Why did you have to endure it, since the end was always the same? Why was it not possible to cut a few days or weeks out of your life? Nobody ever escaped detection,
and nobody ever failed to confess. When once you had succumbed to thought crime it was certain that by a given date
you would be dead. Why then did that horror, which altered nothing, have to lie embedded in future time?
Winston had nothing to do with the running of the Lottery, which was managed by the Ministry of Plenty, but he was aware
(indeed everyone in the party waS aware) that the prizes were largely imaginary. Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being non-existent persons.
