Lotteries
A lottery is a game which people enter by selecting a set of numbers that may match those drawn later for the chance of winning money or prizes.
The largest game in the UK is the National Lottery, which is regulated by the National Lottery Commission. Other types of lotteries include raffles and scratch cards.
Raffles – a game often held to raise money for charity, in which numbered tickets are drawn from a container holding all the numbers sold. People holding the tickets that match the numbers drawn win prizes.
Scratch cards – tickets you scratch to find out if you have won a prize. These are sold in newsagents and supermarkets.
