Every week we see different lotteries on TV. And someone participates in them, someone, of course, wins. This is where the question arises: "How to get a prize?" If everything is clear with an instant lottery ticket - I erased the protective layer, if I was lucky, I received it right there, at the point of sale, or at the bank, then lotteries like "5 out of 36" and the like should be dealt with.
Instructions
Step 1
There are different lotteries in our country. And each organizer has its own order of receiving prizes. In any case, if you are really lucky, you should carefully read all the nuances on the organizer's website. Nevertheless, let us consider this issue using the example of two popular lotteries: "Gosloto" and "Golden Key". Let's start with the Golden Key. The results of the circulation and the timing of payments are published in Komsomolskaya Pravda and the regional press. According to the information on the site of this lottery, prizes of less than 1000 rubles can be received from the next Tuesday, but over a thousand - only a month later and within six months from the date of publication of the results. You can get money at the central office - in Moscow, or from regional representatives - all this information is available on the site. You also need to inform whether you want to receive your winnings in cash or by transferring to an account in any bank in Russia. If you won a prize of a material sense - an apartment or a car, you also have a choice. Just like in the famous "Field of Miracles" - a prize or money. If money, then you will become the owner of an amount equivalent to the value of the prize. You just need to call the phone, which can be found on the back of the ticket, and inform about your decision. To receive the prize, you need to present the ticket itself and your passport. If it is not convenient for you to go to Belokamennaya, you can send a ticket by registered or valuable letter and indicate your address.
Step 2
In Gosloto, the winnings can be received within 180 days from the date of the drawing. Amounts less than a million can be received by transferring to your personal account. If you are not a Muscovite, then you can send a ticket by letter, attaching a copy of your passport, a statement of a lottery participant, bank details to the original ticket. If you won more, then your personal presence at the central office is necessary. If during this time you could not receive the prize for some reason, you need to send a letter to the organizer, attaching the same documents. And the organizer will decide for himself how good your reason is. If the reason is not considered valid, then the money will go to the state, alas, but this is if you purchased the ticket in the usual way. After all, it is now possible to play by SMS, on the site, in instant payment terminals. The money won on the site can be received on it by transferring to the participant's personal wallet, or it is possible in the terminal by entering the code that will come to you via SMS. Amounts over 15,000 rubles can be received on a personal account by sending all the same documents listed above, but also attach the winning code received by SMS.
Step 3
Don't forget that any winnings are taxed. But you will have to go to the tax office on your own no later than April 30th. The tax is equal to the income tax: 13%.
