To dream of drawing a prize in the lottery, is a sign of poverty and misery: if you dream that you bought a lottery ticket with a majority of odd numbers on it, you may perchance be successful with those numbers, but even numbers are worthless in dreams. To dream of getting prizes in any way is a bad omen.
