Lottery what is it

The term means a kind of gambling, in which the distribution of the winnings depends on the random choice of the number, specified in the lottery ticket. Most of the money contributed by the players goes to the organizer of the draw. The prize fund is formed from them.. The state receives its share of the profit in the form of income tax.

The first types of lottery originated in ancient Rome and China. During the Han Dynasty, they resembled the Keno game. The proceeds were used to defend the country, including the construction of the Great Wall of China.

Different types of lottery were known in the Roman Republic, associated with the name Yu. Caesar. The first public lottery was held to collect money for road repairs, bridges and buildings. On big holidays, they organized free lotteries for the poor. Plebeians were handed out "pieces of paper of happiness", and cash prizes went to a few lucky ones.

Today, thanks to modern technologies, lotteries are distributed remotely.. You can buy a ticket on the distributor's website. One of them is Stoloto - stoloto.ru. The page has step-by-step instructions for registering, subsequent purchase of a lottery and how to get a prize.

Activities for the organization and conduct of lotteries on the territory of Russia are regulated by the Federal Law of 11.11.2003 №138-FZ. The tax service supervises the drawing (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation from 11.09.2012 №913).
