Understanding Lotteries
When there is a high demand for something that is limited, a lottery may be run to make a process fair for everyone. Some examples include a lottery for units in a subsidized housing block, kindergarten placements at a reputable public school, or a vaccine for a fast-moving virus. Two common, popular examples are those that occur in sports and those that dish out big cash prizes to paying participants.
Sport
In the world of sports, the National Basketball Association (NBA) holds a lottery for the 14teams with the worst record from the previous season that did not make the playoffs. The names of all 14 teams are randomly drawn in order to determine which draft pick they will have. The team that comes out top is essentially given the first opportunity to pick the biggest talent out of college.
Financial
The financial lottery is a game where players pay for a ticket, usually for $1, select a group of numbers, or have machines randomly spit them out, and then win prizes if enough of their numbers match those randomly drawn by a machine.
The lucky winner is often presented with the choice of taking a lump-sum payment or annual installments. The former option is usually the most popular, although sometimes receiving the proceeds over several years via an annuity can make more sense, especially for taxation purposes—in most states, lottery wins are subject to income tax.
The largest jackpot in history was $1.586 billion, which was shared between three winners Jan. 13, 2016.
The total value of prizes is generally determined by the amount raised after the promoter takes out his or her expenses. That said, there are also some lotteries that offer predetermined prizes, meaning the promoter’s ability to cover expenses and generate a profit depend on how many tickets have been sold.
