Solar Lottery Philip K Dick

In Solar Lottery anyone can become the ruler of the solar system. There are no elections, no interviews, not even any prerequisitesit all comes down to the random turns of a giant wheel. But when a new Quizmaster takes over, the old one still keeps some rights, namely the right to hire an unending stream of assassins to attempt to kill the new leader. And in the meantime, a religious group is trying to escape from Earth to rendezvous with their possibly dead leader at the edge of the solar system, using the new lottery as a distraction.
