  1. LOL! good story & I love it that she's got kids to take care of.

    2 questions
    does she now have a husband?
    also, I can't believe anyone slightly young would enter the lottery if old people would be allowed to enter it - you might go from a teen to 80. is there some sort of age thing where bodies are grouped by age - or that anyone over a certain age could not be allowed to enter?

    1. Forgot to answer the first question!
      Nope. No husband for her. The single mom thing may have contributed to why she played the body lottery...

  2. I think it's a sad story... The mother just abandoned her children after all...

    eotten > It's a good question because we can imagine that, if the lottery has no rules, there will be a large majority of old and/or ugly people. I don't think a lot of beautiful person would like to trade their body if they have 90% of chance to become older and/or uglier.

    Besides, it could be interesting if the lottery bring regularly into play a beautiful and healthy body for the great price.

    1. Great idea Freakazoid on a special lottery to bring regularly into play a beautiful and healthy body for a great price.

  3. Glad you guys are reading so much into this!

    On the note of the ugly/old majority: The way I thought of this was that the company putting together the body lottery advertises something like, "Here's the possible bodies you could win!", showing off models or other beautiful people who have offered their bodies for a VERY large price.

    These people serve as the "Mega Million" of the Body Lottery that everyone hopes to get. This then evens out the ugly/old majority, putting average/above-average people in the mix of the body lottery. Does this make sense?

    1. I'm not sure... If you don't win the mega price in a lottery, you just lost a little money and you can try again later. But you said sooner that you can only play once into the lottery and, if you lost (you are in a very old/very ugly body), you're stucked.
      Your idea with the add can only work the first time but, after that, people talk and we can imagine the participation at the lottery will decrease.

    2. Maybe... but I think people love chance. People who are really dissatisfied with their life may want to take the chance regardless of the odds.

      Also - depending on the body lottery company, I could see some companies only allowing a certain amount of each age group, gender, race, etc. to participate, so there's about an equal chance of each group.
