Design & Implement a service which allows users to get Lucky Draw Raffle tickets and use one lucky draw raffle ticket to participate in a lucky draw raffle. 

- Design an API which allows users to get the raffle tickets. This API can be consumed in a lot of ways like We can call this API after the user has placed an Order. 

- Design an API which shows the next Lucky Draw Event timing & the corresponding reward. For example - Lucky Draw can run everyday at 8AM. Reward on say 10th Feb is Phone, 11th Feb is Washing Machine etc

The interview round was scheduled for 1-3 PM over Google Meet. The coding question was solved over VSCode and the problem was later shared on Pastebin. 
The interviewer was very welcoming. He focused on DSA as well as overall development concepts. He explained the questions very concisely. I remember only one DSA Question which was asked.

You are given two Singly Linked Lists of integers, which may have an intersection point.

Your task is to return the first intersection node. If there is no intersection, return NULL.


Example:-
The Linked Lists, where a1, a2, c1, c2, c3 is the first linked list and b1, b2, b3, c1, c2, c3 is the second linked list, merging at node c1.

Problem approach

1. Traverse the lists to find their lengths
2. Simply traverse the longer list and skip its initial elements till the number of elements left is equal to the length of the second list.
3 Loop through both the lists and compare if the current nodes are equal.
4. Return the node which occurs in both the lists.
