Lotteries date back to the 15th century. Although early lotteries funded village needs by feeding and clothing the homeless, the poor, but they also improved defenses. Manfred Zollinger, author of Random Riches, one of the oldest lotteries in Bruges, Belgium, dates back to 1441.

Merchants paid for the chance to win money prizes in early lotteries. Often, the grand prizes included the tax farm on the wijnscrooderschap (wine transporters). These early Renaissance lotteries gave one grand prize winner the opportunity to own the tax farm. The wine's winnings also included quality control. Merchants would have a lucrative market if they won this lottery, there is no doubt.

During the American Revolution, early lotteries in the United States charged for cannons. The East Coast was also paved with roads up and down. Lottery funds were also paved. Today, states own and operate the lotteries. The funds they raise fund government services and the communities they serve.
