Can someone please explain what the land lottery is to me? I think I understand, but am not sure.

Dover Was checking ancestry.com today and found the following, in case not all interested searchers have it: Reprint of Official Drawing of Land Lottery of GA 1827 21st Day's Drawing 3/30 Fortunate Drawers: Francis J. Dover Captains District: Cross Number: 290 District: 20 County: Muscogee 42nd Day's Drawing 4/24 Fortunate Drawers: Francis J. Dover, R.S. Captains District: Cross Number: 247 District: 2 County: Troop So it looks like he drew land in two GA counties.
