This go over the notification character limit, so I dump it here.

JP (p_jasmine_p) had sent in this earlier but Kayla forgot to transmit the message. I really like the little notes she made. I'm considering making this mandatory for next year award.

Anyhow, without further preface, here's the message:

****I apologize for some of my unprofessionalism in a few of these... my personality came out in a few of these. Some of these reads had me feeling some type of way. Haha. If there's anything that needs further clarification, let me know!

Comment: Seeing the title, the first thing you think of is, "the lottery?" After I read the summary, I found it was about the lottery. Haha. It was a very creative idea to write this! It reminds me of that Jimmy Neutron movie.

Judge's note: I really enjoyed judging these assigned short stories. I don't even like using the word "judge" because it seems more negative than that. So, I really enjoyed reading each and every one of these individual's writings. Everyone on this app has been nothing but amazing, unique, and super talented. I'm grateful to have been able to share hours indulging myself into these readings. Anyway, great job, guys! You are all so talented and creative. I tried my best to grade these without bias or sleepy-eyes because I'm a night owl and I did most of these between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. Haha. I tried not to strictly search for anything wrong and I tried not to make any mistakes, but we're all human. *smiles* Best of luck to you all and at the end of the day, you are all talented winners!

With love,

JP.
