Lottery games have been around for centuries. Chinese lottery slips date back to the Han Dynasty, between 205 and 187 BC. They are believed to have helped fund major government projects. The Chinese Book of Songs even mentions this game of chance as “drawing wood or lots.”
Syndicates
Syndicates in lottery games are groups of gamblers who pool their money to play the lotto together. Members chip in small amounts to share the prize money. Syndicates typically have ten or more members and share the prize money equally. Syndicates can be as large as fifty people, or as small as one member. They are a popular way to bond with friends. In addition to the potential prize money, joining a lottery syndicate also offers the added bonus of meeting new people and enjoying the thrill of a big win.

Annuities for lottery winners
The most common form of annuity for lottery winners pays out a steady income over a long period of time. This type of payout is desirable for those who want to avoid spending too much money, or allowing their winnings to go uninvested. However, lottery annuities may not be the best option for everyone. For example, you may need the money sooner than expected. In this case, it is best to opt for a different type of annuity.
Avoiding scams
One of the first things you should do when you get an email from the lottery is to delete it. Lottery scams are sent by thousands of people every day, and they are designed to steal your identity. Trojan horses are programs that are embedded in email that steal your identity when you open it. Scammers use these programs to say and act however they want you to hear them, and they will often pose as a lawyer, claims agent, banker, law enforcement agent, or even a tax collector.
