====Gravity Pick====
A gravity pick machine has a chamber with rotating paddles inside, spinning in opposite directions. Numbered balls are dropped into the chamber and mixed until a sliding door opens, allowing the desired number of balls to pass through, one at a time.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Team |first=How It Works |date=2014-01-22 |title=How do lottery machines work? |url=https://www.howitworksdaily.com/how-do-lottery-machines-work/ |access-date=2023-10-26 |website=How It Works |language=en-GB}}</ref> Machines of this type are used in many games, such as the American games [[Mega Millions]], [[Powerball]] and [[Cash4Life]], and the pan-European game [[EuroMillions]].

A similar method is used to draw numbers from a manually operated [[Bingo (U.S.)|bingo]] cage; a weighted cup catches the ball, which drops it onto the tray as the cage is rotated. This variant was at one time used by the [[Pennsylvania Lottery]], the [[New Jersey Lottery]], and the [[Illinois Lottery]]; in this variant, a cover is placed strategically, so as to obscure extra balls drawn beyond the number called for by the game matrix.
