Many going to Bingo? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lotto

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bingo?' is the definition.
(I know that bingo can be written as lotto)

'many going to' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'many' could be 'lot' (a lot of something) and 'lot' is present in the answer.
'to' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lotto that I've seen before include "Children's game similar to bingo" , "gamble" , "National gambling game" , "Children's game, housey-housey" , "Lucky draw" .)
