This is the fourth billion wagered since 2020. This was announced by the lottery center Stoloto, the largest distributor of state lotteries.
At the moment, the winner has contacted the organizers by mail and after carrying out the formal procedures will be able to receive the prize. As noted in Stoloto, the winners have the right to maintain confidentiality, so the name of the billionaire is not disclosed. If, at the end of all the procedures, he decides to tell his story, Stoloto will present it to a wide audience. Previous winners also contacted the lottery operator after a while.
