This campaign for Lottery of Life outlines the differences between North American living and the [third world lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwelcome-home). The contrast is shocking, with [print ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underpaid-women) cleverly depicting two locations that seem similar, but have very different things going on.

An example includes a woman running by a field to get exercise as opposed to a man running by a field to escape an attack. The Lottery of Life campaign also boasts an interactive website with a "game."
