[04:59] work on January 1st The whole truth Well of course not just because on New Year's we can't relax with the whole family spend the whole night with the whole family spend the whole night dancing until we drop until the morning

[05:11] Because in the morning we need first of all to look good so there are no bags or signs of fatigue And of course we are maximally focused on the eve and can allow ourselves to relax and truly celebrate the New Year only in

[05:24] the evening of January 1st Well since we were talking about January 1st in the present Snow Maidens you just pull out new winnings announce them every time we learn from your lips lottery millionaires what it's like what you feel at

[05:43] such a short pause before announcing the winner the amount of his winnings and because I understand that in a few seconds this person will become happier, richer, and more confident. In general, it is a great happiness

[05:57] to announce such information and, in its own way, to give some kind of warmth and to announce such a masterpiece. A historical moment. In general, it is great. The New Year's drawing is special not only because it is broadcast live, but also

[06:12] for our TV viewers. This is a magnificent show. It has top stars. This is the biggest win. What is it like for you? What do you feel from this draw? Once a year, on January 1st, I feel from this draw? Once a year, on January 1st, I

[06:26] physically, but this is understandable. At the same time, we experience tremendous country, can celebrate the arrival of the New Year. Its first day on the NTV channel. And of course, a fine for the global scale because this is an insanely beautiful

[06:41] show. That is, we want our viewers not only to win and delight with their signatures, but also to enjoy the beautiful picture that a huge team of people creates. It looks fantastic and sounds simply amazing. Tell us about

[06:55] any incidents. Perhaps, during the show, they are broadcast live after all. Watch it. broadcast live after all. Watch it. It is very difficult. A technical project is a big undertaking, so with such a team preparing this drawing, it's

[07:08] not just impossible. You know, every person who works on the site and in the New Year's billion, he performs his functions so clearly that we are absolutely sure that everything will be great, everything will be one hundred percent, so I will accept this confidence, it

[07:21] shifts to me, but nevertheless, I wish you good luck with all my heart. Well, let's make sure that our live broadcast is really live. I show the date and time on the phone. January 1, 15 hours 2 minutes, less than half an hour remains until the start of the

[07:36] main draw of the country. I'm silent-silent. I immediately hand over the floor to Varvara. I know that she has a very, very interesting guest, Varvara, our Tash. Next to me, there is not only a very beautiful girl but also the head of the

[07:51] winners' department, Olga Khakimova, who meets all our lottery millionaires. So, meeting with Olga and great luck. Olga, hello, please tell me how the current

[08:05] New Year's billion drawing is different from our classic drawings. They are certainly different because if in the weekly Russian Lotto drawings winners with large winnings, then of course after The New Year's billion is

[08:19] hundreds of winners. For example, last year we had 581 millionaires. to come to us in person at The Rain and the center to register their winnings, but

[08:31] they don't appear right away. For example, in the first week, we see that about 14 percent of winners are winners. The peak occurs in the second week (about 40 percent), and in the third and fourth weeks, it's about 27 percent. There are winners, but some, of

[08:46] course, come much later. We ask how it happened that they didn't show up right away and often cite three register their winnings: sending a package of documents and either arriving decently, or

[09:01] agreeing with their employer, for example, about their arrival and the possibility of leaving. The third option is, of course, that they simply forgot to check their ticket in time. As for interesting figures concerning New Year's draws, in the

[09:17] entire history of New Year's draws, more than 800 lottery millionaires and 4 multimillionaires have appeared with winning amounts from 250 million to a billion, but you must agree that

[09:29] this is a colossal figure in such a history. New Year's drawing is definitely on and we're not only drawing, we're also looking for our lottery millionaires, so please don't forget to check your tickets.

[09:42] What awaits our participants in this draw? Something special awaits our participants. draw? Something special awaits our participants. Even if the jackpot isn't won, the draw continues, of course, and a billion is guaranteed to be won. By the way, with

[09:57] a probability of over 65 percent, a new billionaire will appear in our country. It's less likely that two or more participants will share this billion. Also, today, our participants can expect 100 prizes of

[10:12] one million each and thousands of cash prizes. In total, more than two and a half billion rubles will be won. I think these are colossal numbers, and of course, we're waiting for the winners at our morning registration center.

[10:28] This is simply wonderful. But how quickly do you pay out winnings? quickly do you pay out winnings?

[10:40] the winnings are transferred within 180 days from the date of registration, and even a billion will be transferred within the specified time frame. This is simply wonderful. For example, I forgot how much time I have to come to my senses and finally receive

[10:54] my winnings. It's enough, about three and a half years. We need to find the winners so that you can claim your winnings, and even if the winners aren't announced right away, we start looking for them and can contact our

[11:08] partners, local regional media, and also sellers at points of sale and place various ads there, and in the end, of course, the winner

[11:20] is announced. We had a case like this last year: over six months, we were looking for eight winners of the New Year's draw, and four of them showed up in November-December of them showed up in November-December last year, and they told an

[11:34] to check their ticket and generally about their ticket, and decided to participate in the upcoming draw. They went to the website, registered in the account under the same phone numbers with which they bought their tickets, and to their surprise, they found a

