Josi, in some contexts, you are 100% right. But in many contexts, it's
just a fancy name for lottery. Sometimes, for example, the sweepstakes
is related to a horse race. It's common for people in the USA to buy illegally
tickets for the Irish Sweepstakes, and I believe that it is related to a horse race or derby. |
