Definition
The lottery or (lotto) is a game of chance, a form of gambling
played in many countries around the world. People buy a ticket
for a small amount of money. One ticket is then chosen at
random as the winner and that person wins a huge amount of
money. Most of the time however, people don‘t win or win only
a very small amount.
