A winning ticket for a $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot was purchased in early April at a Plaid Pantry convenience store in Portland. Its owner, 46-year-old immigrant Cheng Saephan of the Iu Mien ethnic group, wore a broad smile and raised his oversized check above his head as he spoke to the press. He said he and his wife, Duanpen, are splitting the prize money, which is expected to total $422 million after taxes.
In the United States, state-licensed lottery operators run lottery games, with a percentage of proceeds going to public education systems. The largest operator in the country is GTech Corporation, a privately owned company headquartered in West Greenwich, Rhode Island. It handles 70% of worldwide lottery sales. The company also operates Internet-based games and a network of affiliate websites.
The first Internet-based lottery game, PLUS Lotto, was launched in 1995 and processed the first online gambling transaction. Since then, a number of other Internet-based lottery games have been developed, including instant scratch-off tickets and video lottery terminals (slot machines in all but name). These machines are often used as self-service devices for lottery retail outlets.

In the 1970s, instant lottery games exploded in popularity, especially with the introduction of keno and video lottery terminals (slot machines). Today, they make up a large portion of the US lottery industry. The industry is continuing to evolve with the introduction of new types of games such as i-Millions, MegaMillions, and Powerball. These games are based on probability, but with much higher prizes and lower costs of entry. In the future, these games will probably continue to grow in popularity. They may also become more widely available on mobile devices. Some states have even started to allow the use of i-Millions games on public transportation. Many people believe that these games can help to reduce crime and social problems caused by gambling addiction.
