English term

draw 3

English to Portuguese Other Gaming/Video-games/E-sports
Not a lot of context.

"Lottery Label - Lottery three times"

That's all there is. Probably a button.

Thank you and happy new year :)

Explanation For non-Portuguese speakers: Travelling on the mayo comes from a Brazilian expression 'viajar na maionese' which means that, thinking of something very far-fetched.
Paul Dixon Jan 1, 2022:
Another possibility Travelling on the mayo quite a bit, thought of another possibility which could be a machine (with or without a button) where you press something (could be a lever, for example) for things to come out, you 'draw' (remove) them from the container; could be Zona Azul (parking cards that have largely replaced meters here), stamp books (in the UK), condoms (there are condom distribution machines in bathrooms in the UK) or whatever. This is quite a bit over the top and can't see it as the answer, but shows the importance of context.

Escolher 3

More context is definitely needed. Draw could be a stage in a lottery, the lottery itself (There will be a prize draw, the top prize being an air ticket to Rio), as also what Usonians call a tie (in the football pools), or the drawing of a ticket, number or something, also common in football (West Ham have been drawn against Premier League opposition in their next cup tie - interestingly 'tie' here does not mean a draw (result) but a pairing in a cup competition - this is derived from the 'selection' meaning as the names of the teams are drawn (removed) from a special receptacle.

So more context would be needed.

My answer suggests a button where there is, say, a e-pack of cards in the machine and on pressing the button (assuming it is a button) three cards are drawn (selected). In the gas-lit past when I was young, Shopping Ibirapuera had a tarot machine like this. You pressed a button and ten (I think) tarot cards were drawn and displayed on the screen. I tried it once for curiosity and one of my cards was 'Death'.

The receptacle used in the FA Cup was traditionally a hat. Even today we still hear 'the first team drawn from the hat was Liverpool'.
