Lotteries were popular in the Netherlands as early as the 17th century and were used to raise funds for poor people and other public projects. They were also a popular alternative to paying taxes. The oldest lottery in the world, the Staatsloterij, was founded in 1726. The word lottery is derived from the Dutch word “lot”, which means fate.
