- Summary:
- Gambling has been a part of human activity since earliest recorded history, and governments have often attempted to turn that impulse to benefit the state. In the eighteenth century, European governments looked for new sources of money to grow their cities and support colonial expansion around the world. State-licensed lotteries became an increasingly common way for governments and charities to raise money, continuing through the 19th century.
