	Game Piece (hieroglyph) The ancient Egyptian Game piece (hieroglyph), also a Token, or the general term for any ''gaming-gambling'' piece, Draughtsman is an ancient hieroglyph. Gaming pieces were certainly required in predynastic times, as the cultural creation of games and entertainment has a long history in most cultures. An ivory-piece lion is known from the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt; the set contains three lions, and three dog tokens of ivory. The Senet is recorded as the oldest boardgame in history, for which tokens are used. Use of the "game piece" hieroglyph The basic word for "Game piece" or "Draughtsman" is ''"ab"''. By implication, people on a flat arena were moving like "pieces" (from a distance), and numerous varieties of the word 'to dance' include varieties using the ''"Game piece"'', as a determinative; two examples are shown: the word 'draughtsman', and 'to dance'-(the plural of ''"ab"'', "abU"-(U being the language plural-but also the " quail chick (hieroglyph)" in Ancient Egypt). ...

	Game Piece (music) Game piece is a concept of experimental music having its roots with composers Iannis Xenakis, Christian Wolff, John Zorn and Mathius Shadow-Sky. Game pieces may be considered controlled improvisation.Brackett, John''John Zorn: Tradition and Transgression'' p.xi. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2008. . An essential characteristic is that there is no pre-arranged sequence of events. They unfold freely according to certain rules, like in a sports game. Therefore, game pieces have elements of improvisation. A number of methods can be used to determine the direction and evolution of the music, including hand gestures. Zorn's game piece "Cobra", which has been recorded several times for various labels, uses a combination of cards and gestures and can be performed by an ensemble of any size and composition. Zorn's game pieces, written in the late 1970s and mid-1980s, include '' Cobra'', ''Hockey'', ''Lacrosse'', and '' Xu Feng''. Mathius Shadow-Sky (born 1961) developed music gami ...

picture info	Lottery Ticket A lottery is a form of gambling that involves the drawing of numbers at random for a prize. Some governments outlaw lotteries, while others endorse it to the extent of organizing a national or state lottery. It is common to find some degree of regulation of lottery by governments. The most common regulation is prohibition of sale to minors, and vendors must be licensed to sell lottery tickets. Although lotteries were common in the United States and some other countries during the 19th century, by the beginning of the 20th century, most forms of gambling, including lotteries and sweepstakes, were illegal in the U.S. and most of Europe as well as many other countries. This remained so until well after World War II. In the 1960s, casinos and lotteries began to re-appear throughout the world as a means for governments to raise revenue without raising taxes. Lotteries come in many formats. For example, the prize can be a fixed amount of cash or goods. In this format, there is risk t ...
