In the United States, the lottery has existed for over a hundred years. In the eighteenth century, newspaper advertisements showed hundreds of lotteries operating in many different locations. In 1934, Puerto Rico became the first US state to offer a lottery, and New Hampshire followed suit in 1964. Currently, there are 45 US states and Washington DC, plus the Virgin Islands. Among these, the state of New Hampshire will start operating its own lottery in 2021. While the lottery originated in the American colonies, there are now a variety of different types of lotteries in the US.

The Lottery Division oversees public affairs, marketing, special events, website services, VIP Club initiatives, and more. In addition, the Lottery also produces annual reports, newsletters, and other special publications. The Lottery Division is organized into four separate units. The Finance Division was first named Administration, Finance, and Operations, but was renamed in 2015 to the current name, Administration, Information Technology, and Special Projects. Each unit is responsible for a particular area of Lottery operations, from purchasing advertising space to creating and implementing new lottery rules.

Daily lottery games are similar to their US counterparts, but they have smaller jackpots. While the prize pool in a daily lottery is not as large as a jackpot, it is still big enough to win over $175,000 if the winner’s ticket is drawn on a particular day. In most states, daily lotteries are offered to consumers online. In fact, online lotteries have spawned their own versions of daily lotteries, including lottery apps.
