Manage episode 380139431 series 3340882
We've all day-dreamed about hitting the Powerball or Mega Millions or whatever your neck of the woods calls the Lottery, but where did this all originate? It's something so engrained in our culture it's something we could assume has always been around.

Where did it come from, how did it change from its ancient inception and how have people tried to cheat the system in order to hit it big? Tune in and find out.
