In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Lucky Number Show is part of the Lucky Channel, a {{DL|Pokégear|radio}} program broadcast on channel 8.5 in Johto. Each Friday, a random ID number is generated and then broadcast on the Lucky Channel throughout the following week. The player can bring a Pokémon with an ID number matching that week's lucky number to a receptionist on the ground floor of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to receive a prize. When the receptionist is spoken to, the IDs of all Pokémon in the player's party and in the currently selected Box of the [[Pokémon Storage System]] are checked for matches, and a prize is awarded if one is found. The player can speak to the receptionist to check for matches multiple times in one week, but once a prize has been received, the player will not be able to participate again until after the lucky number changes at the start of the next Friday.

In {{g|X and Y}}, the lottery, called the '''Loto-ID''' (Japanese: '''ＩＤくじ''' ''ID Lottery''), is at the Loto-ID Center on Estival Avenue in [[Lumiose City]], where it is conducted by the front receptionist. The winning ID number changes daily, and the game looks for matches by examining the IDs of all Pokémon in the player's party and in all PC Boxes (but not Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Day Care}}). Although the number remains the same throughout the day, the player may check for matches multiple times in one day until they win a prize, after which they may not participate again for the rest of the day.
