Question
Hello Rabbi, is participation in lotteries permitted? Gambling like Lotto, which involves a number draw, or alternatively Toto, where unfortunately Jews also play on Shabbat, or is participation in any gambling at all a violation of the prohibition 'do not divine'?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
Lotto - there is no prohibition.
Toto - prohibited, as it supports those who desecrate Shabbat.
There is no prohibition of 'do not divine' in gambling.
