What is it?

Sometimes it isn't possible to distribute goods evenly. When this happens, we often leave it up to randomness – in the form of lotteries – to decide who gets what.  Is this just?  Or is it merely the best we can do?  What distinguishes fair systems of randomization from unfair ones?  John and Ken take their chances with Peter Stone, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Stanford University.
