Učesnici u nadmetanju ili lutriji za promociju trgovine prijavljuju se kako bi osvojili nagradu ili nagrade, stoga su mnogi učesnici u konkurenciji ili se takmiče za ograničeni broj nagrada. Ovaj tip nadmetanja je besplatan vid promovisanja robe ili usluga koje pruža preduzeće. Primer je situacija gde potrošači kupuju robu ili usluge, i time dobijaju priliku da učestvuju u lutriji i eventualno osvoje nagradu. Lutrija za promociju trgovine se može nazvati loto, takmičenje, nadmetanje ili poklanjanje. Takva takmičenja mogu biti igre na sreću (nasumično izvučena) ili veštine (sudi se po ulaznom pitanju ili prilogu), ili eventualno kombinacija oba kriterijuma.
Competition or trade promotion lottery entrants enter to win a prize or prizes, hence many entrants are all in competition, or competing for a limited number of prizes.
A trade promotion lottery or competition is a free entry lottery run to promote goods or services supplied by a business. An example is where you purchase goods or services and then given the chance to enter into the lottery and possibly win a prize. A trade promotion lottery can be called a lotto, competition, contest, sweepstake, or giveaway.
Such competitions can be games of luck (randomly drawn) or skill (judged on an entry question or submission), or possibly a combination of both.
▲People that enjoy entering competitions are known as compers. Many compers attend annual national conventions. In 2012 over 100 members of the online competitions community of lottos.com.au from around Australia met on the Gold Coast, Queensland to discuss competitions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lottos.com.au/competitions/viewthreadlite.php?tid=275933|title=NATIONAL LOTTOS MEET GOLD COAST 16TH SEPTEMBER 2012 :)|date=|publisher=Lottos.com.au|accessdate=2013-08-02}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amv7jMwbHIw&t=6s|title=Comp Queens|date=2012-09-21|publisher=Aca.ninemsn.com.au|accessdate=2013-08-02}}</ref>
