Contains info about an ongoing [giveaway](https://core.telegram.org/api/giveaways).

If neither the `participating`, `joined_too_early_date`, `admin_disallowed_chat_id` or `disallowed_country` flags are set, the user is not currently participating in the giveaway but could participate by joining all the channels specified in the [messageMediaGiveaway](../constructors/messageMediaGiveaway.html).`channels` field.
