"dog of death" also parodies lottery advertisements. in one commercial featured in the episode, an announcement states: "the state lottery, where everybody wins," while a tiny disclaimer at the bottom of the screen can be seen saying: "actual odds of winning, one in 380,000,000." during the peak of the lottery fever in springfield, news anchor kent brockman announces on television that people hoping to get tips on how to win the jackpot have borrowed every available copy of shirley jackson's book "the lottery" at the local library. one of them is homer, who throws the book into the fireplace after kent reveals that "of course, the book does not contain any hints on how to win the lottery. it is, rather, a chilling tale of conformity gone mad." in her book "shirley jackson: essays on the literary legacy", bernice murphy comments that this scene displays some of the most contradictory things about jackson: "it says a lot about the visibility of jackson's most notorious tale that more than 50 years after its initial creation it is still famous enough to warrant a mention in the world's most famous sitcom. the fact that springfield's citizenry also miss the point of jackson's story completely [...] can perhaps be seen as an indication of a more general misrepresentation of jackson and her work."
