I hope Jack is lucky enough to be lottery-selected into that school.
Is the above sentence OK?
Thanks. |

It sounds odd to me, but I understand what you mean.
Are there really schools that hold lotteries to select entrants?
I guess you could write: I hope Jack is lucky enough to win the lottery to get into that school. Or, ... to be selected by lottery... etc. |

There are. Very inconvenient indeed.
