In the Lottery it talks about eight lucky people that won the lottery and have gone completly bankrupt. they win a lot, over $1 million, and  they go crazy with the money and lose all of it or they are left with under $1000. They say its becvause when they suddenly get a lot of money then they don’t know what to do with it and thats true because that is how they all go broke. This relates to the book because in the book the family doesn’t have a lot of money so the doctor turns them away. This relates to the lottery winnings because they can afford to blow all of their money on little stupid stuff while others can’t even afford to pay for a doctor.
