Milli Piyango: New Year Lottery in Turkey

Whoever takes a bundle of tickets will get....400 million liras! That's if you're lucky, of course. Let mathematicians calculate the probability of winning in lotteries, but we will talk about the traditional New Year lottery in Turkey - Milli Piyango. The national lottery in Turkey appeared in 1889. In 1939, Milli Piyango, a company controlled by the Prime Minister of Turkey, became the official ticket dealer.

In fact, the Milli Piyango lotteries are held all year round, but it is before New Year's Eve that every Turk feels obliged to buy a cherished ticket, so that on New Year's Eve, sitting in front of the TV screen, to watch the announcement of the results with excitement.

New Year lottery tickets are sold out by the end of December! In Istanbul, for example, there is an official network of ticket outlets called "Nimet Abla". It was named after a Turkish woman named Nimet Abla who sold a large number of winning tickets. You had to stand in a long line to buy a ticket from her! Now her grandson is in charge of selling tickets in the "Nimet Abla" network. Of course, in other cities in Turkey, the locals also have their favorite ticket sellers.

This year's New Year's Lottery jackpot is 400 million Turkish Liras (almost 14 million dollars). The total prize pool is more than 2.3 billion liras (more than 80 million dollars). The ticket itself costs 400 liras. However, you can buy half a ticket for 200 liras or even a quarter of a ticket, but then the amount of winnings will be less.

 If you are in Turkey now, you can try your luck and, like most Turks, buy a ticket or a part of it and participate in the National New Year Lottery. We wish you good luck!
