used to refer to the action of rising from the depth of poverty to the highest of riches

What is the origin of the idiom "from rags to riches" and when to use it?

The idiom "from rags to riches" has been used for centuries to describe a remarkable journey of transformation and success. It originates from the contrast between poverty "rags" and wealth or prosperity "riches". It is used to describe a significant upward social or financial mobility, where someone starts with very little or in poverty and achieves remarkable success, often involving significant wealth and prosperity.

λοταρία

a game of chance where tickets with numbers or symbols are purchased, and a random selection of numbers or symbols determines the winners

What is a "lottery"?

A lottery is a game of chance where people purchase tickets with a set of numbers. At a scheduled time, a random drawing is held to select the winning numbers. The more numbers on a ticket that match the drawn numbers, the bigger the prize. Lotteries can offer large cash rewards, and some also include smaller prizes. They are often organized by governments or other authorized organizations and are usually used as a way to raise money for various causes. Players generally have to choose their numbers or have them selected randomly. The game relies purely on luck.
