'Gezogen' (drawn/pulled) is the past participle of the verb 'ziehen' (to pull/draw). Since 'ziehen' has many meanings, such as moving something, raising, or drawing, 'gezogen' also has different meanings depending on the context.
Die Gewinnzahlen werden jeden Samstag live gezogen.
The winning numbers are drawn live every Saturday.
You can recognize which meaning 'gezogen' (drawn/raised) has from the noun. A 'gezogene Waffe' (drawn weapon) is ready to fire, a 'gut gezogenes Kind' (well-raised child) is well brought up, and 'gezogene Zahlen' (drawn numbers) are the result of a lottery.
Die frisch gezogenen Karotten aus dem Garten schmecken am besten.
Freshly pulled carrots from the garden taste best.
The phrase 'mit gezogener Waffe' (with weapon drawn) is a fixed expression. It describes someone holding a firearm in their hand, ready to shoot.
Der Bankräuber bedrohte die Angestellten mit gezogener Pistole.
The bank robber threatened the employees with a drawn pistol.
The expressions 'gut gezogen' (well raised) or 'schlecht gezogen' (badly raised) for 'gut/schlecht erzogen' (well/badly brought up) often sound somewhat old-fashioned today. They are more likely to be found in literature or when deliberately choosing a traditional style.
Seine höfliche Art zeigte, dass er ein gut gezogener junger Mann war.
His polite manner showed that he was a well-raised young man.
In this meaning, 'gezogen' (drawn) is used almost exclusively in connection with lotteries, raffles, or other drawings. Typical nouns are 'Zahlen' (numbers), 'Lose' (tickets), or 'Gewinner' (winners).
Alle gezogenen Lose nehmen an der Endverlosung teil.
All drawn tickets will take part in the final drawing.
selected
'ausgewählt' and 'gezogen' can both mean that something has been chosen from a larger group. The difference lies in the type of selection. 'ausgewählt' sounds like a conscious decision: someone chooses something because it fits or is especially good. 'gezogen' is used for a drawing or lottery, when the result is determined by chance. The words can be confused because in both cases, only certain numbers, tickets, or people are left in the end. If someone decides, you are more likely to say 'ausgewählt'; if chance decides, you are more likely to say 'gezogen'.
