Prizes range from cash to goods, and are typically awarded through a random drawing. Most states have lotteries, which operate as public enterprises that are regulated by the government. Although the casting of lots for decisions and fates has a long history (including several instances in the Bible), the modern lottery is a relatively recent development.<\/p>\n<p>The main reason states introduce lotteries is to raise money. They argue that the prizes \u2014 which are supposedly \u201cpainless\u201d for taxpayers \u2014 will enable governments to expand their array of services without onerous taxes on the middle class and working classes. In the immediate post-World War II period, this arrangement worked well enough, but in the decades that followed it crumbled as inflation and the cost of wars pushed state budgets to unsustainable levels.<\/p>\n<p>A second issue stems from the nature of lottery games themselves. Once they become established, they largely follow the same pattern: revenues initially expand rapidly, then level off and even decline, necessitating a constant introduction of new games to maintain or increase their popularity.<\/p>\n<p>The public messages that lotteries promote are aimed at two groups of people: people who just plain like to gamble, and the affluent who can afford to spend a great deal on tickets. Both messages obscure the regressivity of the lottery, as well as its underlying resemblance to a swindle.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The lottery is a form of gambling
