The noun 'die Ziehung' (the drawing) is derived directly from the verb 'ziehen' (to pull, to draw). The ending '-ung' turns the verb into a feminine noun that describes the action or result of drawing.
Die Ziehung der Startnummern entscheidet über die Reihenfolge.
The drawing of the starting numbers determines the order.
In the context of lotteries and competitions, 'Ziehung' (drawing) is often combined with 'der Lottozahlen' (of the lottery numbers), 'der Gewinnzahlen' (of the winning numbers), or 'der Gewinner' (of the winners). Common verbs are 'stattfinden' (to take place) or 'übertragen werden' (to be broadcast).
Die Ziehung der Gewinner findet öffentlich statt.
