What do you think? Do you like The Lottery TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
those ratings are kind of bad 🙁 I really like this show but I never had time to actually watch it on tv, hope it gets renewed.
Please don’t cancel the show. Not after one season. I loved the show. Don’t want to be left hanging like we got with Flash Forward.
Please have a second season, my family loved the show!!!
Loved this show. Please RENEW
I loved this show! I definitely think you should renew it. I liked the way lifetime came out with an interesting sci-fi series!
Love this unique show! Please have a second season!
Love it!! Please renew!
I would like to see a second season!! Please bring it back.
Another season would be good. It seemed like they just ended it But could develop more plot hope it comes back
I love this show! Please renew
The way the season ended, it seemed to me that the show is over. Maybe they did that in case it is, but can pick it up if they choose. Honestly, even though I enjoyed the show, I think the storyline is over.
Renew the serious!
I think the storyline is great! I really want to see a second series. The characters are interesting and the story moves at a good pace. Its also a very original theme for a sci-fi, which is hard to come by. This is one of my favourite shows. It would be the wrong thing to do, to cancel it so soon, as I’m sure the writer(s) have a lot more to offer… Hoping for a sensible outcome, like many other viewers of The Lottery . Thanks

I think the lottery was the best show I’ve seen all year and would love for it to be renewed it would be a huge disappointment for so many viewers if it was cancelled on such a cliff hanger of what happens. Please consider renewing it thanks.
Please renew this series. I recorded all the episodes and didn’t want to miss anything in the show. I am anxiously awaiting the new episodes to begin….
