中奖 (zhòng jiǎng) — to win a prize (in a lottery, raffle, or contest of chance)
Definition
中奖 (zhòng jiǎng) specifically means winning a prize by chance — a lottery ticket, raffle, or drawing. Unlike 获奖 (winning an award for merit), there's no skill involved; compare 抽奖, which is the act of drawing, not winning.
