Lunar new year

This year's new year vacation was just like the others, we had a dinner together with some relatives on the new year's eve and so as others activities. After the meal, some of us went to the lottery shop to purchase some scratch tickets for fun. The way we bought it was holding a fundraiser among our family and split the prize if we win. It ended up 0 net profit because an uncle decided to use the remaining funds to buy only 1 ticket with 2000NTD, and we didn't even get anything back from it. But we still have faith that we would get luckier after praying to gods.
On the first day, we visit 2 temples to pray for blessing. Not only for the fortune of course. Different from Western world's religions, most of the oriental religion has numerous gods that all of them are in charge of different fields individually. One of them I prayed the most this year is called 文昌帝君, he is the god of studying and taking test. Nearly everyone who is preparing for taking tests will pray to him. Instead of praying for luck and high score or satisfied result, I told him that all I need is self discipline. I know that I have the skill and inteligence to complete the preparation, but what really stopping me is that I got distracted easily. And I'm still seeking method to solve this issue.

I'm a bit confused of using had or have had, if you know how to make it easily understandable, please let me know. I had watch some website about it but the way they explained is unclear.
thanks for reading.

The way we bought it was holding a fundraiser among our family an. We'd split the prize if we wion.

I'm a little confused, do you mean everyone pitched in money to buy the ticket?

But we still haved faith that we would get luckier aftery praying to the gods.

I think you can use either! Had vs. have had is just past tense vs. present tense.

I had watched some website about it but the wayvideo online about self-discipline, but the explanation/solution was unclear. OR I had tried reading an article on self-discipline, but they explained isnation was pretty unclear.

Lunar nNew yYear

New Year should be capitalized.

This year's nNew yYear's vacation was just like the others,: we had a dinner together with some relatives on the nNew yYear's eEve and sos well as others activities.

Review how holidays are spelled out. Two independent clauses can't be connected with a comma.

After the meal, some of us went to the lottery shop to purchase some scratch tickets for fun.

I have never heard of lottery shops. If those exist, that's really interesting! Otherwise I would clarify that you got the tickets from a gas station or other vender.

The way we bought ithe tickets was to holding a fundraiser among our family and, splitting the prize if we wion.

I would elaborate the purchase of the tickets instead of leaving it in the air with "it". A comma makes the sentence a lot more natural. Review the tense adjustments as well.

ItWe ended upwith 0 net profit because an uncle decided to use the remaining funds to buy only 1 ticket with 2000NTD, and w. We didn't even get anything back from it.

Because you and your family were pooling in the money, you were the ones left with nothing; "it" is vague. Separate independent clauses.

But we still haved faith that we would get luckier after praying to gods.

Tense

On the first day, we visited 2 temples in order to pray for a blessing.

Tense + pronoun for blessing

Not only for the fortune of course.

Different from Western world'soccidental religions, most of the oriental religions hasve numerous gods that all of them are in charge of different fields individually.

Occidental is the inverse of oriental; using them in conjunction makes the sentence flow better. More pronoun + tense changes were also made.

One of them I prayed the most this year is called 文昌帝君,; he is the god of studying and taking tests.

Separate independent clauses; taking something in this sort of general context is almost always referred to in terms of taking multiple.

Nearly everyone who is preparing forto takinge tests will pray to him.

If you wanted to use "preparing for", then you would remove taking entirely.

Instead of praying for luck and high score or a satisfiedactory result, I told him that all I need is self discipline.

Very wise of you. Use satisfactory instead of satisfied because satisfactory means that the result makes YOU satisfied, not the other way around!

I know that I have the skill and intelligence to complete the preparation, but what's really stopping me is that I got distracted easily.

This sentence is almost perfect.

And I'm still seeking methods to solve this issue.

Because self discipline is a very multifaceted endeavor, you'll want to specify that you're seeking methods not just one method.

I'm a bit confused of usingabout how to use had or have had,; if you know how to make it easily understandable, please let me know.

As a person who has been living in America my whole life, I don't really know how to explain how to distinguish between had or have had. Some situations just call for it, so I would get a lot of appropriate sentences and gradually learn the distinction that way. I would say though that anything that has relevance to the present day calls for "have had". So like if I am really stressed about school work, I would say "I have had a really hard time with schoolwork lately" instead of "I had a really hard time with schoolwork" because it is a problem that still has an active role in my life.

I had watchbrowsed some website about it, but the way they explained it was unclear.

We browse websites; we don't watch websites. Other corrections include tense and grammar.

tThanks you for reading.

In more formal situations, such as here where you are submitting works to be corrected, it's just a tad bit better to say "thank you" instead of "thanks".

I appreciate for your assistance on my writing, it really comes in handy.
btw I know that most of you get lottery tickets from gas station or somewhere else, but there are literally lottery shops exist in Taiwan.
