Lottery, also called lottery, is a way to raise money by drawing lots to win prizes, not gambling. The English name of the lottery ticket is "LotteriyTicket". Cihai (version 1999) explains lottery tickets as follows: "Commonly known as' pigeon tickets'. A voucher issued by a lottery ticket to raise funds or raise funds. "
Although human needs can be divided into moral and immoral, individual needs and the resulting needs are the permanent driving force for the continuous development and innovation of society. Gambling is a special activity to meet people's various needs and requirements, which is mainly reflected in the following two aspects:
(1) Lottery originated from the game, and the essence of the game is a kind of interesting activity generated by people's physiological needs. As an extension of the game, lottery organically combines gameplay, competitiveness and speculation, further enhancing the special charm of the game and meeting the special needs of individual lottery players.
(2) Lottery is in line with the individual's motivation to pursue economy. Adam Smith pointed out in The Wealth of Nations more than 200 years ago that when an egoist pursues his own interests, he only considers his own security and his own gains.
This time, he was led by an invisible finger. By pursuing his own interests, he often promotes social interests, and more effectively than he really intends to promote social interests. This is the hypothesis theory of "economic man", which shows that lottery activities are in line with the economic motives pursued by individuals.
