The winnings tend to be less money, but they are extremely popular. In the United States, you can play the lottery or buy a ticket if you are 18 years or older. If you win, usually you have the option of being paid the entire amount in one lump sum or of being paid smaller amounts over a number of years.
奖金通常较少，但非常受欢迎。在美国，如果您年满 18 岁，您可以玩彩票或购买彩票。如果您中奖，通常您可以选择一次性获得全部奖金，也可以在几年内获得较少的奖金。
Lottery winnings are taxable, meaning the amount you actually get is smaller than the jackpot number. People can buy lottery tickets or play the lottery at many convenience stores. Lotteries are also very popular since they advertise; there are many television commercials, radio commercials, and billboards urging people to play.
彩票奖金需要纳税，这意味着您实际获得的奖金小于头奖金额。人们可以在许多便利店购买彩票或玩彩票。彩票也很受欢迎，因为它们会做广告；有许多电视广告、广播广告和广告牌鼓励人们玩彩票。
Lotteries have been controversial since they are essentially a form of legalized gambling. There is concern that it can lead to people becoming addicted to gambling. There are also illegal lottery games, usually run by some form of organized crime.
彩票一直备受争议，因为它们本质上是一种合法赌博形式。人们担心它会导致人们沉迷于赌博。还有非法彩票游戏，通常由某种有组织犯罪组织经营。
