Packard Jennings will design “fake” lottery tickets for his project Lottery Tickets. As a prize, each “Scratcher” will have a unique message that pertains to the unusual and simple pleasures of the local community as told by residents and shop owners. Jennings’ artist-designed lottery tickets will be handed out with other Lottery purchases or upon request from local stores in four Bay Area neighborhoods. Through short prose and drawn symbols, the scratch-off tickets will direct the participant’s attention to local sites and experiences. The intention is to transform an instant of personal greed into a moment of contemplation about the local environment, community, and culture.
