Each customer draws a raffle ticket winning a prize with probability $p \in ]0,1[$. The number $N$ of tickets distributed follows a Poisson distribution with parameter $\lambda > 0$. $X$ denotes the number of winning tickets drawn during a day. Prove that $X$ follows a Poisson distribution with parameter $\lambda p$. Give the expectation and variance of $X$.
