There are many lotteries around the world today. More than 100 countries have big government-operated lotteries, and that doesn’t even include the smaller, privately-run ones.
But just like everything else, UK lotteries do have a history, and a very interesting one at that. Research found that the British tradition of a national lottery can be traced back to the 16th century, proving that using a lottery to raise money for a good cause is nothing new. Therefore, the 16th century is the time that the UK national lottery started.
