The national lottery is an integral part of the government’s financial strategy in New Zealand, with proceeds allocated by the Lottery Grants Board directly to a range of community and sports organisations. These include Sport and Recreation New Zealand, Creative New Zealand, and the New Zealand Film Commission, among others. In addition to this, the government also runs a separate lottery to support health-related projects and research.
In Canada, there are four nationwide lotteries operated by provincial/territorial governments: Atlantic Lottery Corporation (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador), Loto-Quebec (Quebec), Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (Ontario), and Western Canada Lottery Corporation (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut). These regional lotteries are governed by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation, which is a consortium of the five lottery commissions that operates their respective territories. The Interprovincial Lottery Corporation also offers an online version of the PLUS Lotto lottery game.
The state lottery is a legalized form of gambling in Liechtenstein, with the state-owned International Lottery Foundation (ILLF) overseeing it. The ILLF pioneered Internet gaming, launching the first web-based lottery, PLUS Lotto, in 1995 and processing the first online gaming transaction ever. The ILLF also supports charitable projects domestically and internationally.
In April, a Lao immigrant in Oregon won a $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot—the fourth largest in U.S. history and the eighth largest in the country overall. Winner Cheng Saephan said he would split the prize evenly with his wife, Duanpen, and a friend who chipped in $100 to buy a batch of tickets with them, Laiza Chao. They will take a lump sum payment of $422 million after taxes. The winning ticket was purchased at a Plaid Pantry convenience store in Portland. The couple will be required to go through a security and vetting process, which may delay their access to the funds. However, they will be able to keep their anonymity. As of late, there have been accusations that lottery officials are rigging the system by manipulating drawing results in order to avoid large pay-outs. On Aug. 17, the office of Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith sent a directive to the Ministry of Finance, which oversees the legal state lottery, asking it to work with other agencies to address this issue. In particular, the directive orders the Ministry of Finance to reduce the number of lottery drawings from two to one a week and to ensure that winnings are handled in a transparent manner. The directive also calls for the closure of informal football and lottery chances sold through short messaging services.
