Each day (or each week in [[Generation II]]), a random ID number is generated; if the player has a Pokémon with the same or a similar ID, they will receive a prize. In order for a Pokémon's ID to be eligible for an award, one or more consecutive corresponding digits of the Pokémon's ID and the random ID must be the same, starting from the rightmost digit. For example, if the current lottery number is 12345, a Pokémon with the ID 12340 will not win, and one with the ID 12305 will win for matching only the last digit (except in Generations II and III, which do not give rewards for matching only one digit). Even if the player resets the game, the number for that day will still be the same. | Each day (or each week in [[Generation II]]), a random ID number is generated; if the player has a Pokémon with the same or a similar ID, they will receive a prize.

Beginning with [[Generation VII]] as a change to prevent exploiting where the player would save before talking to the receptionist and brings in a Pokémon to get a better prize should they get an inferior one, the game must be saved before the drawing of a loto ticket and cannot do multiple checks in one day even if they lose. | ||
A similar feature is present in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and Gen VII games with the [[Join Avenue#Raffle Shop|Raffle Shops]] and [[Festival Plaza#Lottery Shops|Lottery shops]] respectively. Those, however, aren't based on any factor. | A similar feature is present in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and Gen VII games with the [[Join Avenue#Raffle Shop|Raffle Shops]] and [[Festival Plaza#Lottery Shops|Lottery shops]] respectively.
