Excitement and love for easy money will never allow the popularity of all kinds of sweepstakes and lotteries to fade away. The winning percentage in them is usually low, so the lucky ones who managed to make millions in a matter of minutes become real celebrities. Even if your ticket turned out to be lucky, you still need to be able to get the prize.

Instructions
Step 1
Be sure to keep your ticket - this is the only proof of your winnings. If the winning amount is not high, then you can apply for it at the place where you purchased the ticket. Some lotteries pay no more than 2 thousand rubles on the spot, others - no more than a thousand. In this case, everything is quite simple, in exchange for a ticket, you get your winnings. The situation is more complicated if you managed to win a larger amount.
Step 2
For a big win, you will have to contact the head office of the company that produces the drawing, or to its regional representatives. You must have a ticket with you, as well as a passport and details of the personal account to which you want to receive your winnings.
Step 3
Remember to pay tax on your winnings. By law, it must be 13 percent of the amount won. However, if you became the winner of a drawing or lottery that was held for advertising purposes, then you must give 35 percent of the value of the prize or the amount won. In the latter case, you will have to pay tax only if the amount received exceeds 2 thousand rubles.
