raffle winner

Drawing's chosen recipient

A raffle winner is someone whose ticket is drawn in a raffle—a lottery where numbered tickets are sold and one or more are randomly selected to win a prize.

The term appears in announcements and congratulations: The raffle winner takes home a new car.

Figuratively, it can describe anyone who benefits from luck rather than effort.
