The Draft Lottery is a system used in professional sports, particularly in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and National Hockey League (NHL), to determine the order in which teams select new players from the amateur draft. It aims to promote fairness by giving teams with poorer performance a better chance of securing top talent. During the lottery, a random drawing is held to assign draft picks to teams that did not qualify for the playoffs. The process involves assigning odds based on each team's win-loss record, ensuring that those with the worst records have higher chances of winning a higher draft pick.
