The Lottery is a feature in Shadow Hearts. If you have a Lottery Ticket, you can talk to different 'lottery members' (NPCs across the game world), and play the Lottery.
Playing the Lottery
When you have a Lottery Ticket, which are found either on the ground, in chests, or after defeating certain enemies, and you have talked to a lottery member, a Judgement Ring appears on the screen, with four hit areas - Red, Yellow, Blue and Green. The idea is to press x to slow down the ring, and to get a certain item by hitting one of the hit areas. Red is the best, then Yellow, then Blue, then Green, and if you miss you get Tissues (Which are actually needed in one of the Sidequests). Generally, you want to aim for the Red.
Members + Prizes
A list of the Different Lottery NPCs and their prizes, plus recommendations. Maybe a list of where to get the tickets in the future. The Lottery played in Covenant & From The New World, comes with an added difficulty. The status of the Judgement Ring will vary depending on the Lottery Member your playing with. It could be set at normal speed, fast speed, have narrow areas or even be invisible!

Some rings are Invisible, but I don't have which ones, so just equip a pocket watch before each one to make sure you don't mess up. If you're really serious, you should save before each lottery, but you should save an anyway before important ones like the 10 Gauge or Crucifix.

| BLUE | Daphne Fruit |
| GREEN | Mana Root |

- Ring: Reverse
Prizes:
| RED | Explosion |
| YELLOW | Belly Warmer |
| BLUE | Fruity Fiber |
| GREEN | Thera Extract |

| GREEN | Mana Extract |
| MISS | Tissues |
