Objectives of lottery and gambling : what is prohibited in gambling, the chance or the betting ?

Fatawa Question

[Question 1] : I am living in the UK. Some of the websites (e. g. Microsoft) is doing a ‘daily draw’ which is exactly as if you are doing lottery, but you do not pay any money. If the numbers you selected coincide with the choice you might be winning £1 million. Is that gambling even you do not pay anything to play ? [Question 2] Feedback : We got a feedback to your Fatwa, where the questioner wanted to add that these web sites-which are doing “daily draws”-are gaining great profits from the advertisements. Then, does this change the previous Fatwa ?
