原文及翻譯

The winnings tend to be less money, but they are extremely popular. In the United States, you can play the lottery or buy a ticket if you are 18 years or older. If you win, usually you have the option of being paid the entire amount in one lump sum or of being paid smaller amounts over a number of years. 

獎金通常較少，但非常受歡迎。在美國，如果您年滿 18 歲，您可以玩彩票或購買彩票。如果您中獎，通常您可以選擇一次性獲得全部獎金，也可以在幾年內(nèi)獲得較少的獎金。

Lottery winnings are taxable, meaning the amount you actually get is smaller than the jackpot number. People can buy lottery tickets or play the lottery at many convenience stores. Lotteries are also very popular since they advertise; there are many television commercials, radio commercials, and billboards urging people to play.

彩票獎金需要納稅，這意味著您實際獲得的獎金小于頭獎金額。人們可以在許多便利店購買彩票或玩彩票。彩票也很受歡迎，因為它們會做廣告；有許多電視廣告、廣播廣告和廣告牌鼓勵人們玩彩票。

Lotteries have been controversial since they are essentially a form of legalized gambling. There is concern that it can lead to people becoming addicted to gambling. There are also illegal lottery games, usually run by some form of organized crime.

彩票一直備受爭議，因為它們本質(zhì)上是一種合法賭博形式。人們擔心它會導致人們沉迷于賭博。還有非法彩票游戲，通常由某種有組織犯罪組織經(jīng)營。
