¡Bien escrito!

 

play the Christmas Lottery drawing - You could either say "play the Christmas lottery" (if you mean to buy a ticket at any time) or "watch the Christmas lottery drawing" (if you are talking about the actual event when it is shown on television).


This is my case - Better to say either "This is what happens in my case" or "This is true in my case" or "This is the case with me".


not the most important - This is grammatically correct, but do you mean it's "not the biggest prize" (the one that has most money for the winners)?


lotteries drawing lottery drawings - In this case, "drawing" (or "draw", you can use either) is the noun, so it takes the plural form.


the person who you want to share your lottery ticket with - Lynne's correction to this sentence is the most grammatically correct, however you will also hear many people saying it this way.


Just one other thing, in English it is more common to put the currency sign before the number, for example €5, £10, $20
