While there are some concerns about problem gambling and cannibalization, there is no federal law that prohibits online lottery sales.

The first known European lottery was held during the Roman Empire. A record dating from 9 May 1445 at L’Ecluse mentions a public lottery that raised money for the fortification of the city. Other colonial colonies used lotteries to raise funds for fortification, college tuition, or local militia.

Several states have adopted the use of the lottery to finance public projects. In 1758, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts raised money for an “Expedition against Canada” with a lottery. It also used lotteries to support Princeton and Columbia universities. Eventually, the social classes and anti-gambling forces of the state opposed the idea. They feared that the lottery would encourage people to gamble, and that it could result in cannibalization of traditional lottery revenues.

The lottery was also used to help finance the construction of bridges, canals, and fortifications. Some of the early lotteries were sponsored by wealthy noblemen, who distributed the tickets during Saturnalian revels. Other lotteries offered prizes in the form of “Pieces of Eight.”

In the United States, state-wide lotteries are operated by the state governments. They are governed by a board of lottery directors, who set the rules and decide which lottery games are offered. There are currently 44 state-wide lotteries. The only states that do not operate a state-wide lottery are Alaska and Hawaii.
