Indian lotteries

Indian lotteries are regulated by the government. Though there are a few states that allow lotteries, Kerala was the first state to legalize them in 1967 and put a taxation system in place. This legalization allowed state governments to collect lottery fees, but it was illegal in all other states. While many illegal lotteries continue to exist, they have no legal standing.
