Is lottery controlled by state law?
A lottery is a popular form of gambling that involves drawing lots for a prize and requires no skill. Lotteries may take a variety of formats and the prize may be fixed cash or goods, or a fixed percentage of the lottery receipts. Many recent lotteries (most commonly called Lotto) allow purchasers to select a combination of numbers on the lottery ticket, a practice that may result in multiple winners. However, in lotteries where each ticket sold has a unique number, there may only be one winner.
