Lottery-based Selection

Lottery-based selection is a process where choices are made randomly among qualified options, similar to drawing names from a hat. Each candidate's chance of being selected is proportional to their "ticket" count or probability assigned. This method is often used to ensure fairness when multiple individuals meet criteria, giving each an equal or weighted chance without bias. It's commonly used in contexts like assigning limited resources, admission lotteries, or decision-making scenarios where randomness helps balance fairness and opportunity.
