In the past, if you wanted to play a lotto, you had to live in, or be visiting the country of the lottery you were playing. But advances in technology have made it possible to play lots of international lotteries, from your computer, smartphone or tablet, no matter where you are. This has opened up a whole new world of opportunity for people who enjoy playing the lotto.
The most popular international lotteries are the USA Powerball, Mega Millions and Euromillions. There are also state and territory lotteries in Australia, New Zealand and other countries around the world. They may be run by government agencies or private companies. The prizes range from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars or more. In some cases, the jackpot prize is split among multiple winners.
Some of the largest prize amounts in lottery history have been awarded to winners who are not citizens of the country in which they were born. These include a $1.3 billion dollar Powerball prize won in Portland, Oregon by an immigrant from Laos. The winner, Cheng Saephan, is part of a large Iu Mien community in the region, and his win will have a major impact on their lives.
Lottery games have been played for centuries and many have resulted in huge fortunes, including the famous Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus’s discovery of America in 1492. The first modern lotteries were created in Europe during the Renaissance, when European monarchs began requiring tax payments as a condition of their land grants. These taxes helped support the military and religious institutions of their kingdoms.
Until recently, the majority of lotteries were held in brick and mortar casinos. They were often run by gaming commissions, which regulated the operations of casinos and other gambling facilities. However, recent legal changes have expanded the options for lotteries in the United States, making them more accessible to players from all over the country.
New Zealand is a small nation with a population of four million. Its national lottery, Lotto New Zealand, was established in 1987 to replace two older lotteries. New Zealand’s Lotto profits are distributed by the Lottery Grants Board to charities and community organizations, such as Sport and Recreation New Zealand, and Creative New Zealand.
Several members of the ruling elite have business interests in the company that runs the lotto. A source in Laos, who spoke to RFA on condition of anonymity, said that the government should resume control of the national lottery. The company that currently manages it “can’t be trusted, because the results cannot be guaranteed.”
