●Evgeny Sazonov, chief editor of the Komsomolskaya Pravda media holding;

The circulation commission controls the fairness and transparency of the drawings, and also monitors compliance with the principle of randomness in the formation of a winning combination. Any capable citizen of the Russian Federation over 18 years of age can join the circulation commission free of charge. As part of the 1526th draw of the Russian Lotto, the draw commission, as always, checked the barrels and bag for intactness, completeness and the absence of temperature anomalies, and also monitored the correctness of the drawing.

In addition, independent experts from FACCT, a Russian developer of technologies for combating cybercrime, were brought in as additional control measures over the drawing. The task of the FACCT specialists was to ensure that, in addition to the control measures established by law applied to all lottery drawings distributed by Stoloto, such as the independent control system installed by the organizer of the Russian Lotto lottery — the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation, the draw commission, as well as , as for all other lottery drawings, control by the Federal Tax Service, using additional verification methods to ensure that only sold tickets with registered game combinations took part in the “New Year’s Billion” drawing.
