    lotto
    [ noun ]
    a game in which numbered balls are drawn at random and players cover the corresponding numbers on their cards
    <noun.act>


    Lotto \Lot"to\ (l[cr]t"t[-o]), n. [F. loto or It. lotto, prop.,
    a lot; of German origin. See {Lot}.]
    A game of chance, played with cards or tickets, on which are
    inscribed numbers, and any contrivance (as a wheel containing
    numbered balls) for determining a set of numbers by chance.
    The player holding a card having on it the set of numbers
    drawn from the wheel takes the stakes after a certain
    percentage of them has been deducted for the dealer. In some
    systems, lesser prizes are awarded for having some but not
    all of the numbers selected, such as four or five numbers in
    a six-number drawing. A variety of lotto is called {keno}. In
    another variety, the player chooses the numbers for the card
    or ticket s/he holds. There may be from three to seven
    different numbers on a card or ticket. In a modern
    computerized lotto system conducted by state authorities, the
    player chooses numbers, or allows the computer to choose
    numbers at random, which are then printed on a ticket that
    the player holds until the winning number is selected. [Often
    written {loto}.]
    [1913 Webster +PJC]
