A lottery is a form of gambling which is present in USA and in Europe. It's guided by the government and that is the reason why some countries don't have such a form of gambling because the government outlawed it, while in other countries it became a national lottery.

Prior to the World War II this type 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 is known as a "tax on stupidity" because of the minimal chances to win the big prize. Even if it is used to describe this form of gambling, the word "tax" is not strictly correct because these descriptions are used to make people recognize that these games are government-sanctioned operations and trusted lotto dealers they attract only those who do not recognize that buying a lottery ticket is a simple economic decision.

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

Lottery tickets tend to be checked on the computer using mark sense-technology, that could 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 different from nowadays lottery, because, even if guests were receiving some tickets (the prize often consisted of fancy items), those who were unlucky received prizes, too. So, this type of lottery was a kind of distribution of gifts by wealthy noblemen.
