[Victorious Decepticons]

Does your nation have a lottery? No!
If not, Did it ever? And reason for ending it?

No. It has always been known that we Decepticons would be far too corrupt for us to run a successful lottery. People would surely bribe the officials to make their numbers come in. The officials, being proper Decepticons just like the rest of the people, would take the bribe of the highest bidder and rig the result without the slightest hesitation.

Bribery is a known method of practicing the Decepticon Way and is therefore legally enshrined as an activity that cannot be banned except in "extreme circumstances." Qualifying circumstances are along the lines of trading secrets to a national enemy. Rigging a lottery is not extreme.

Therefore, we have never had a lottery.

As a side note, we don't get rid of corrupt officials because we insist that our government people hold the same mindset and values as the rest of the populace. The populace is made up of conniving space pirates. Cop-like, anti-corruption, holier-than-thou types are our natural enemies - we certainly won't allow them in the government! Instead, our officials must protect the Decepticon Way at all costs, even though that means that we have to forego some things in order to keep from being brought to ruin by our own corruption levels (like simply not having a lottery or any kind of fiat currency, rather than trying to "stop fraud" in the usual ways).

[Frenequesta]

Does your nation have a lottery? There is no national lottery; the states of Coppland, East Jorgen, Trumpor, Oskhammer, and Zappora do, but East Jorgen, Trumpor, and Oskhammer use a common lottery system, while Coppland and Zappora have their own systems. The other states are still debating whether to have a lottery there but there is dispute over what the money should be used for and in some there is a general feeling that lotteries are not "real" gambling (especially in Southern Frenequesta which has its casinos on the Marshall Boardwalk in Neue Bayreuth, including The Easy Winners).
If not, Did it ever? And reason for ending it? (stop here if your nation never had nor has a lottery) Joplinia-Lambscott ran a lottery during the PDB era that was supposed to fill the gap made by lower taxes. It raised less money than we thought because people weren't winning enough, and when we reformed it to where winning was more likely, we had even less money from it. It was eventually seen as a failure and abandoned in 2200.

How many lottery games are you offering/did offer? The common lottery in East Jorgen, Trumpor, and Oskhammer has Pick-3, Pick-4, Pick-6, "Word Salad," (this complicated lottery draws words instead of numbers, based off of frequency in the English language, with rarer words having a higher potential payout (German, Chinese, and Equestrian versions have yet to be developed)), "MoneyMoneyMoney," and "Crazy Fortune" games. (That makes six.) Coppland and Zappora's systems are similar, but Zappora omits Pick-4 and has Pick-10, and Coppland does not have the "Word Salad" game and instead has "Symbols and Signs" (which is like word salad in the sense that it does not use numbers but mimics instead a slot machine). There are also periodic novelty lotteries that go in and out, but these six are the standards.
What is its/their starting jackpot? In the "MoneyMoneyMoney" game the jackpot starts at one hundred thousand new syncs; in the "Crazy Fortune" game the jackpot starts at one million new syncs. "Word Salad" has a jackpot that only pays out if the words drawn can form a coherent sentence, and that starts at ten thousand new syncs. Otherwise, it and all the other games pay fixed amounts.
Is there a maximum it can go before it can't go any higher? There is none.
What was the largest jackpot ever won in your nation? In Frenequesta proper one Dylan Waylon Wright won 120 million new syncs on the common system's "Crazy Fortune" game.
What is the minimum age to buy a ticket? Coppland and Zappora have theirs at 16, but only for the smaller games such as Pick-3 and Pick-4, otherwise the legal age is 18--and that is also the minimum age for all games in the common lottery of East Jorgen, Trumpor, and Oskhammer.
Is there a maximum age? If so, what age? No
Are only citizens allowed to buy tickets/claim prizes? No.
Are foreign visitors (tourists, diplomats etc) allowed to buy tickets/ claim prizes? Yes, though this might change soon due to some tax collection problems.
Can you buy/claim online? Yes, in fact it is the most common way.
Can you buy with a credit card/other non-cash methods? Yes, but there is a nationally-mandated 50% premium with a credit card so to discourage people from gambling on credit.
Is the lottery(ies)run by a government or private company? The common lottery used in East Jorgen, Trumpor, and Oskhammer are run by a semi-governmental corporation that is based in Ost Sempach, the capital of Oskhammer. Coppland recently privatized its lottery system (though it still has the largest equity ownership in the company that runs it) and Zappora's is run directly by the state.
Are your lotteries payed out in Annuity, Cash or either? Either for the larger games, for smaller lump-sum only.
Are lottery winnings taxed? There is a special tax for games larger than Pick-4, at 45% for lump-sum, 40% for annuity. Smaller games are counted as "wages and income" for some reason.
How often are the drawings (once a year, twice a year, twice a week etc)? The "pick" drawings are done every day; the "Word Salad"/"Signs and Symbols" games, the "MoneyMoneyMoney" game, and the "Crazy Fortune" games are drawn once a week.
What is the revenue used for? Education, Public Transport, and other public works are the most common.
Any other lottery facts about your nation that are worth mentioning? In the games with numbers, people not only pick the numbers but also may separately guess the average, median, mode (numbers are commonly replaceable) and standard deviation of the set of numbers and may also collect for guessing the average within one point, the standard deviation within one quarter of a point, and the median and mode exactly. These numbers do not need to be consistent with the numbers that the person has guessed. Only Zappora actually publishes the actual statistics--in the others it's left to the person to do the math once the drawing concludes, who then sends a claim to the lottery office.

