What is the difference between the lotto and the lottery? Let's start with the definitions of both: The lotto - A random drawing with a prize going to the winner. The lottery - A random drawing with a prize going to the winner. Do these definitions sound similar? Yes, actually, they are exactly the same. There actually is no difference between the lotto and the lottery. Why, then, are there two different words for the same thing? They are synonyms. Many different words in the English language have synonyms. Synonyms are different words with the exact same meanings. Now, depending on where in the world you live, one of the two words will be more common then the other. And, there might not even be a real reason for using one word over the other. It might just simply be how it evolved. Although lotteries have been around for thousands of years, the modern lottery, as we know it today, has only really been around for less than half a century. So, depending on where in the world you live, it will be referred to as what term was used in the last few dozen years. In North America, including Canada and The United States, it's more common to refer to 노노노노노노 it as the lottery. No matter what game, including Powerball, Mega Millions, Cash 5, Lottario, Keno, or any game for that matter, it's often referred to as a lottery. In other places around the world, the word lotto is more common, especially in Europe. Take Germany, for example. In Germany, the most popular game is Lotto 6aus49. In Italy, it would be SuperenaLotto. It does not matter what you call it, though, because it is the same thing, a synonym. In some countries that refer to the game as lotto, it might even be spelled differently. Sometimes it is spelled with just one "L." Again, it doesn't matter how it is spelled because it is still the same thing. But no matter where in the world you are, it is a game where numbers are drawn at random and the winner is the person who has a ticket that matches all of the numbers drawn. Some lotteries draw the numbers live, often on TV, while others do not. The game is usually run by the country or state and the proceeds normally go to good causes that help the community, like building schools or hospitals. Major hotels make a good amount of revenue out of billing guests who didn't cancel their reservations in time, for rooms that went unused that they carelessly didn't cancel out. The hotels today look for every source of revenue they can find as our travel industry is taking quite a toll. The economy has effected our leisure travel to a point that many hotels have had to file bankruptcy. When a person makes a hotel reservation today, they are obligated to either take that room, cancel it, or pay for it. In some markets like Las Vegas, if you aren't a known gambler, they just as soon as you not take that room and they can sell it to someone else who may be a better player in their casino. That is why the hotels in Las Vegas overbook themselves, that way they can choose who they want to walk to another hotel. If a last minute casino customers walks in the door, they will sell them that room to them, and worry about the person who holds a confirmation for that room later.
In Vegas, because only a few Corporations actually have control of all the hotel rooms, it is easy to place people around to their different hotels. But, if you don't show up? You are going to be billed for that room. However, here is a secret that not a lot of people know; if you refuse to pay your credit card bill that the room was charged too, you have a good chance of them not paying the hotel. It is always worth a try to go ahead and refuse to bay the no-show penalty. Some hotels also will not bill you no-show if the hotel actually fills. Reservations are usually held until 6 pm for hotels that do not require a deposit. Hotels that require a deposit let your room go at the end of their business day which is usually around midnight. As soon as the night audit starts, the rooms go back on the market. Make sure that you understand the hotel's cancellation policy before you make the trip, or you could end up with "no room at the inn."
