       2. In most, if not all of the United States, lotteries not specially 
  authorized by the legislatures of the respective states are prohibited, and 
  the persons concerned in establishing them are subjected to a heavy penalty. 
  This is the case in Alabama, Connecticut Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, 
  Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode

  In many of the states, the lotteries authorized by other states, are 
  absolutely prohibited Encycl. Amer. h.t.
