彩票 for lottery, 赌钱 for gamble(with money), as far as I know, there isn't a unique Chinese gambling term like the Japanese "gacha " which apparently originated from the sound of the cranking action of a toy-vending machine, instead they tend to just refer to it as gambling.Genuinely wondering and pardon my ignorance, but what's the word for lottery in Chinese?
