Lottery

A lottery is a legal process in which participants purchase tickets or entries for a chance to win a prize, often money or goods. Winning is determined by a random draw, making outcomes unpredictable. Lotteries are often used by governments or organizations to raise funds for public projects, such as education or infrastructure. While the odds of winning are typically low, the potential for large prizes attracts many participants. Importantly, lotteries are regulated to ensure fairness and transparency, and winners are usually chosen through a secure, random selection process.
