Tradition reads a lottery as the hope that chance can solve what effort has not. It speaks of longing for a sudden turn, and of how much you leave to forces outside your hands. Winning in a dream is usually read as a wish for recognition, relief or freedom rather than any promise of money. Losing, or holding a ticket that almost matches, is linked to disappointment and the feeling of near misses. Buying ticket after ticket points to waiting for luck instead of acting. It can help to ask what you are hoping might change without your having to choose it.

My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
