See if you're one of them: four millionaires from Sverdlovsk Oblast don't know they're now millionaires.
The operator of the all‑Russian state lotteries "National Lottery", held at the initiative of the Russian Ministry of Finance, is searching for four residents of Sverdlovsk Oblast who became winners of the "Second Chance All Year Round" promotion for participants of the "Mechtallion" lottery. Each of the Ural residents won one million rubles, but none of them have yet contacted the organizers, the company's press service told URA.RU.
As lottery representatives clarified, on December 28, 2025, 100 new millionaires appeared in the country at the same time — as part of the promotion, 100 cash prizes of one million rubles each were drawn. All registered "Mechtallion" tickets purchased during the year participated in the draw, regardless of the outcome of the main draws. As a result of the promotion, four lucky winners turned out to be residents of Sverdlovsk Oblast.
Could it be you? A Sverdlovsk resident who won 333 million rubles in the lottery is being sought. Another Sverdlovsk resident won 60 million rubles in the lottery a few days ago. He also has not yet been found.
