Playing the Turkish Sayisal 6/49 Lottery

[hillbillybill]

During stays at the Cenk Bey in Calis, a lot of guests (myself included) would fill in tickets for the Saturday night Turkish 6/49 lottery and then one of the staff would take the tickets to Gunlukbasi and put them on at the lottery shop there.
Does anyone know if it is possible to open an account with Milli Piyango (The Government department that runs the lottery) and play the Sayisal Loto 6/49 from a bank account, just as we can here in the UK with the 6/49 National Lottery? This would mean that people like myself could play the Turkish lottery all year round, instead of just when we are in Turkey for holidays.
The price of one line on the UK 6/49 National Lottery will soon be rising to £2. For 6TL (just over £2) on the Sayisal Loto 6/49 you can get 8 lines = 8 more chances of winning for the same cash and the same odds.
Any ideas about how to go about playing the Turkish Lottery while living in the UK would be most welcome.

Try claiming your winnings if you are not a Turkish citizen !!

I just got this reply from the Turkish Lottery Administration:

  Dear Bill Hartley, 


    Sayısal Loto 6/49 and other games are only played by Turkish National Lotterry Administration's terminal machines.Games can be played only before 4 weeks. It ıs not possible to sell the tickets by a bank.

    Turkish National Lotterry Administration


So that's knackered that job!

Thanks for your reply, GordonA. It looks like I will have to say goodbye to all the local sheep, move to Turkey and become a Turkish National if I want to play their lottery every week. I wouldn't have renewed my Burnley Football Club season ticket if I had known!

I used to live on "Turf Moor Estate" !! Carholme Avenue to be more precise !!

My Big Plan was to open a Turkish bank account and play the same 82 lines every week by Direct Debit/Standing Order. This would have cost me 61.50TL (just over £20) per week. To do the same here with the UK Lottery would cost £164 twice a week (Wednesdays & Saturdays) = £328 per week. A big difference.
As we now know, this isn't going to happen as tickets can only be bought at lottery terminals and only for a maximum of four weeks at a time.
However, just out of interest, here are the 82 lines that I was going to use:

01,02,03,30,34,46             04,05,07,14,34,45             09,10,25,30,43,47

One thing's for sure - if it loses money, it loses a lot less money in Turkey than it does in the UK. Always look on the bright side of life 

By the way, I asked permission from Admin first, before posting any stuff about doing the Turkish 6/49 Lottery.

Just checked last night's Sayisal 6/49 Lottery result at: http://www.millipiyango.gov.tr/sonuclar/_cs_sayisal.php
Winning Numbers: 09,13,25,30,35,47
Using the 82 lines above would have given one line with 4 correct (31.75TL) and one line with 3 correct (5.35TL). The winning lines were the top line in the 3rd column and the 14th line down in the 3rd column.
Anyone using these 82 lines would have got more than half of their stake money back, making next week's lottery a lot cheaper to play. It's all about Damage Limitation and staying in the game while waiting for the Big One

Gordon, is there any truth in your comment " try claiming your winnings if your not a tukish citizen "  ?    For 7 months a year when in Turkey, I  regularly do the turkish  lottery ( thursday draws ) but always wondered  would there be a problem if I  hit the `big one     ( I wish lol ) so is there a problem if you are not a turkish citizen ?

[ceni]

Pardon my numptyness but is this the same lottery as the ones the old boys stand in the street and sell tickets for, if yes, then I@ve won on that before and got my winnings.

[hillbillybill]

Hi Ceni,
The lottery we are talking about here is the Sayisal 6/49 Loto where you fill in a slip, picking 6 numbers from 49 for each line, and then take the ticket to a lottery terminal - just like we do here in the UK when playing the National Lottery. The only difference is the Turkish version is a hell of a lot easier on the pocket   
When in Calis, the nearest shop with a lottery terminal is up the road in Gunlukbasi.
The results for the lottery can be found online at: http://www.millipiyango.gov.tr/sonuclar/_cs_sayisal.php

Hope this helps,

Hillbillybill.

Winning numbers for Week 2 (10.08.2013): 01,06,12,29,43,48

Results at: http://www.millipiyango.gov.tr/sonuclar/_cs_sayisal.php

Two lines with 3 correct numbers in the 82 lines posted above = 2 X 6.05 TL = 12.10 TL

All helps to keep expenses down   

Both winning lines are in the middle column, 15th line down and 22nd line down.
