  Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullaah.

What is the ruling on "Sweepstakes" (random drawing from a lot), also there are (maybe) two types:
1. that which one pays to get into (similar to lotteries)
2. that which there is no payment to enter into.

wallaahu a'lam.

If someone could give us more insight into this issue, Jazakumullaah khair.
