The Pokémon Lottery Corner (Japanese: ポケモンくじ抽選コーナーPokémon Lottery Drawing Corner) or the Loto-ID (Japanese: IDくじID Lottery) is a feature in the Generation II, III, IV, VI, VII, and VIIIcore series games that gives the player a periodic opportunity to receive a reward for owning a Pokémon with a certain OTID number. The Loto-ID is held at the at the Loto-ID Center (Japanese: IDくじセンター抽選コーナーID Lottery Center Drawing Corner).
Each day (or each week in Generation II), a random ID number is generated; if the player has a Pokémon with the same or a similar ID, they will receive a prize. In order for a Pokémon's ID to be eligible for an award, one or more consecutive corresponding digits of the Pokémon's ID and the random ID must be the same, starting from the rightmost digit. For example, if the current lottery number is 12345, a Pokémon with the ID 12340 will not win, and one with the ID 12305 will win for matching only the last digit (except in Generations II and III, which do not give rewards for matching only one digit). Even if the player resets the game, the number for that day will still be the same. Beginning with Generation VII as a change to prevent exploiting where the player would save before talking to the receptionist and brings in a Pokémon to get a better prize should they get an inferior one, the game must be saved before the drawing of a loto ticket and cannot do multiple checks in one day even if they lose.
A similar feature is present in Black 2 and White 2 and Gen VII games with the Raffle Shops and Lottery shops respectively. Those, however, aren't based on any factor.

Generation II
- Main article: Radio in the Pokémon world → Lucky Number Show
In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Lucky Number Show is part of the Lucky Channel, a radio program broadcast on channel 8.5 in Johto. Each Friday, a random ID number is generated and then broadcast on the Lucky Channel throughout the following week. The player can bring a Pokémon with an ID number matching that week's lucky number to a receptionist on the ground floor of the Goldenrod Radio Tower to receive a prize. When the receptionist is spoken to, the IDs of all Pokémon in the player's party and in the currently selected Box of the Pokémon Storage System are checked for matches, and a prize is awarded if one is found. The player can speak to the receptionist to check for matches multiple times in one week, but once a prize has been received, the player will not be able to participate again until after the lucky number changes at the start of the next Friday.
Quotes
- If the player has not drawn a lottery ticket that day
- If the player loses
- 'Nope, none of your ID numbers match.'
- If the player wins
- If last two digits match
- 'Ooh, you've matched the last two numbers. You've won third prize, a PP Up.
- If last three digits match
- 'Hey! You've matched the last three numbers! You've won second prize, an Exp.Share!'
- If all digits match
- 'Wow! You have a perfect match of all five numbers! We have a grand prize winner! You have won a Master Ball!
- When talking to the receptionist again after drawing a ticket
- 'Please come back next week for the next Lucky Number.'
Generation III
In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the lottery is part of the Pokémon Lottery Corner on the ground floor of the Lilycove Department Store, where it is conducted by the right receptionist. The winning ID number changes daily, and the game looks for matches by examining the IDs of all Pokémon in the player's party and in all PC Boxes (but not Pokémon in the Day Care). The player may only check for matches once a day, and this occurs at the same time that they are told what the winning ID is.

- When talking to the receptionist again after drawing a ticket
- 'Please come back tomorrow.'
Generation IV
In Generation IV, the winning ID number is determined using the same mechanic as mass outbreaks and Great MarshPokémon. Therefore, players in the same group will have the same winning number on any given day, and resetting the game will not change the day's winning number, unlike in Generation III.
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the lottery is part of the Pokémon Lottery Corner on the ground floor of the Jubilife TV building, where it is conducted by a receptionist named Felicity. The winning ID number changes daily, and the game looks for matches by examining the IDs of all Pokémon in the player's party and in all PC Boxes (but not Pokémon in the Day Care). In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the player may only check for matches once a day, and this occurs at the same time that they are told what the winning ID is. This is changed in Pokémon Platinum so that the player may check for matches multiple times in one day; however, after winning a prize, they may not participate again for the rest of the day.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Felicity and the Pokémon Lottery Corner appear on the ground floor of the Goldenrod Radio Tower; the lottery in these games works the same way that it does in Platinum.
Quotes

Generation VI
In Pokémon X and Y, the Loto-ID is at the Loto-ID Center on Estival Avenue in Lumiose City, where it is conducted by the front receptionist. The winning ID number changes daily, and the game looks for matches by examining the IDs of all Pokémon in the player's party and in all PC Boxes (but not Pokémon in the Day Care). Although the number remains the same throughout the day, the player may check for matches multiple times in one day until they win a prize, after which they may not participate again for the rest of the day.
The Pokémon Lottery Corner on the ground floor of the Lilycove Department Store makes a reappearance in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Aspects in Need of Investigation
- Is there a better, non-generation-specific name for this feature than 'ID number lottery'?
- The note about matching four digits in GSC is purely hypothetical and needs to be confirmed.
- In Generation III, does the game search the entire PC system for a match or only the currently selected PC box?
- It is assumed that, if a player has more than one Pokémon with a matching ID, the game will select the one whose ID has the most matching digits, and if there is a tie, it will use whichever one comes first in the player's party or PC system. However, this has not been rigorously tested. —Minimiscience
Name
I stumbled upon this page, and so far i think it's good. But isn't it called the 'Lotto?' That, IMO, is better than 'ID Number Lottery' Focus58 16:55, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- Where is it called that? In both Generation III and IV, it takes place at the 'Pokémon Lottery Corner,' where you draw 'Loto [sic] Tickets.' In Generation II, it's just the 'Lucky Number Show.' Now that I've looked it up, it seems that 'Pokémon Lottery Corner' would make the best title.. —Minimiscience 17:42, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Somewhat comfimed
Blackjack side bets. I play pearl and I have gotten mutilble pokemon from my friend, and I have won with some of his pokemon and It said the name of whatever pokemon was first in my party OR in a pc box. BTW the numbers were from my weather trioTruthseeker4449 19:00, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Glitch?
When receiving a Lucky Number prize in Gold, it said that I had an Azumarill that matched.. and gave me a prize. I never had an Azumarill. Yoshidude56 01:14, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

This is the same concept as the one on Estival Avenue in Lumiose City, yeah? ~たかはりい 06:01, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Technically, some numbers are slightly more likely to win than others because the ID numbers go from 00000 to 65535 instead of 00000 to 99999, but doing a weighted average shows that it evens out. --Abcboy (talk) 04:01, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Move
I think this should be moved to Loto-ID, because
- it's the most recent name, the last two generations didn't have a 'Lottery Corner',
- this is more about the mechanic anyway (rather than a location).