[11:48] winning of 1 million rubles there. They have already come to us, have already registered and are happy. We are also waiting for the remaining four, so sometimes you can check in an old winter jacket and find 50 rubles, or you can check the lottery for tickets, and you

[12:01] end up a millionaire in the lottery. The last question that worries our TV and Internet viewers is where the money goes if After three years, no one came for them,

[12:15] all unclaimed winnings are transferred to the state budget, so wow, all people, we've just talked a lot about millionaire lotteries and even prepared a short video about them, watch

[12:30] video about them, watch [music]

[12:49] ejected the last application, something at the post office at my place of residence, the post office employees advised me to buy and the emphasis was on the ticket I pulled out, it turned out to be a lucky one, I bought it in Moscow at a kiosk, I chose at certain hours at home on the Internet, the emotions were very

[19:57] I wish everyone good luck, so that they catch their luck by the tail, so that their wishes come true, and they also win large sums. Thank you very much, you are large sums. Thank you very much, you are wonderful, and I convey the words of the novel.

[20:33] drawing. We talked, let's talk about winning. There is an opinion that it is enough to check at the end which barrels did not fall out, if these barrels are not your Poles, then you have won, but this is not entirely true. The fact is that you could win in the

[20:49] first round when you matched the first line, you could win the jackpot first line, you could win the jackpot when your first 15 barrels matched any of the 15 numbers in the field, or you won a billion. You are the first to fill in the 15

[21:03] numbers in the field. Therefore, in order for you to clearly understand how exactly to play, how exactly to win, we made a small instruction

[22:01] [music] and

[22:14] you and now you are a lottery millionaire, what should you do, where to go, where is our lottery center, everything is in the instructions below the instructions below [music]

[23:16] [music] Well, as they say, not millions alone, if you won up to 600 thousand rubles, what should you do then, let's look further do then, let's look further [music]

[24:33] Well, our winners are always decent people and honor taxes, Olga St. How to pay taxes so that everything is done correctly? If a participant is lucky enough to win more than 15,000 rubles, then the state lottery acts as a tax agent,

[24:49] and in this case, the winnings will be transferred minus the tax. Now in Russia, the standard rate is 13 percent. Again, in 2021, taken into account: a win of up to 5 million is subject to a tax rate of

[25:05] 13 percent, for an amount over 5 million, the tax rate is 15 percent. tax rate is 15 percent. If the winners won from 4,000 to 15, in this case, they will need to pay the tax themselves

[25:21] residence. Well, if the winners We won a total of 4,000 to 4,000 rubles per year. In this case, this winning is not subject to taxes or investments. Thank you very much. This is simply wonderful. I hope we have told

[25:36] you about a very important thing, and I invite my partner, Roman, to my place.

[25:48] who I brought you from the technical zone. This is Anatoly Lizunov, who is responsible for conducting technical support for the drawing. Anatoly, good afternoon. Good afternoon. First of all, I want to congratulate everyone on the coming New Year and am very glad to

[26:02] see you in this wonderful technical zone wearing the host's masks. I am ready to answer all your questions. Thank you very much. People often ask what the draw commission looks like. Why is it needed at all? What is its function? The

[26:15] draw commission has two functions: conducting the draw and confirming that the draw was fair, that the corresponds to the one reflected in the draw protocol. The final stage is the

[26:30] signing of this draw protocol by the draw commission. Tell me what powers the draw commission has. Can they, for example, stop the draw and force it to be redrawn? Yes, of course they can. They have that right. What if it

[26:42] seems to you that there is some discrepancy with what should happen on the site in accordance with the terms of the lottery? They can suspend the rush and demand an explanation, and even force you to replay this draw. But

[26:55] thank God, this has never happened before. This means that our draw commission is formed from citizens who have reached the age of 18 and are legally competent. Let's say for today's New Year's

[27:11] billion, we selected, among other things, another member of the draw commission, so to speak, from among the players, and you will see him on the site. We have excellent. But tell me how all the tickets get into the database from all over the country. It's all very simple. On the one

[27:27] technological. At the moment of selling a lottery ticket through a fiscal machine. Well, you will all learn how the cash register produces a receipt, a fiscal receipt that is registered in the database. At the same time,

[27:43] recorded internally and in our processing, where the data about the ticket is reflected and thus the database of participating tickets is formed. That impossible to interfere with it in any way, it is impossible not to add. It is absolutely true that it is

[27:59] impossible to do this because the fact of transaction completion is recorded at every moment and the database has two moments: the start of

[28:13] ticket sales and the end of ticket sales. After the lottery ticket sales are finished, we close sales and it is impossible to sell a ticket for this draw, therefore,

[28:31] welcome Dmitry Gubernia, and please give two minutes to our online viewers. Please tell me how exciting this live broadcast is for you. I live live. By the way, I love the word exciting to lead. Words are

[28:44] therefore, in fact, when you live right at the fairy’s place, since now only a rest are all practically working at the expense of let’s rewrite here. We screwed up a little, but I want to say that nothing decorates a live broadcast like a

[28:57] slight error of the presenter, but today everything will be brilliant at the level of the highest world standards and our wonderful viewers. I wanted to say that our viewers really are also watching. Happy New Year, guys, good
