[ProGambler]

A lottery, sometimes known as a lotto, is a game of chance in which winning numbers are drawn at random. While some governments forbid lotteries, others support them to the point of holding a federal or state lottery. It is typical to find some sort of government regulation of lotteries.

 

[James108]

The answer isn't as simple as yes or no. In some countries, the lottery is considered a form of gambling and is regulated by the same laws that apply to casinos and other forms of gambling. In other countries, the lottery is seen as a form of entertainment and is not considered to be gambling.
