The theme of Social Games, due to its scope, allows a very rich approach to the history of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa that received in 1783, by royal decree of Queen D. Maria I, the concession of Lotteries, a social game that constituted at the time a fundamental support of the care provided by the institution for the most unprotected.
The first and current Lottery Extraction Room are visited and historical documents related to the game are presented.
