How many entries did Primrose have in the Hunger Games lottery?
As we all know, Prim was originally selected to be the District 12 Female Tribute for the 74th annual Hunger Games. However, here's the problem: Prim only had one entry into the Games. There were at least a few thousand more people that could have been picked.
How many times is Primrose entered into the lottery?
The inciting incident for the entire series is the moment Prim's name is drawn at the Reaping Ceremony, and before that, Katniss tells her not to worry about her first year because her name only appears in the lottery one time.
Katniss, who is sixteen, will have her name in twenty times, and Gale, who is eighteen, will have his in forty-two times. Katniss's sister, Prim, is only twelve and has taken no tesserae, so her name is only in once.
Summary and Analysis Part 1: Chapter 2. Katniss volunteers to take her sister's place as tribute, thinking about how the odds had been in Prim's favor, that her name was one in a thousand and never should have been drawn in the first place.

How many kills did Katniss get?
Answer and Explanation: Katniss kills Glimmer, Marvel, and Cato in The Hunger Games. Glimmer's death occurs by chance. Katniss drops a tracker jacker nest on the Career Tributes' camp while they are sleeping, and Glimmer is stung to death before she can get away.
The families of victors can be used as leverage to force them to bend to the Capitol's will. Katniss also mentioned that the children of victors are reaped to participate in the Hunger Games suspiciously often.
Prim's cat is named Buttercup. He is a ragged-looking yellow cat with a surly disposition, except when it comes to Prim. Buttercup adores Prim because she rescued him and nursed him back to health. Through Prim's connection with Buttercup, Collins establishes the young girl's caring nature early in the novel.
It's mentioned in the books that both protagonists, Katniss and Gale, have taken numerous tesserae to keep their families from starving, and to save their younger siblings from increasing their odds. A well-off 18-year-old would have only seven slips in the globe. Katniss has 20. Gale has 42.
It is also cumulative, so Katniss Everdeen, when she was sixteen, had her name put in the glass ball twenty times. Gale Hawthorne, who has five family members including himself, had his name put in the glass ball forty-two times.
Katniss, meanwhile, is four years older and very protective of Prim, and so without hesitation she volunteers to take her sister's place. Moreover, she has years of experience hunting (and therefore killing) and is far less sensitive than her sister, making her more likely to survive the ordeal of the Games.
All Gale wants is to keep his family and those close to him safe. By the time he was 18 (the same year "The Hunger Games" takes place), he had put his name into the Reaping 42 times in order to gain extra food for his family and reduce the chance of his three younger siblings being chosen as a District 12 tribute.
If Katniss hadn't volunteered, Prim most likely would have been killed and would not have won as her sister did. Prim was an intelligent, compassionate, and courageous individual with excellent medical skills, but she didn't have the combat skills or selective ruthlessness needed to win.
Author Suzanne Collins asked to have it changed to the orange variety she had described in the books. And director Francis Lawrence has followed through with the orange cat in the following two installments. Two cats were used in filming, one "mellow" actor cat for most scenes.
Who was the youngest girl to win the Hunger Games?
Finnick Odair is the youngest winner in history, winning at just 14 years old. District 2 has the most overall winners, producing "Career Tributes" and having the highest number of victors among all districts. Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes!
Out of all the Hunger Games winners that are known in the movies and books, it is clear one district rises above the others. As the entire list of winners is not known, judging by the information known, it appears that District 12 has the most Hunger Games victors with five in total.
She stumbles into the snow at first, but then she dusts herself off, rises, and begins waving to the photographers, arm in arm with Peeta. The camera zooms out to a neutral angle, giving audiences a sudden, somewhat startling reminder that oh, that's right—Katniss is slightly taller than Peeta.
During Catching Fire, things in District 12 became so dire that Rory was forced to take tesserae, to Hazelle and Gale's discomfort. Although they also lived in District 12, Madge Undersee and Peeta Mellark never needed to take out any tesserae because Madge was the mayor's daughter and Peeta's father owned a bakery.
Katniss purchased that goat after Rooba came by and said that she, in fact, didn't want the goat; then she winked at Katniss. Together, Katniss and Gale deliver the goat to Prim who was all too excited to care for it.
Prim is Katniss' 12-year-old sister. Prim takes after their mother, who has light hair and blue eyes. This reaping is her first, and Katniss has only allowed her to enter her name once into the drawing.
Years before the trilogy, Buttercup was found by Prim as a kitten. Katniss described him as "scrawny... [his] belly swollen with worms, [and] crawling with fleas." Katniss was averse to adopting him because it was another mouth to feed.
Finnick Odair was a male victor from District 4 and the winner of the 65th Hunger Games, making him the youngest Victor ever. Ten years later, he was reaped into the Third Quarter Quell, of which he was one of the survivors.
Johanna won the 71st Hunger Games by pretending to be weak and that made all the other tributes leave her for last. Then she unleashed her full potential and violently killed all the remaining tributes. Johanna, being the only remaining District 7 female victor, was Reaped for the 75th Hunger Games.
Reaping: The annual drawing of names to decide which tributes will go to the games. Children must enter the reaping at age 12 and add one entry each year until age 18. Because the entries are cumulative, at 18 one name has been entered seven times.
