A lot (two words) is an informal phrase meaning "many." It can take an adjective, for example, "a sizeable lot."
Example: Karl needed a lot of time for the job.
Allot means "to distribute between or among." It has the same root as lottery.
Example: He allotted three breaks a day to everyone in the department.
Alot does not exist as a word.

It's two words, "a lot".
Unless you're talking about how to ration out a limited substance ... in that case, there is a word "allot" with two L's. For example, "How do relief workers allot food supplies to the refugees?"
I bet this is a lot more than you wanted to know, right? :D

It is two words, many do write it as one. It helped me to understand that lot is considered a unit of measurement like cup, bushel, pint, gallon.....a cup, a bushel, a pint, a gallon.....a lot...
