Any privilege (or non privilege) from wealth, education, access to water, and geography based on where you were born are essentially fully random ~1 / 8,000,000,000. I wanted to represent that so I built www.thebirthlottery.com where you can see all those possibilities.
This is built off of real World Bank data so it is as realistic as possible. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Please show me in DM or thread if you get any cool countries or rare achievements, I haven't even unlocked everything myself. Also if you think anything is inaccurate or misrepresented, I'm definitely interested in hearing.

This is really cool and shows how awesome LLMs can be for getting ideas that would have never been built otherwise into reality! I got Very Wealthy in Tanzania as my epic pull 🙂
Only suggestion I have is to let users continue to the next steps with the enter button on the keyboard and to add a button or checkbox to skip the animation of the lights moving around the world.
It would be cool if there was an option to input your own data and see how many other people match that description and what the odds that are
Top 1% in Norway! My dream!
currently it seems the education level, water access, and life expectancy are not correlated with the wealth level. It would be far more interesting if the rolls actually looked at the education, water availability, and education distributions for that country correlated with the random wealth level each roll picks.
