A lottery is a type of gambling which is present in United States and in Europe. It is guided through the government and that's the 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 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" as a result of the minimal chances to win the big prize. Even if it really is used to describe this type of gambling, the phrase "tax" is not strictly correct as these descriptions are used to make people understand that these games are government-sanctioned operations and they attract only individuals that do not realize that buying a lottery ticket is a simple financial decision.

Lotteries come in several formats. Some lotteries can provide 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, see which can 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 that it was different from these days lottery, because, even when guests were receiving some tickets (the prize often consisted of fancy items), those who were unlucky received prizes, too. Consequently, this kind of lottery was a kind of distribution of gifts by wealthy noblemen.
