Premios por la participación en juegos, concursos, rifas o ***combinaciones aleatorias***
Ross Parker

random number lottery
Explanation:



FROM: http://www.microsoft.com/spain/empresas/internet/jugar_nojug...

Loterías y Apuestas del Estado. Organismo encargado de la gestión de las conocidas vertientes estatales de sorteos o apuestas, tales como: quinielas, primitiva, lotería nacional, etc. Pertenece al Ministerio de Hacienda y, entre sus funciones se encuentra la de conceder autorizaciones ***para poder celebrar rifas y combinaciones aleatorias -únicas modalidades a las que puede optar una empresa privada-.***

Rifas Particulares. La posibilidad de poder optar a un premio mediante el pago de una determinada papeleta.

***Combinaciones Aleatorias. Las Combinaciones Aleatorias son una modalidad de juego a través de ++sorteo que, con fines estrictamente publicitarios de un producto o servicio, y teniendo como contraprestación el consumo del bien o servicio objeto de publicidad, ofrece sin incremento alguno de su coste ordinario, determinados ++++premios en metálico, especies o servicios.

La diferencia radica en que las ****combinaciones aleatorias deben ir aparejadas a un producto o servicio ofertado***, mientras que las rifas es un acontecimiento esporádico que permite optar a un determinado premio, sin que por ello, éste deba ir aparejado a un determinado producto ofertado.

Las Rifas a nivel nacional deben ser publicadas en el B.O.E., además de presentar una serie de documentación bastante amplia. Por el contrario, ***las combinaciones aleatorias deben presentar las bases de la promoción***. Esto significa que, todo sorteo realizado a través de las presentes modalidades deben ser autorizadas expresamente.

I rephrase: "random combination lottery"

because in this case it's about combining and not just selecting numbers.

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4692863.html
A system and an electronic apparatus for generating combinations of numbers for playing lottery games such as 6/36, 6/44 and 6/49. A keyboard allows the player to enter a series of preferred numbers from which the numbers of each combination are to be taken, and a redundancy index which determines the prize group required by the player. A processor with a memory generates combinations of numbers according to stored model combinations and a visual display informs the player of the selected mode of operation and of the status of the operation, and it displays the generated combinations. This type of device could also be decribed in a jargon term used by some lottery players as an electronic "wheeling system and apparatus". Other modes of operation are available to complement the combination generation function.

Thanks to all. I also found some informations that suggests that the idea is something along the lines of "promotional draw", which is what I've decided to use.

Maybe you could try with "miscelaneous" if you are not sure about "random". It looks like a combination o random combination of the preceding items

random numbers (picking)

Explanation:
It's referring to playing lotteries:


Antigua further fails to address differences in the object of the bet or wager that
distinguish different gambling services. For example, the distinctions between selecting random
numbers, picking winners in a race or sport, playing a table game with gambling paraphernalia,
and other forms of gambling shape consumer perceptions and influence the odds of winning,
which determine the profitability of different forms of gambling.
