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.
