I won $874.55 in lotto.  That was over twenty years ago.

I am about to start playing a new lotto game.  The difference with this new lotto game is I don’t play with numbers.  The difference with this new lotto game is I don’t win money.

I play with tissue and blood type.

If I win the prize is a kidney.

My new specialist is about to start the testing process so I can play the Kidney Lottery.  Once I have all my test results I can start playing with approximately 4,500 other Australians.  One by one we all register our results into the lottery.  And we wait.  We all wait for a generous donor to leave behind a kidney.  A kidney that matches our test results.  It’s a lottery.

BINGO.

One day my results will match a donor.

One day my results will be drawn from the pool of needy recipients.

One day I will get a new kidney.

One day I will win the lotto again.

The Kidney Lottery is my new game.
