What does LOTTO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A game of chance in which players match numbers on a card against numbers drawn at random, often played for a lottery prize; also a children's matching game similar to bingo.
Lotto began in Italy centuries ago as a public draw run by cities to raise money, long before the same idea became the everyday state-run prize draw of today. That Italian pastime later split into two related traditions: the big prize draw familiar from national tickets, and a slower parlor pastime played with printed cards and small tokens, popular at family gatherings and church halls. English borrowed the Italian name directly, so lotto still covers both the large public draw and the quieter tabletop pastime descended from it.
