Nice idea and illustration. I like the way the colorful lottery ticket contrasts with the plain black and white of the books. The slogan on the ticket is a little hard to read, and it took a while to realize that's what it is.

It was ok to use text, just wondered why you didn't? Be prepared to divide the winnings?

A little too crass to work as a motivational poster ;)

Too bad you didn't get the words on the photo, like a poster - I know the directions were a little hazy on this.

Photo is a bit too cluttered. Also I do not understand what a lottery ticket has to do with studying. Being smarter doesn't make you win a lottery any faster.

I think the lottery ticket undermines you basic premise somewhat.
