A lottery is a form of gambling which is present in United States as well as in Europe. It is guided through the government and for this reason some countries do not have such a form of gambling because the government outlawed it, while in other countries it became a national lottery.
Before the World War II this form of gambling was illegal, but in 1960 casinos and lotteries began to appear in United States and Europe and they were used as a means to raise revenue together with taxes.
Sometimes the lottery is described as a regressive tax. It’s called a “tax on stupidity” due to the minimal chances to win the big prize. Even if it’s used to describe this form of gambling, the word “tax” just isn’t strictly correct because these descriptions are used to make people recognize that these games are government-sanctioned operations and they attract only folks that do not know that buying a lottery ticket is a simple economic decision.
Lotteries come in many formats. Some lotteries can give a prize which is according to money and a lot of them on goods.
Lottery tickets are often checked on the computer using mark sense-technology, which can check in less than one second if a combination of numbers was chosen by anyone.
Do not 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 that it was distinctive from nowadays online lottery, because, even when guests were receiving some tickets (the prize often consisted of fancy items), those who were unlucky received prizes, too. Because of this, this sort of lottery was a sort of distribution of gifts by wealthy noblemen.
