum possible prize, as is the case with casino games (slot machines, roulette, etc.).This makes online lotteries still very attractive, as they allow you to hit a very big prize “in one fell swoop”.

The idea of buying tickets together, is not entirely a bad one. However, this technique, known as a “betting syndicate”, should not be seen as a means of increasing the chances of winning, but as a way of reducing the cost of buying tickets and saving money in the long run, while still having a decent shot at winning.

In order to avoid possible fraud when placing group bets, where it typically happens that the initiator of a group bet refuses to share in the event of a win, we recommend using a dedicated feature.
A group bet allows you to buy a share in another player’s already created ticket, or to create your own ticket and offer a share in it in exchange for paying part of the ticket price. You can offer a share of a ticket in a group bet to your friends, colleagues or family members, or even to anonymous people.

As previously mentioned, the only way to increase the odds is to bet multiple columns at once. The more tickets you have, the better your chances of winning. However, keep in mind that your odds increase only marginally.
For example, if the odds of winning the lottery were 1 in 100,000 and you bet one ticket, the odds are that you will win one in 100,000 bets placed. If you bet 10 columns, the probability of winning is 10 times out of 100,000 bets placed. Do you get the picture?

Betting on hot numbers, i.e. numbers that fall more often than other numbers in recent times, is another popular myth. It is true that the probability of drawing any one number from the pool is exactly the same whether that number has fallen ten times in the previous draw or not at all.

The probability of drawing each number would only change if a human interfered with the draw in some way, for example, if the shape of the balls or their weight was disturbed.

Some people are convinced that the longer a number has not fallen, the more chance there is that it will finally be drawn in the next draw, so they bet on so-called “cold numbers”, i.e. numbers that have not fallen for a long time. This practice is not necessarily wrong, but it doesn’t increase your actual chances either.

Each draw stands on its own. It is not dependent on previous or future events. This activity is completely random, it is not a mental process. Therefore, before each draw, there is as much chance of a cold number falling as there is of a hot number falling (i.e. a number that hasn’t fallen for a long time, as there is of a number falling five times in a row).

In the long run, the frequency of numbers drawn will even out, so that within, say, 100,000 draws, a one will be drawn about as many times as a ten, twenty or fifty, but that’s another matter entirely. In reality, it is never possible to predict when the probabilities will balance out, i.e. when the numbers that have not yet been drawn will finally start to fall.

So betting on cold numbers is not a bad thing, it’s just that you have exactly the same chance of winning as if you had bet on any other set of numbers.

These programs are generally paid for, and needless to say, they are a waste of money. No one can predict the future, especially not so precisely that they can accurately determine the combination of several numbers being drawn in the future. And if someone really could, they would certainly not share such a thing with other players, but keep it to themselves. Therefore, it’s best to save your money and buy your next ticket with it.

According to this myth, it pays to buy a whole series of lottery tickets at once, or sheets of consecutive lottery tickets, rather than individual lottery tickets. According to the people who perpetuate this myth, winning lottery tickets are spread out evenly in a series, so buying a whole lottery ticket series will eventually lead to a win.
Sadly, we have to disappoint you on this one, too. This strategy doesn’t work either. The truth is that winning tickets are printed randomly even in a series, so it can happen that even a hundred sheets of tickets in a row won’t yield a single win.
