*** game of chance. Tonight’s megamillions. Jackpot is estimated *** new tonight. 207 million dollars. Now let’s see if I can make you a millionaire tonight and the chance to dream. I would like to be a billionaire. I want to win that lottery in there. If I win, I’ll probably take *** vacation, retire, buy *** house and probably *** boat. But the lottery is more than fantasies of outrageous wealth. So why do we have lotteries are extremely old mechanisms for raising money for the state. That date back. Israeli is the 15th century Jonathan Cohen is the author of $4 and *** dream state lotteries in modern America. He says the exact origins of the lottery are unknown. It’s tough because the evidence is a bit mixed. There is some evidence, I’m not really convinced that the *** lottery was used to finance the construction of the Great Wall of China. Other documents suggest that the Roman emperor Caesar Augustus used the *** lottery to help fund repairs in the city. *** lotteries were played in parts of Europe in the 14 hundreds. There is a *** record from 14 45 of *** Dutch city using *** lottery to raise money to build *** wall around the city. In fact, the word lottery comes from the Dutch word lot, which means fate. Eventually the lottery came to the American *** lottery was used to finance the British colonization of Jamestown. And then in the early American colonial republic it was used to finance infrastructure projects including the construction of churches and dormitories for such notable universities as Harvard Princeton and Yale Cohen says lotteries back then looked different, they were more like lottery tickets and tickets could be costly. So sometimes people only bought *** share of *** ticket, but not everyone was into this form of gambling during the Second Great Awakening. It’s ***, *** a little *** moral backlash in the 18-twenties, 18-30s, states banned them after the Civil War. In fact, they return very briefly. But in the 1880s, 1899s there is only one state lottery left in the country which was the notoriously corrupt Louisiana. State lottery officials bribed state legislators and agents sold tickets across America. It was depicted at the time as a spreading octopus. There is evil throughout the land. But in 1890, Congress banned the sale of lottery tickets between states, effectively closing down the last legal lottery in the United States. Because of this, the American soured on lotteries for decades until 1964, when New Hampshire starts *** statewide lottery which was the New Hampshire contest it was called, and it was absolutely insane compared to what we have for modern lotteries. Initially, *** horse racing determines the winning ticket. New Hampshire tried its luck at the lottery to raise funds to supplement its low state taxes. Its success prompted other states to follow suit. In 1974, Massachusetts introduced scratch-off lottery tickets, and four years later the jackpot was born, producing massive jackpots, national games like powerball and megamillions meant even bigger possible wins and Americans continue to test their luck. Lotteries are legal in 45 states, and about half of Americans say they play the lottery. According to the *** 2016 survey. In 2021, Americans over $100 billion spent $292.2 million to win the powerball jackpot. That means you’re more likely to be struck by lightning, die from a shark attack, or get a hole in one in golf twice in the same round than you are to win the lottery, but that doesn’t stop people from rooting for *** shot. What drives people to play the lottery is that it is a form of pursuit of the American dream. Even the loss of lottery tickets gives value to lottery players because they give the chance to *** a few minutes for *** a few days for *** a few hours to dream about *** new life and you can’t dream unless you play, I I feel lucky.
