Lottery and gambling refer to activities involving the betting of money or valuables on an uncertain outcome, typically with the expectation of winning additional money or prizes.
**Lottery** is a form of gambling that entails drawing numbers at random for a prize. Players purchase tickets or chances, and winning is based largely on luck. Lotteries are often organized by governments or authorized organizations, and funds raised may be used for various public or charitable purposes.
**Gambling**, on the other hand, encompasses a broader range of games and activities where participants bet on the outcome of events, which can include card games, sports events, and casino games. The outcomes of these games usually depend on a combination of skill and chance.

Both activities are regulated in many jurisdictions due to their potential for addiction, economic consequences, and the ethical implications of risking money on uncertain outcomes. While they can provide entertainment and generate revenue, they also carry risks related to problem gambling and financial loss.
