The 3 most traded ASX 200 shares by volume this Wednesday

Lottery Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLC)

First up today is a newcomer to this list in Lottery Corporation. This Wednesday has had a significant 19.98 million Lottery Corp shares traded on the share market thus far. There's been no news out of Lottery Corp today.

But the ASX 200 company did hold its annual general meeting yesterday. Perhaps investors liked what they heard because Lottery Corp shares are up a healthy 2.24% to $4.57 apiece today. Perhaps this is why we are seeing the high volumes that we are.

Whitehaven Coal Ltd (ASX: WHC)

Next up today is the ASX 200 coal miner Whitehaven Coal. Whitehaven has seen a chunky 23.38 million shares change hands as it currently stands. Whitehaven issued a guidance update today, probably the source of the elevated trading volumes we are witnessing.

The company has told investors to temper their expectations over FY2023, with flooding affecting several of the miner's sites. Whitehaven shares are down close to 10% today at $8.52 a share.

Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX: EVN)

Our final share today is the ASX 200 gold miner Evolution Mining. This Wednesday has seen a whopping 25 million Evolution shares dug up and sold. All ASX gold miners are having a stellar day on the markets today, thanks in most part to higher gold prices.

Evolution has been one of the biggest beneficiaries, banking an 8.8% gain to $2.34 a share. Such a large rise is probably behind Evolution taking out the top spot on this list today.