[Apiatica]

[Gelant]

Does your nation have a lottery? Yes, but it is not present everywhere. Some divisions do not allow lotteries. Most of them do, however.
If not, Did it ever? And reason for ending it? (stop here if your nation never had nor has a lottery) N/A

How many lottery games are you offering/did offer? There is one national lottery game, but millions of lotteries exist outside the national lottery system as each division can choose to have its own lottery alongside the national one. The national lottery game, Hekz, has a grid of 25 hexagons. For 25 days, a lottery player will scratch off a hexagon on the grid and reveal a hexadecimal digit (In Gelaneze, hexadecimal goes like so: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B E G H). Once all 25 digits are revealed, the lottery player goes to the national lottery website (http://www.hekz.gov.gel/) and types in the hexadecimal code from the lottery ticket, as well as an email address. At the end of that month, a short program will air on all TVs in Gelant showing the winning code and the winner is sent an email with a link to claim their prize money.
What is its/their starting jackpot? The jackpot starts at 1,000 Gulbe`i.
Is there a maximum it can go before it can't go any higher? Yes. It was instated one year when the government almost went bankrupt because the jackpot had somehow been raised to a whopping 1,000,000,000 Gulbe`i. No wonder the economy is crap right now. We set the limit for the jackpot at 100,000 Gulbe`i.
What was the largest jackpot ever won in your nation? See above.
What is the minimum age to buy a ticket? You must be at least 18 years old to purchase a lottery ticket.

Are foreign visitors (tourists, diplomats etc) allowed to buy tickets/ claim prizes? Only foreign diplomats and citizens are allowed to purchase Hekz lottery tickets.
Can you buy/claim online? You can claim online, but you cannot purchase the tickets and play online.
Can you buy with a credit card/other non-cash methods? No. Due to the possibility of fraudulence, tickets must be bought with cash upfront, hence why you cannot purchase the tickets online.
Is the lottery(ies) run by a government or private company? The Hekz lottery is run by the national government. Other lotteries may be operated by division governments. Private companies are not allowed to run lotteries.
Are your lotteries payed out in Annuity, Cash or either? It depends on the size of the lottery and the amount of Gulbe`i in the national treasury.
Are lottery winnings taxed? Technically, yes. Once the jackpot is won, the winner can choose a certain amount of their winnings to put towards the next jackpot, but they cannot put more than the starting jackpot.
How often are the drawings (once a year, twice a year, twice a week etc)? Monthly.
What is the revenue used for? The revenue is put towards the national treasury.
Any other lottery facts about your nation that are worth mentioning? Nope.

[Syadei]

Our nation does not have a lottery. Nobody needs to be extremely wealthy.

[TURTLESHROOM II]

How many lottery games are you offering/did offer?

There are countless private lotteries in TurtleShroom, and one technically state-run enterprise. The TurtleShroomer State Board of Gaming and Vice Lottery Institution (TSSBGVLI) is a private company chartered by the state in order to raise revenue for the state. (The TSSBGVLI is not the largest lottery in TurtleShroom, not by a long shot.)
Many private companies using the truck system have lotteries for their company stores, where the winner can receive actual shares in the company and enough Scrip (private currencies) to retire and live there without work.
One TSSBGVLI ticket costs two Skillets ($0.50 USD). Half of that is placed in the lottery trust, and the other half goes straight to the government. All other lotteries set their own rules and proportion into the trust versus personal revenue.

What is its/their starting jackpot?

It depends on the private company, but the TSSBGVLI starts at one hundred thousand Skillets ($25,000 USD).

Is there a maximum it can go before it can't go any higher?

The TSSBGVLI, in accordance with its bylaws, cannot have a jackpot exceeding one billion Skillets ($250,000,000 USD). There are no regulations on private lotteries.

What was the largest jackpot ever won in your nation?

The largest jackpot in TurtleShroom was two billion seven hundred thousand twelve Skillets ($500,175,003 USD).

What is the minimum age to buy a ticket?

There is none.

Are only citizens allowed to buy tickets/claim prizes?

No, but tourists' and foreigners' winnings are subject to tariffs if the money is shipped out of the country.

Are foreign visitors (tourists, diplomats etc) allowed to buy tickets/ claim prizes?

See above.

Can you buy/claim online?

No. Paper only.

Can you buy with a credit card/other non-cash methods?

Some truck system companies maintain a lottery in Scrip (see first question), but otherwise, no, it's all in cash.

Is the lottery(ies)run by a government or private company?

See the first question.

Are your lotteries payed out in Annuity, Cash or either

It is the choice of the winner, or dictated in accordance with the bylaws of the lottery in question.

Are lottery winnings taxed?

Yes. All income is taxed at not more than ten percent flat. (The income tax rate fluctuates on an index based on the amount of government spending at any given time. If it ever exceeds ten percent, any further taxation readings on the NS Canon's statistic page indicates a sales tax on consumption.)

How often are the drawings (once a year, twice a year, twice a week etc)?

It depends entirely on the bylaws of the lottery company. The TSSBGLVI runs quarterly, but if it cannot draw winners by the second quarter, it begins to draw daily until a winner is shown. All other lotteries set their own rules.

What is the revenue used for?

The TSSBGLVI revenue is used both for the general expenses of the state and various donations to secular charities, as well as helping to fund the mental health system.

[Ventalia]

Does your nation have a lottery? There are multiple lotteries run by several regional lottery companies.

What is the revenue used for? Profits are largely used to fund social programs as mentioned earlier.
Any other lottery facts about your nation that are worth mentioning?
