Campaign girl Miku Ishitani (R) displays sample lottery tickets as people (background) queue up to purchase tickets for the “Green Jumbo Lottery” as the first tickets go on sale in Tokyo on February, 2014. Lotteries originated in Japan in the 1600s. They were banned and resurrected several times until being banned entirely in 1842. After more than a hundred years of absence, the Japanese love for gambling could no longer be restrained and lotteries were finally revived in 1945. Takara-kuji lotteries were used to rebuild the country and help stave off rapidly escalating inflation. (Photo by Yoshikazu Tsuno/AFP Photo)
