Worth remembering &quot;lottery&quot; also derives from Genoa&#x27;s &quot;lotto&quot;, which was betting on public elections were 5 members of the Great Council were drawn out of a 90 candidates pool.

If anyone hasn’t seen Conclave I really recommend it. It seems so boring, but my girlfriend and I were fascinated the whole movie.

I remember The Bugle podcast doing a bit about this back in 2013. Didn’t realize this was an actual thing.

A papal conclave could be understood as a contest led by votes making it illegal.
