I just installed Wordpress and run on local machine everything works fine.

So I created one custom plugin under wp-content/plugins folder as like this:

<?php 
    /*
    Plugin Name: Lottery
    Description: Plugin for displaying products from an OSCommerce shopping cart database
    */

?>

So then I run the admin panel in my system the created plugin is not listed on plugins section in my administration

I do not know why its not display custom plugin. Could anyone help me out where I done the mistake or anything I want to import to display my plugin.

To display your plugin name in admin panel you have to give the following code:

    <?php 
        /*
        Plugin Name: Lottery
        Description: Plugin for displaying products from an OSCommerce shopping cart database
        */

    add_action('admin_menu', 'function_name');

    function function_name(){
       add_menu_page( 'page_title', 'menu_title', 'capability', 'menu_slug', 'function1' );
    }
    function function1(){
           /* Plugin Code */
    }
        ?>

Make sure your path where you are trying to add your plugin is correct

you can create a new folder inside plugin to make it more specific

then add a php file with same name to identify it more clearly

Add the following file and it you will be done.

<?php
   /*
   Plugin Name: Your plugin name
   Plugin URI: Your plugin url
   Description: Here goes the description
   Version: 1.0
   Author: Author name
  */

  // No direct file access
  ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) AND exit;
?>
