Whether you want to play for a chance to win a large jackpot or just enjoy a little casual fun, there are many different lotteries available across the US. These include instant win games, drawing games, and multi-state games. Many of these are available on the web, as well as in mobile apps.

The US has a history of lotteries dating back to the 1700s. In the early 19th century, several states began running lotteries as a form of gambling. Today, there are 45 states that operate individual lotteries and a number of states that have a multi-state lottery system. Some of the more popular lottery games include Powerball and Mega Millions.

In addition to these popular lotteries, several states also offer lottery games that you can play online. The odds of winning the jackpots in these lotteries are quite high, but there are also smaller jackpots that can be won. These jackpots are known as progressive lotteries.
