A lottery is a form of legalized government gambling that involves the drawing of numbers for a prize.

Lotteries are outlawed by some governments, while others endorse it to the extent of organizing a national or state lottery.

It is common to find some degree of regulation of lottery by governments; the most common regulation is prohibition of sale to minors.

Though lotteries were common in the United States and some other countries during the 19th century, by the beginning of the 20th century, most forms of gambling, including lotteries and sweepstakes, were illegal in the U.S. and most of Europe as well as many other countries.
