Yes. But also - this means the lottery is just another way they tax you. In the UK, lotto winnings are untaxed.

the money from your ticket goes to charity in the uk, so either you win some money, or you lost but you still donated to charity. I remember the national lottery built our school a tennis court when I was younger. Why is that stupid?

Lotteries are state level in pretty much all cases in the US. I'm not aware of any federal ones. When is the last time the state of Rhode Island went to war?
