A lottery is a form of gambling which is present in United States and in Europe. It is guided by the government and for this reason some countries don’t have such a type of gambling since the government outlawed it, while in other countries it became a national lottery agent.
Ahead of the World War II this type of gambling was illegal, but in 1960 casinos and lotteries began to appear in United States of America and Europe and they were used as a means to raise revenue as well as taxes.
Sometimes the lottery is described as a regressive tax. It really is described as a “tax on stupidity” due to the minimal chances to win the big prize. Even when it is used to describe this form of gambling, the term “tax” is just not strictly correct as these descriptions are used to make people realize that these games are government-sanctioned operations and they attract only folks that don’t know that buying a lottery ticket is a simple economic decision.
Lotteries come in lots of formats. Some lotteries can provide a prize which is determined by money and a lot of them on goods.
Lottery tickets are often checked on the computer using mark sense-technology, that can check in less than one second if a combination of numbers was chosen by anyone.
Don’t think that the lottery was invented in 1960, after the World War II. Romans were first to play this game – this was a way to relax and amuse at dinner parties. The truth is the fact that it was different from nowadays lottery, because, even if guests were receiving some tickets (the prize often consisted of fancy items), individuals who were unlucky received prizes, too. As such, this type of lottery was a kind of distribution of gifts by wealthy noblemen.
