Lotteries have a long history in the United States. Historically, the lottery was used to fund a variety of projects, from public education to building new churches. In the 18th century, lotteries became the primary source of revenue for religious congregations. In fact, in Paris alone, the lotteries helped build 15 churches, including the famous St. Sulpice church. It was this practice that eventually led the King of France to give religious orders the right to run their own lotteries, and the amount of money generated became so great that it caused a rift between the church and the monarchy.

The history of the lottery can be traced back to 205 BC in ancient China. In the Han Dynasty, lottery slips were used to fund major government projects. The Chinese Book of Songs even mentions the lottery and calls it a “drawing of wood and lots”. Today, the lottery has spread throughout the world.
