The lottery number is the set of numbers that a player picks to play in the lottery. These are usually drawn at random from a pool of possible numbers, but they can also be selected by the player or picked randomly from their own personal collection.
The odds of winning a lottery prize depend on the amount of numbers that match the set of numbers chosen. If all of the numbers in the selected group match, the player wins a major prize. However, if three or fewer of the chosen numbers match, the player receives a smaller prize.
