# Introduction

Lotteries are now a big business, involving more than 100 countries and 200 jurisdictions, and worldwide sales of lotteries are estimated to amount to almost $224.3 billion in 2007 and up to $400 billion in 2020 with a projected 10% growth over the next 1-3 coming years.

Despite lotteries' long history and the vast amount of money involved, lotteries around the world are plagued with problems. The flaws of the current government and private lotteries are turning away a great number of players, as the fairness of these games is difficult to demonstrate.

Creating a lottery system is a difficult process, and the current one has many flaws. There's no doubt that technology can help us simplify our work and address current shortcomings. This is where blockchain and smart contract technology comes in; leveraging it could make the lottery industry much more efficient.

As the online gaming sector expands and demographics change, lottery players want to be able to play in new ways too. Blockchain technology is the future of lotteries, enabling a sustainable and secure system that can be trusted. With blockchain, players all over the world have a fair chance at winning prizes.
