Lotteries have a long HUBET and fascinating history that dates back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations such as China, Rome, and Egypt used lottery-like systems to fund public projects, distribute land, and raise money for wars.

The earliest recorded lottery was in HUBET TẢI APP China during the Han Dynasty (205–187 BC), where lottery slips helped finance the construction of the Great Wall. In Europe, lotteries were popular in the Roman Empire, often used to give away prizes at banquets or to raise money for public works.

The modern lottery system took shape in the 15th and 16th centuries, with public lotteries held in towns across Europe. These lotteries funded roads, bridges, and even early universities. The United States adopted lotteries in colonial times, using proceeds for education and infrastructure.

Today’s lotteries have evolved into highly regulated, multi-billion dollar industries. They incorporate advanced technology and reach millions globally, but their core purpose—fundraising and chance-based winning—remains unchanged.
