The game of lotto involves a draw to determine the winner(s) of a prize. In some countries, the prizes are cash, while in others they are goods or services. The draw is usually conducted by an independent body, although some national governments do it themselves. There are also private lotteries, which operate as a business for profit and distribute the proceeds to a variety of causes.
Lottery games are a popular form of gambling in many countries. They are governed by the laws of each country. In some countries, the winnings from these games are taxed. In the United States, a person who wins more than $600 in a single drawing must report the amount to his or her tax authority. Some states have special laws for lottery winnings.
In Laos, the state-owned company Vietlott holds regular draws for its customers to win big prizes. Last Thursday, two customers won a combined jackpot of VND314.1 billion (US$12.4 million). The first winner was from Ho Chi Minh City and the second from Hanoi.
Gambling in Laos is illegal, but there are a number of Special Economic Zones throughout the country that do not enforce this law. This means that players from the country can play at numerous online casinos without fear of being caught by the authorities.
In 1967, Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau attempted to recoup some of the costs of the World’s Fair and subway system by creating a “voluntary tax.” For a $2.00 donation to the city, people could enter a drawing for a chance to win silver bars, rather than money. The federal government argued that this was a lottery, but the city was determined to continue its monthly draws.
In Canada, the national lottery is administered by an interprovincial consortium of provincial and territorial lottery commissions: Atlantic Lottery Corporation (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador), Loto-Quebec (Quebec), Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (Ontario), Western Canada Lottery Corporation (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, Nunavut), and Société de lotteries du Québec (Quebec). The Quebec government was the first to legalize a private lottery in 1974.
