It is a 'lottery prize'. What kind of name did you think it might have?

No, sorry to make confusion. I meant how people name winners at 1st, 2nd, 3rd places...etc, e.g runner up for the second place winner.

It applies to all contests, but I am not sure whether lottery is a contest.

1st -- Winner
2nd -- First runner up
3rd -- Second runner up

Thanks Gray. For me, lottery is something that shouldn't be considered as a contest, it's something like a game of random luckiness.

Mr. Alan and Mr. M, do you know how people name the prizes of a lottery game? or or it's just simple by saying 1st, 2nd, 3rd as Gray suggested?

Lotteries are generally not so simple nowadays. If you hit all the numbers, then you win the 'jackpot', but then there are usually a number of winners with, say, 5 of the 6 numbers drawn or 4 of the 6 numbers drawn. I don't think they give out a simple 1st, 2nd. 3rd anymore.
