Why do Katniss and Gale have a higher chance of being selected for The Games than Madge. (Hunger Games Chpt.1 book 1)
Bess [88]

Katniss and Gale are more likely to be selected because they applied for the tesserae (food rationing) which means each year their names were added twice instead of once.  So, there are more pieces of paper with their names on them with the possibility of being drawn.
