A lottery is a form of gambling which is present in United States and in Europe. It is guided through the government and that is the reason why some countries do not have such a form of gambling since the government outlawed it, while in other countries it became a national lottery.

Ahead of the World War II this form 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's called a "tax on stupidity" due to the minimal chances to win the big prize. Even when it's used to describe this form of gambling, the word "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 those that do not understand online casino that buying a lottery ticket is a simple economic decision.

Lotteries come in several 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 will check in less than one second if a mix 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 lottery, because, even when guests were receiving some tickets (the prize often consisted of fancy items), those who were unlucky received prizes, too. For this reason, this sort of lottery was a kind of distribution of gifts by wealthy noblemen.
