Mechanic from Bashkiria became lottery millionaire

Bashkiria resident Nikita has been participating in state lotteries for a long time: at first, he bought tickets at points of sale, and then installed a mobile app and continued participating, purchase tickets through the app. The young man tried different strategies: he marked the numbers with his hand or chose automatic combinations, sometimes replacing the numbers in them with his options. And then he was lucky enough to win the super prize - 1,622,810 rubles. Because Nikita marked additional numbers in the second field of the ticket and thereby increased his chances of winning, the amount of his winnings also increased by 75,000 rubles and in the end amounted to 1,697,810 rubles.

"Walking, I spontaneously bought a ticket and forgot about it. Later at home, I was texting a girl, and a message from the state lottery arrived. I go to the app, and there was a win," Nikita recalls.

Nikita is a mechanic for repairing and technological devices by profession. Previously, his hobbies were fishing and enduro riding, but now his work takes up all his free time. The winnings will go towards the down payment on a home purchase.
