Congressional office lottery

Robert Garcia after the lottery, holding the number that he drew

The office lottery for the United States House of Representatives determines the order in which incoming representatives can choose rooms in the congressional office buildings. The lottery takes place every two years following elections to that chamber and does not take place for the United States Senate. The draw is generally merry, with members dancing and bringing favorite possessions for luck.
