Did you know that state lotteries as we know them have been active in the U.S. for over 50 years.

March 12th , 1964 in New Hampshire the first state legally sold lottery ticket occurred in the U.S. Take note that Puerto Rico had a lottery system since 1934. New Hampshire was the first U.S. state to hold a state lottery. Not long after other states followed suit and created their own state lottery.
