Vocabulary
'raffle' vs 'lottery'
Hi,
Are these terms fully interchangeable?
e.g. are "church raffle" and "church lottery" both fine ....and mean exactly the same thing?
Or maybe one of these terms is "more general" than the other?

He perhaps should have said that nobody would ever use "church lottery" in the United States unless they were deliberately trying to be derogatory.
