卡拉知道彩票是如何运作的。每个人都知道。月经初潮的那天，女孩子要去彩票站报告，以知道自己将成为什么样的女人。抽中白票你就可以结婚生子，抽中蓝票你将获得事业和自由。这样你就不用背负二者择一的重担了。一旦你抽出了某张彩票，就不能回头了。但是，如果你抽中的生活不是自己想要的呢？

抽中蓝票的女人卡拉开始质疑自己的命运，她必须逃走。怀孕和绝望的卡拉必须面对彩票是否比她更了解自己的问题——以及这对她的孩子来说可能意味着什么。

Calla knows how the lottery works. Everyone does. On the day of your first bleed, you report to the station to learn what kind of woman you will be. A white ticket grants you marriage and children. A blue ticket grants you a career and freedom. You are relieved of the terrible burden of choice. And once you've taken your ticket, there is no going back. But what if the life you're given is the wrong one?

When Calla, a blue-

ticket woman, begins to question her fate, she must go on the run. Pregnant and desperate, Calla must contend with whether or not the lottery knows her better than she knows herself—and what that might mean for her child.
