The idea behind The Lottery quickly becomes apparent in the prologue. You pick one number between 1 and 6. If you pick, say, 4 and the number 4 comes up, you're toast. If you pick another number, you win a fortune. Like Russian Roulette. Would you play? I created a world where such a game is an attractive option for the most desperate.
