The original New York state lottery did not achieve the financial results expected by its original backers, due to a poor distribution arrangement. The buyer had to go to a hotel, local government Illinois Lottery - New Zealand Lottery agency or bank to buy a lottery ticket and once there he had to write his name and address on a duplicate ticket, keep the carbon and drop the original into a box. Imagine a laborer, dirty from work and perspiration, walking into a bank and standing an hour in line to purchase a lottery ticket. To add to the problem, Congress passed the 1967 Federal banking statute which prohibited the sale of lottery tickets by banking institutions insured by the Federal government. Fortunately, the distribution problem was solved. Of course, statewide lotteries, like all other legalized gambling ventures, have to go through a period of trial and error before the correct format is found.

It should be noted that efforts by the United States to prohibit internet gambling may be illegal under international treaties with the United States and therefore ultimately unenforceable by the United States, New York State and other states. In a March, 2004 ruling by a World Trade Organization panel, at the request of Caribbean countries licensing internet gambling website owners, the W.T.O. held that efforts by the United States to prohibit internet gambling in the United States was a violation of various treaties with the United States.
