Polish term or phrase: gry liczbowe
Z ustawy o grach hazardowych: Prowadzenie działalności w zakresie gier liczbowych, loterii pieniężnych i gry telebingo stanowi monopol państwa.

Wydaje mi się, że i gry liczbowe i loterie pieniężne to po angielsku lottery. Jak z tego wybrnąć?

neutral  Polangmar: Lotteries come in many formats. (...) Many recent lotteries allow purchasers to select the numbers on the lottery ticket, resulting in the possibility of multiple winners. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery

  -> That's true, but if it doesn't include numbers it can also be called a Prize Draw. I would stick to the plain 'lottery' as your proposal brings little results in google. Using lottery + cash draw should show the necessary difference here and be shorter
