History of American lotteries

Gambling as a phenomenon has been known in the United States of America and other English colonies since 1600 of the year. However, not every colony was allowed gambling.. for example, in the Massachusetts colony, cards and dice were banned, even in private properties. In most colonies, However, gambling was regarded as harmless entertainment, if their conduct did not bring riots.

Lotteries were used for more than just entertainment, but as a source of income for the colony. The rules of these lotteries were complex enough: often they combined the elements of instant lotteries and accumulated the jackpot at the same time. Profits from lotteries were used to fund schools, construction of roads and bridges, other public works.

Lotteries in the United States have not always had an impeccable reputation. IN 1830 years, reformers began to condemn lotteries on moral principles and asked legislatures to ban them.

History of American lotteries

Lotteries in America date back to the rise of the colonies of England in the New World. This phenomenon has become an integral part in the history of building a new country..

During the reign of Elizabeth I, the desire to establish colonies on Novaya Zemlya turned out to be a failure. Therefore, under Jacob I, it was decided to attract money from people. One of the largest London company at the time, named “Virginia”, owned the right to lay the first colonies named after King Fort James (English version of the name Jacob). By order of Jacob I, this company organized the lottery. Such an action was supposed to make it possible to build and maintain colonies of settlers. The result was amazing. For several years in a row, lotteries have brought 8 thousand pounds.

History of American lotteries – 1814 year

However, the colonial settlers were unhappy with, that lotteries are held only in England. Local authorities began to organize them.. FROM 1612 years, such lotteries are held annually. Capital, obtained from ongoing draws, helped establish the first American settlement of Jamestown in Virginia, or, what else was she called, Virginia. Later, the money was invested in social programs: school construction, hospitals, shelters, strengthening the army.

The lottery became popular, progressing in different directions and forms, as it was clear, that this is one of the most effective ways to replenish the budget for social development and military needs.

Already in the second half of the 19th century, the lottery brings the USA huge sums of money for social programs in twenty-four states. For two centuries for money, from raffled lotteries, more than three hundred schools and medical institutions were built, two hundred temples, orphanages, libraries, globally recognized colleges and universities. People were happy, deciding, that participation in them is the business of every citizen of the country.

But there have been “black days” for American lotteries. Major scandals have occurred: dishonest organizers did not give winnings to the winners. Or even disappeared with the money in an unknown direction. The state has lost control over the process of collecting money. IN 1890 year, President Benjamin Harrison restricted lotteries, and soon they were completely banned.

History of American lotteries – 1826 year

Congress introduced a law to obstruct and popularize the lottery in the country. IN 1892 year this law was approved at the level of the US Supreme Court. In the first year of the 20th century, lottery commerce was closed everywhere, outside of Louisiana. It had lottery draws for another six years..

After more than half a century, the lottery began to revive. IN 1964 year New Hampshire became the first state, who carried out the lottery drawing after a long ban. Just three years later, New York State joined the draws. And in the 70th year of the XX century, the state of New Jersey held a draw, in which, for the first time, amounts were accepted automatically. Which was the impetus for the advancement of the modern online drawing.

More than 50 lotteries. Each state provides its own rules of the game, therefore, several draws can be carried out by one firm.
