A Lao immigrant has won a $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot prize. Forty-six-year-old Cheng Saephan, who lives in Portland, Oregon, will split the money with a friend. He plans to use half of it to pay for cancer treatment for himself and his wife. The rest will go to his friend, Laiza Chao, who helped him buy the tickets. Chao is a member of the Iu Mien ethnic group, which has long fought against communist insurgents and assisted American forces during the Vietnam War.
Lottery is a popular game in the United States and other countries around the world. Many state governments operate a state-run lottery, while others contract with private companies to manage the game. In some cases, large portions of lottery proceeds are used to fund public education systems. In other cases, the profits are redirected to other programs such as public safety and local projects.
There are some controversies regarding the legality of lottery games. One of the more notable ones involved Montreal mayor Jean Drapeau, who wanted to recoup some of the cost of his city’s World’s Fair and subway system by offering a $2.00 “voluntary tax” on lottery tickets. The federal minister of justice argued that the “tax” contravened federal law, but Drapeau countered that Quebec City was a special case because it had a constitutional right to self-government.
