Dealing with Lottery

Question
Are there any evidence from the Quran and Sunnah and from fatwa books that indicate the prohibition of dealing with lottery?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The lottery is a type of gambling, and gambling is prohibited in the Quran; because it is what is meant by maysir in it, and God knows best.
