lottos
State gambling games
Lottos is the plural of lotto, a game of chance in which players select numbers hoping to match those drawn randomly for prizes.
The term covers both government-run lottery games and informal versions played at social gatherings.
She plays the lottos every week, buying tickets for Powerball and Mega Millions.
The word derives from Italian and shares roots with lottery, though lotto typically refers to specific number-matching formats rather than all games of chance.
