A lottery leaves everything to chance and luck and, thus, prevents Portia from voluntarily choosing the suitor she likes. She is forced by her father to accept the person who wins the lottery

Answer:
Lottery of Portia’s destiny refers to the lottery devised according to her deceased father’s will.
According to the lottery, each suitor has to choose from amongst the three caskets of gold, silver, and lead the one containing Portia’s portrait. The suitor who will choose the correct casket will win Portia’s hand in marriage.
The lottery of caskets designed by her father thus prevents Portia from exercising her freedom of choice. The suitor, who will make the right choice will win her as wife.
