What is the Lottery?
Chancing Lady Luck maybe a worthy investment. Located in the Starport, inside the Entertainment District is the Lottery House. From here you can buy tickets for the various lotteries being ran at any given time. See the terminal for information on each one.
Purchasing Tickets
Look at the console to learn details on what mech is being raffled away, the cost of each ticket, how many tickets have been sold, and when the Lotto ends. There will be a number in the lottery's description that shows the max number of tickets you may buy in that given lotto. You may then use the 
buyticket command to purchase tickets in whichever lottery you'd like.
How the Drawings are Done
At the end date, a winner is selected from all the bought tickets. If you are lucky, that unit will become yours! This unit is then yours forever like any other bought unit. You may then use it in combat as long as you wish, trade it to a faction mate, or simply sell it for something else. Winners are announced on The Frontier Times bulletin board in-game.
