No game would ever use the word lottery, they only ever call them gacha or pulls.
Genuinely wondering and pardon my ignorance, but what's the word for lottery in Chinese? I know in English we obviously have different words for luck-based games or gambling (Lottery = buying the tickets, gacha = loanword from Japanese about the random toy you get from a capsule IRL or a paid lootbox in a game, etc) but does Chinese have its own words for those kinds of things or did they take 'gacha' like we did from Japanese?

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.

Thank you very much! Just to make sure, 赌钱 would refer to gambling games, like bets, blackjack or other casino things, that sort of thing?

Interesting, thanks for the info. Does that mean they use the word gamble or lottery in Chinese gacha games like Genshin?
