Lottery online is a form of online gaming where players purchase tickets and compete to win prizes, often by answering trivia questions. Prizes may include cash, merchandise or travel. The games are generally operated by private companies or state-owned gambling operators, and most lottery games are available through the Internet. The most popular games are the multi-state Powerball and Mega Millions. Some jurisdictions also offer keno and video lottery terminals (similar to slot machines). The most significant revenue source for lottery games comes from instant tickets, which have been around since the 1970s.

In Laos, there are 17 units of administration, 16 of which are provinces and 1 is a prefecture (in lingua Lao: nakhnhlwng, traslitterato: Nakhoonluang). The provincial level consists of districts (in lingua Lao: mueang), which are then divided into villages and hamlets (in lingua Lao: ban o piu precisamente baan). The lowest grade of administrative division in the country is a village (in lingua Lao: maung). The village is divided into hamlets, which are then further subdivided into houses. The houses in the hamlets are rented out and owned by individuals or groups of people.
