A woman who grew up in a Laotian orphanage during the turbulent 1960s and ’70s says she plans to donate part of her $55 million lottery jackpot to the people who raised her. Xia Rattanakone, now an American citizen, also wants to return to Laos to search for her birth family.
Throughout the world, lotteries have become popular sources of income and are a vital source of funds for public and private sector projects. They are a form of gambling, where the odds of winning are determined by a combination of factors, including luck and skill. However, some critics argue that lottery games have the potential to be addictive and should be strictly regulated.
In the United States, there are state-run lotteries and several privately run ones, including The New York Lottery, the Colorado Lottery, and the Florida Lottery. There are also multiple health lotteries operated by different companies across the country. In Canada, there is the provincial Lottery Corporation and the Quebec City government’s Société des lotteries du Québec.
