School choice lotteries are an important tool for allocating access to high-quality and oversubscribed public schools. While prior evidence suggests that winning a school lottery decreases adult criminality, there is little evidence for how school choice lotteries impact non-lottery students who are left behind at their neighborhood school.

The main result of the paper is that a single and multiple lottery mechanism are equivalent for the problem of allocating students to schools…
