Is it gambling to put money in a pot and then draw lots to determine who would win the pot?

Dear Gramps,
Several of the sisters of the ward get together one night a month to play bunko with other non-member sisters. They donate $10 dollars each for small gifts for the winner(s). My question is…….would this constitute gambling?
