Official rulings
Two official rulings apply to The Nipton Lottery, newest first.
- The creature chosen at random isn’t targeted, so a creature with shroud or an opponent’s creature with hexproof can be chosen this way.
- Players can’t take actions between the time the creature is randomly chosen and the time at which the rest of the effects occur.
