The music video shows Latto and Lu Kala having the time of their lives in a club and in a limo throwing money all over the vehicle. Towards the end of the video, Latto is seen marrying the love of her life: a barrel of bands.
This is Latto and Lu Kala's first collaboration. The production is handled by Dr. Luke and Rocco Did It Again!
"If I let you put your hands all over me / If I let you in the sheets," Latto raps. "If I tell you all my dirty fantasies / You won the lottery, you won the lottery," Lu Kala sings in the pop hook.
"Lottery" is Latto’s first single of the year following last December’s "Another Nasty Song" and "FTCU" featuring GloRilla and the late Gangsta Boo.
Although it wasn't an official release, earlier this year Latto dropped the freestyle to SZA's "Smoking On My Ex-Pack" from her December LP SOS.
Latto dropped 777 last year which peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200. She was later nominated for two Grammys. One for Best New Artist and another Best Melodic Rap Performance for "Big Energy (Live)."
