State lottery in Venice was proposed in 1712 and materialised in conditions quite different to those when it appeared in the Apennine Peninsula. While passion and the buying power of people who wanted to try their luck in games of chance were large in the 16th century, just before the outbreak of the Second Morean War that was not the case any more. Poverty that struck allsocial strata left its mark on the interest in lottery. The same fact made the Senate intervene to ensure larger income. Venetian authorities used the experience of other Italian states – primarily of Genoa. A new model was used to organise a draw announced in 1714. The draw organised in 1715 is documented in materials of British provenance, giving a new insight into the organisation of this model of games of chance in Venice. After that, lotto was not drawn for several decades and some scientists see the imminent Second Morean War as a prime reason.
