In ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]'', the '''lottery''' (or '''lotto''') is a competition Sims can enter which can potentially award them with a large sum of [[Simoleon]]s.
[[File:W win the lotto.png|left]]'''Lotto''' is a lottery feature in ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. Sims can buy a lotto ticket from the [[grocery]], and the drawings are held at 7 PM every day. Buying multiple tickets will increase the chance to win. By default, Sims have 20% chance to win, and each additional lotto ticket will increase the winning chance by +0.9%.▼

There are 8 prizes that Sims can win in the lotto. The higher the amount of the prize, the less the chance to win. The chances to win prizes of §1,000 and above are modified by the Sim's traits; the [[Lucky]] trait will increase the chance of winning, while the [[Unlucky]] trait will decrease them.
Line 51 ⟶ 54:
This means that it's possible for a Sim to win up to §3,000,000 with a grand prize and level 10 of Advanced Technology skill.
Winning a lotto is necessary to earn The Renowned Philanthropist [[Business park#Legacy Statues|legacy statue]]. Once Sims win any of the lotto prizes, they must donate §50,000 at the city hall which takes 5 donations at minimum. After that, they will receive their legacy statue when they visit Oasis Landing. Earning The Renowned Philanthropist legacy statue enables Sims to give money to other Sims, which will boost their relationships. Sims will also get the "Honored Philanthropist" moodlet for +15, which will not expire while they're visiting Oasis Landing.
===Notes===
*Having the Lucky or Unlucky trait only affects which prize a Sim will win. It has no effect on whether or not the Sim will win.
*The "Insider Tip" moodlet allows Sims to win at least §5,000, by offsetting the weighted chance of winning between §50 and §1,000. Since the Lucky trait slightly increases the chance of winning §1,000, a Lucky Sim with the "Insider Tip" moodlet has a small chance of winning §1,000.
*The chance modifiers for Unlucky Sims are only relevant for those who also have the "Insider Tip" moodlet. Combined with the modifiers for the moodlet, they give Unlucky Sims a chance of winning a grand prize if they have the moodlet. Without the moodlet, the way weighting affects the game's calculation of the lotto prize makes it mathematically impossible for Unlucky Sims to win more than §100. For a discussion of this, please see [[Talk:Lotto|the talk page]].
*When a Sim wins the lottery, it will play the same tune as when a Sim gets promoted in ''The Sims 2''.

===The Sims 4: Romantic Garden Stuff===
In ''[[The Sims 4: Romantic Garden Stuff]]'', Sims can wish for [[Simoleon|simoleons]] at the [[Wishing well#The Sims 4: Romantic Garden Stuff|Whispering Wishing Well]]. If the outcome is "overwhelmingly positive", the wishing Sim receives a random amount of over §10,000 and a +2 [[happy]] [[moodlet]] stating that they have won the lottery. However this is only a moodlet: the money is randomly generated for that Sim and no lottery ticket can be purchased.
===The Sims 4: Seasons===
[[File:Ts4_lotteywin_popup2.png|thumb|A text message received after winning the lottery.]]
[[File:Holiday TS4 The Lottery.png|50px|left]] True lottery returns with ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]''. The lottery is a surprise [[holiday]] that may pop up in a household's [[calendar]] in any season. Any Sim aged [[young adult]] or older can enter by buying a ticket from their [[Telephone|phones]] or [[computer]]s, which costs §100. There is a limit of one ticket per Sim, so larger households have a better chance of winning if every Sim buys a ticket. [[Materialistic]] and [[Ambitious (The Sims 4)|ambitious]] Sims particularly enjoy the holiday.
The winner is announced at 10 A.M. the next day, and the prize is §1,000,000. Sims who win receive a +3 [[dazed]] moodlet from being overwhelmed by their new fortune. Every eligible Sim outside of the current household is considered to have entered, including homeless [[townie]]s. There is a glitch that occasionally enters [[stray]] [[pet]]s into the lottery{{Vgversion|TS4:C&D}}.
