But you might be surprised to learn that the amount of money you get back is only a fraction of what you paid for it!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to keep a few dollars in your emergency fund instead of spending it on lottery tickets. Even if you do win, there are huge tax implications and you may have to give up half of your winnings.<\/p>\n<h4>The History of Lotteries<\/h4>\n<p>The first recorded public lotteries in the world were held in the Low Countries in the 15th century to raise money for town fortification and to help the poor. In some towns, public lotteries were even sanctioned by the city council to finance local churches and schools.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of lotteries argue that they promote addictive gambling behavior, are a major regressive tax on lower-income groups, and lead to other abuses. Others see them as a necessary accommodation for a society in which governments are often in conflict over how to increase revenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lottery is a game in which people pay money to buy tickets for a chance to win prizes.
