Colonists try their luck
American lotteries go back to the pre-Revolutionary War era. Research shows that the colonies held nearly 400 lotteries in the mid-18th century. A Philadelphia newspaper ad promised a "new brick house" for one lucky lottery winner. Tickets sold for 20 shillings each.

New Hampshire
Although Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands held lotteries back in the 1930s, New Hampshire becomes the first U.S. state to do so. Schools there see immediate benefits from sales of sweepstakes tickets. Today 44 states (plus Washington, D.C.) conduct lotteries.

Multi-state games
Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont are the first states to combine resources in order to create bigger jackpots. Their flagship game remains "Tri-State Megabucks." Today each of the 44 state lotteries offer both Mega Millions and Powerball.

The biggest jackpot ever
The Powerball jackpot on January 13 was an incredible $1.586 billion. Three lucky winners each took home just over $500 million each.

There’s something about free money that seems rather appealing. Now then, you scratch the card, cross your fingers, avoid the 13th floor, and generally hope for the best. Then, right on July 17 — National Lottery Day — it happens. You win the big dollars and spend the rest of the month searching for the perfect beach house on Kauai.
Well, maybe, but one thing’s for sure — you have to play to win. National Lottery Day is a chance for everyone to try their luck and get involved.
