lottery is a contest where the winner gets picked just by chance. The word lottery as defined by the dictionary is “a gambling game or method for raising money”, “any scheme for the distribution of prizes by chance”, and “any happening or process that is or appears to be determined by chance”. In the lottery, people place their bets and one person is picked to be the winner. The winner gets determined by chance. Although people can earn a lot of money in lotteries, it is not a good idea to get involved in lotteries because there are more harmful effects than benefits.
