I want to share with you my experience on how I won the gosloto lottery (in Russia) by cheating. It took me about 1 year of hard work and it required very high moral values (to resist). But more about that later... Here is how it looked like in reality:

Follow on twitter.

1. At first I was searching for bugs in "Gosloto 6/45" game number generator algorithm or something else which would let me predict numbers before draw. I tried most common methods but results were never satisfying - just some small wins every now and then. 

2.  Then I started reading docs related to this kind of lottery games and discovered many interesting things with regards to their algorithms etc... 

3. It turned out that "Gosloto 6/45" is not just a simple lottery game - it's more like an infrastructure of games - there are 7 different games which are built on Gosloto infrastructure and they are separated by only one thing - numbers range. 

4. For example game #1 (which has even odds) has numbers from 1 to 20, game #2 (which has odds 30:1) has numbers from 21 to 40 etc... So if you won with say number #30 in game #2 you can immediately try your luck with next draw in game #1 using same ticket because the difference between the two games is only one number which was drawn already (#31). 

5.There are also two very special games in this series. Game #6 has numbers from 1 to 90 and game #45 has even odds (1:1). So theoretically every combination of numbers for these games should be unique, because they have 90 and 45 different possible numbers respectively. 

6. But it turned out that there was only one number which was shared between both games - number #54... Go figure... It's like you won the game #6 with 54 balls and then try your luck in game #45 using same ticket :-)

7.        And that was my eureka moment! :-) I just picked up a pen, paper and started writing how many combinations of winning tickets can be made using any kind of numbers for games 6 and 45. The answer was:

8.        1,296,120 combinations!

9.        So as you can see it's not impossible to win this lottery game - you just need to be lucky enough to choose winning combination from 1.296.120 possible tickets :-)

But how do you pick a winning combination? I'm going to share with you my secret now:

10.        I used "Gosloto 6/45" game number generator algorithm to generate all possible combinations of numbers for games 6 and 45 and then just used my intuition (or gut feeling) to pick a winner :-)
