Excerpt from Lotteries in American History The lotteries thus sanctioned were largely subscribed to, the Grocers' Company Of London and other guilds taking shares, and we even find two London churches adventuring 6 in Virginia lottery tickets. The first lottery was drawn in both June and July, 1612, and a second was drawn November 17, 1615, all moneys Of the adventurers being paid in to Sir Thomas Smith, treasurer, to inable us to make good supplies to the colonie in Virginia. The drawings were Often post poned to enable the numbers of the lottery to be filled up. The amount realized from them was about but upon the House of Commons protesting against the Virginia Company's lotteries as an illegal raising Of money without Parliamentary sanction, they were terminated in 1621, by an order in council. The earliest notice Of an American lottery I have found (although it was not the first) was in Andrew Bradford's American Weekly Mercury, Philadelphia, February 23, 1720. It advertises a new brick house, corner of Third and Arch, for which 350 tickets, at 20 shillings each, were to be drawn. John Read and Henry Frogley have given 500 bond to the mayor to see a fair drawing. Soon after, lotteries appear to have become common, and their attendant evils led to the pas sage Of an act as early as 1729, by the legislature, forbidding lotteries under a penalty Of 100.

This first comprehensive history of America's lottery obsession explores the spread of state lotteries and how players and policymakers alike got hooked on wishful dreams of an elusive jackpot. Every week, one in eight Americans place a bet on the dream of a life-changing lottery jackpot. Americans spend more on lottery tickets annually than on video streaming services, concert tickets, books, and movie tickets combined. The story of lotteries in the United States may seem straightforward: tickets are bought predominately by poor people driven by the wishful belief that they will overcome infinitesimal odds and secure lives of luxury. The reality is more complicated. For a Dollar and a Dream shows how, in an era of surging inequality and stagnant upward mobility, millions of Americans turned to the lottery as their only chance at achieving the American Dream. Gamblers were not the only ones who bet on betting. As voters revolted against higher taxes in the late twentieth century, states saw legalized gambling as a panacea, a way of generating a new source of revenue without cutting public services or raising taxes. Even as evidence emerged that lotteries only provided a small percentage of state revenue, and even as data mounted about their appeal to the poor, states kept passing them and kept adding new games, desperate for their longshot gamble to pay off. Alongside stories of lottery winners and losers, Jonathan Cohen shows how gamblers have used prayer to help them win a jackpot, how states tried to pay for schools with scratch-off tickets, and how lottery advertising has targeted lower income and nonwhite communities. For a Dollar and a Dream charts the untold history of the nation's lottery system, revealing how players and policymakers alike got hooked on hopes for a gambling windfall.
