The historical homeland of the game is Europe. The Russian name "lotto" originated from France - "Loto" and from Italy - "Lotto". In countries where the English-speaking population rules the lotto, lotto is called "Bingo", which means "Victory", "Yes", in the CIS countries it has a name that was acquired even during the reign of kings in Russia - "Russian Lotto".

"Russian Lotto" - a game of the universe

The most widespread in the territory of Russia lotto received in Soviet times. This is the time when everyone from small to large knew what name the barrel with number 90 has.

Soviet families preferred to spend their leisure time dedicating it to playing lotto. One has only to remember how in the 90s a successful lotto game was played in many families, which was devoted to whole evenings. The opportunity to involve all family members in the common leisure, regardless of age and level of erudition - that was the main reason for the demand for the game.

What is wonderful about the game?

Today, playing lotto is not just an interesting, exciting pastime, but also a chance to win a valuable prize. Many of us cherish the hope of winning the desired, but almost unattainable individual housing or vehicles in the lottery. Several years ago, with the beginning of the action of such mass lotteries as "Superloto" and "Your Lotto," the Russian lotto received a chance for a new life, and every Russian-speaking TV viewer, even those who did not already know this, remembered what name the barrel With the number 90 and his 89 friends.

Names of kegs. Origins

The names of the kegs in the Russian lotto reflect the richness of the centuries-old Russian fantasy. Here are some of them:

• "Grandfather" (90), "grandmother" (80);
• "Pretzels" (88);
• "Ax" (7), "hatchets" (77);
• "Back and forth" (69);
• "Half a pound" (50);
• "Half ask" (48);
• "Curly" (33);
• "I eat one" (41);
• "Swan" (2), "geese-swans" (22);
• "Point" (21);
• "Drum sticks" (11);
• "For three" (3);
• "Count" (1).

Each of the above named barrels in the lotto has a certain logical explanation. For example, "grandfather" (90) is the oldest among the kegs, and his name reflects this completely, the swan (2) - the figure "two" is similar to a swan with its long neck, "geese-swans" (22) , Which means goose and swan (the goose also has a long curved neck); "Ax" (7) - a graphic representation of the digit "seven" like a hatchet, "hatchets" (77) - two sevens, ie two hatchets and so on.

Playing in a lotto is not only excitement and adrenaline, but also a kind of exam for attentiveness. It is necessary to distract and to miss only one named number, as the prize can literally "float away" from the hands.

In the variant of the game "Short Lotto", the winner is the one who crossed out all the numbers of one of the lines of any card that is on hand. If the game is in the "three by three" mode, the winner will be the one who closes the bottom line of any of the available cards first. When one of the players in the top line closes, all but the closed player double their bets. When you close the middle line, the player takes a third of the betting.
