A lottery is a form of gambling which is present in United States of America as well as in Europe. It is guided by the government and that's the reason some countries do not have such a type of gambling because 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 together with taxes.

Sometimes the lottery is described as a regressive tax. It is referred to as a "tax on stupidity" because of the minimal chances to win the big prize. Even when it really is used to describe this form of gambling, the term "tax" isn't strictly correct because these descriptions are used to make people understand that these games are government-sanctioned operations and they attract only those who do not understand that buying a lottery ticket is a simple financial decision.

Lotteries come in several formats. Some lotteries can give a prize which is according to money and many of them on goods.

Lottery tickets are usually checked on the computer using mark sense-technology, that may check in less than one second if a variety 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 the fact that it was distinctive from nowadays lottery, casino online because, even if 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 sort of distribution of gifts by wealthy noblemen.
