Lottery Painless Way for States to Get Money
States turn to lotteries as a tax substitute amid taxpayer revolts. Maryland approved a state lottery, joining eight states with similar programs. New Hampshire started in 1964, with 50 cent tickets and weekly drawings, funding education and prizes.

Proponents say lotteries curb underworld gambling and avoid tax raises, appealing to taxpayers seeking revenue.
