You know those warnings you get when you compile? Those are there for a reason.
When you're compiling this function it's probably giving you some warnings
about the variable lottery being used before it's initialized. Don't ignore
this! Lottery is a pointer, it has to point to some peice of valid memory. When
it hasn't been initialized it points to some random point in memory, and by
iterating over that and/or modifying the data being pointed to you will at best
munge you games internal structure causing numerous glitches until the game is
restarted. At worst it will cause a crash. Always initialize your data before
you use it. And pay attention to warnings your compilier gives you.
